Fusion Center Privacy Policy Development – Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Policy Template

Citation: Fusion Center Privacy Policy Development – Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Policy Template.

Overview
The Fusion Center Privacy Policy Development: Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Policy Template was developed in collaboration with the DHS/DOJ Fusion Process Technical Assistance Program and DOJ’s Global Privacy and Information Quality Working Group (GPIQWG). The template assists fusion center personnel in developing a center privacy policy related to the information, intelligence, and suspicious activity report (SAR) information the center collects, receives, maintains, archives, accesses, and discloses to center personnel, governmental agencies, Information Sharing Environment (ISE) participants, and other participating criminal justice and public safety agencies, as well as to private contractors and the general public.

Provisions contained in this template help centers comply with requirements of the DHS’ Homeland Security Grant Program Guidance, the ISE Privacy Guidelines, and the National Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative.
