Terrorist Threat Integration Center

Overview
In May 2003, the leaders of the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense established the Terrorist Threat Integration Center (TTIC) (without a statutory mandate) to merge all threat information in a single location. Some Members of Congress expressed concerns about the possibility that the roles of the DHS intelligence analysis office and TTIC might be confused, but DHS was a partner in TTIC and gradually came to concentrate on serving as a bridge between the national intelligence community and state, local,and tribal law enforcement agencies that had never been components of the national [[Intelligence Community.
