If you need information on suspicious persons from the Virginia region, which resource would you contact?

• A. Virginia Fusion Center
• B. Terrorism Screening Center
• C. Federal Bureau of Investigation
• D. Department of Defense

Answer: (A)

Regional information sharing is handled through fusion centers that collect, analyze, and share data on suspicious activity with state, local, and federal partners. The Virginia Fusion Center serves Virginia as the central hub for reporting and accessing information about suspicious persons in the region, coordinating with law enforcement and other agencies to provide region-specific intelligence and situational awareness. The Terrorism Screening Center operates national watchlists and screening, the FBI is a federal agency with nationwide reach, and the Department of Defense is military and not the primary source for civilian, region-focused information.
