Active Citizen Program

Active Citizen Program leverages the eyes and ears of the community to assist law enforcement

Main Concept:Community based approach to empowering citizens as partners with law enforcement in the effort to protect their neighborhoods and communities.

Issues:*Events of Sept 11th and subsequent investigations reveal that the terrorists easily integrated into American communities.

*Americans are not aware of what indicators to look for.

*No program currently exists to educate the American public about things to look for in pre-attack environments

*No processes or programs exist to motivate Americans to inform law enforcement officials of suspicious activity.

*Most terrorists will infiltrate into ethnically-friendly lower/middle class economic communities.

*Most ethnic communities are suspicious of or non-cooperative with law enforcement programs.

*Existing community-based programs are not compatible with the terrorist modus operandi.

*An Alert and Trained Public is the greatest Deterrent to

attacks

Assessment Concept Indications and Warning/Situation

Awareness Concept

Domestic Emergency Response Information Service (DERIS)

Demonstrated feasibility of portal based approach for LEA crisis response

Implements National Institute for Urban Search and Rescue standards for eXtreme Information Infrastructure (XII)

Prototype a common operational picture and provide real-time C2 for Joint Civil-Military Operations

LEA from Chicago, San Diego and Los Angeles utilized collaboration portal within context of a potential terrorist attack

Burning Man Event

Burning Man Event held annuallySpontaneous community of 25,000 people gathering to explore social phenomena Implentation

Established robust collaboration network in an austere environment Employed portal tools as primary means for receiving, archiving and disseminating

emergency management essential elements of information Over four day period, implemented complex cultural analysis focused on the dynamics of

an emergent community Social Structure (caste, tribal, warlord) Religion, Ethnic Groups Evolving Economic Structure and Status Political structure and stability Language and Dialect Reaction to intervening forces Location and identification of key social facilities, etc Implications Terrain and Weather

Developed Reach-back technique to interface with San Diego State University Sociology Lab and San Diego Data Processing Center’s GIS applications

Provided Situation Awareness Products describing community profile in real time Integrated products and tools within 3-D virtual Emergency Operations Center Employ advanced visualization techniques

Shadow Bowl Concept

Public Safety Super Bowl Planners Develop Distributed Command Center Concept

Concerns “As-is” Communication Infrastructure didn’t support concept WMD attack impact on pre-staged Responders Non-traditional threat warning, Situation Awareness, and Cross Cultural

Collaboration gaps Shadow Bowl Addresses Concerns

Employed subject matter experts from community to establish a state of the art communications infrastructure to help link command centers

Established national medical reach-back architecture and mass casualty triage site

Employed chem, bio, radiological, physiological, high resolution optics and acoustic sensors grid. Tied these feeds into an all-source fusion center and disseminated situation reports over multiple collaboration networks

Tied together entire regions law enforcement and emergency response agencies into an information awareness network
