• Coordinating an extensive information sharing network between all levels of government and local officials.

• Assisting all city, county and tribal governments with an ongoing assessment of their jurisdictions to determine their anti-terrorism needs.  

• Managing anti-terrorism Homeland Security grants to assist city, county and tribal governments with the acquisition of resources needed to both prevent acts of terrorism and to respond and recover should one occur.
