The state’s seven (7) Regional Domestic Security Task Forces (RDSTFs) are the foundation of Florida’s domestic security structure. Each RDSTF is co-chaired by a local Sheriff or Police Chief and an FDLE Special Agent in Charge (SAC). Task force members include first responders from the disciplines of fire/rescue, emergency management, public health and hospitals, as well as law enforcement. The task forces also work in partnership with schools, businesses and private industries. By utilizing a multi-disciplinary approach, the RDSTFs provide support to impacted communities by serving as a force multiplier for local agencies, and working in conjunction with emergency management professionals.
Southeast Florida Fusion Center
The Southeast Florida Fusion Center (SEFFC) which falls under the SERDSTF is a collaborative effort of state, local, tribal territorial and federal agencies working in partnership to share resources, expertise, and/or information to better identify, detect, prevent, and respond to threats, crimes and terrorist activity using an all crimes/ all hazards approach. The SEFFC serves Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties, and is responsible for the development and implementation of effective information sharing policies and collaborative programs, to ensure the effective dissemination of criminal intelligence information across a multi-jurisdictional and multi-discipline environment. The SEFFC strives to build trusted relationships with our federal, state, local, tribal, and private sector partners to enhance our ability to secure the homeland, while protecting the privacy of our citizens.
The SFRPC engages 10 contracted Regional Intelligence Analysts to:
- produce Regional Quarterly Trend Reports,
- coordinate Regional Terrorism Liaison Officer Program classes for law enforcement and private partners,
- assist the Florida Fusion Center Network in production of statewide bulletins and assessments for information sharing,
- coordinate regional table top exercises, tactical operations and analytical trainings,
- participate in quarterly meetings, National Fusion Center Conferences, Southern Shield training events,
- and provide threat assessments for large events.
The SEFFC is a member of the National Network of Fusion Centers which allows for national level of collaboration and information sharing. Many partners continue to work remotely, however the Fusion Center has adapted. The SEFFC have utilized online platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom to ensure continuity in our essential functions.
