intelligence guide for first responders - 2nd edition | introduction
This Interagency Threat Assessment and Coordination Group (ITACG) Intelligence Guide for
First Responders is designed to assist first responders in accessing and understanding Federal
intelligence reporting and to encourage the sharing of information. The information in this
guide was derived, compiled, and adapted from existing unclassified Intelligence Community
and open-source references.
The ITACG consists of state, local, and tribal first responders from around the United States
and federal intelligence analysts from the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and National Counterterrorism Center working to enhance the sharing of federal
information on counterterrorism, homeland security, and weapons of mass destruction with
state, local, and tribal consumers of intelligence.
