Background

The Community Liaison Program was established in April, 2006. It created the public outreach section of ACTIC.

More than 4,000 contact representatives from 300 private and public sector organizations participate in the Community Liaison Program.

Ongoing Goals of the Program

• Establish and Maintain a Strong "Two-Way Information Flow" that Shares Knowledge between Law Enforcement, Local Businesses and the Public.
• Provide a Dedicated Public Safety Liaison to Manage the Program and actively promote the Importance of Treatingevery business like it was a "Critical Infrastructure Business."

CLP is a conduit for assimilating information flow "To and From" law enforcement agencies into impacted communities. This results in the ability to share information faster through a Redaction Process (compiling & building multiple sources of information into one single form) via DHS/FBI bulletins, Terrorism Liaison Officer and LEA contacts.
