Summary:

"The Nationwide Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) Initiative as described in this Concept of Operations (CONOPS) builds on what law enforcement and other agencies have been doing for years--gathering information regarding behaviors and incidents associated with crime--and establishes a process whereby SAR information can be shared to help detect and prevent terrorism-related criminal activity. Although not specifically using the term "suspicious activity reporting," the 9/11 Commission Report is replete with examples of opportunities lost because available information was inaccessible outside a specific agency or narrow community of interest because of what the Commission referred to as "the human or systemic resistance to sharing information."The Commission recognized that Federal, State, local, and tribal (SLT) governments have access to information which could, when synthesized with information from other sources, help identify precursor activities of terrorist attacks. The challenge is to make this information available to those who need it in time to protect our people and institutions while at the same time ensuring that information privacy, civil liberties, and other legal rights are adequately protected."--Introduction
