| - The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA) (formerly known as the "Office of Intelligence") is a member of the Intelligence Community (IC) and ensures that information related to homeland security threats is collected, analyzed, and disseminated to the full spectrum of homeland security customers in the Department of Homeland Security; at State, Local, and Tribal levels; in the private sector; and in the IC. OIA works closely with DHS component intelligence organizations and State, Local, Tribal, Territorial, and private sector entities to ensure nontraditional streams of information are fused with traditional IC sources to provide a complete assessment of threats to the United States. OIA receives intelligence information regarding threats to transportation and designs intelligence products intended for officials in TSA, other parts of the federal government, state and local officials, and industry officials with transportation responsibilities that include airline, rail, and pipeline security coordinators; airport and public transit law enforcement officials; and transportation associations, among others. OIA receives and assesses intelligence from within and outside of the intelligence community to determine its relevance to transportation security. OIA also has deployed field intelligence officers throughout the United States, who, among other duties, serve as liaisons with state and local law enforcement officials as well as with fusion centers. Sources of information outside the intelligence community include other DHS components, law enforcement agencies, and owners and operators of transportation system. OIA disseminates security information to stakeholders representing the various transportation modes through several security-related information products, as shown in Table 1. File:TSA2.png OIA is headed by an Under Secretary, who also serves as the department's Chief Intelligence Officer, and is responsible to both the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence. The OIA's mission is supported by four strategic goals:
* Promote understanding of threats through intelligence analysis
* Collect information and intelligence pertinent to homeland security
* Share information necessary for action
* Manage intelligence for the homeland security enterprise. DHS is responsible for sharing terrorism-related information with its state and local partners, and within DHS, OIA is the designated lead component for this mission. OIA has initiatives underway to identify state and local information needs, developing intelligence products to meet these needs, and obtaining more detailed feedback on the timeliness and usefulness of these products, among other things. OIA also provided a number of services to its state and local partners — primarily through fusion centers.
