How the NRIC Was Established

The NCRIC was established by the Northern California High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (NC HIDTA) Executive Board in 2007, combining the personnel, intelligence, and investigative resources of the region's Investigative Support Center (ISC), the Northern California Regional Threat Assessment Center (NC RTAC), and Terrorism Early Warning Groups (TEWGs).

NCRIC is an integral component of The National Fusion Center Enterprise, is part of the State Threat Assessment System (STAS), and is one of 79 state governor-designated and DHS recognized fusion centers in the United States.

Providing Essential Visibility and Training

With the cooperation of the law enforcement community, the NCRIC provides comprehensive training and intelligence products that give public safety officials a vital regional picture of trends and patterns relating to terrorist operations, major drug trafficking organizations, and other major criminal activities.

Funding for training is provided by the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and DHS through the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and the Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative (Bay Area UASI).

We also:

Provide training to public and private NCRIC member agencies and organizations
Serve as the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, STAS, National Network of Fusion Centers (NNFC), and DHS National Operations Center (NOC) intelligence and information sharing point of contact for the Northern District of California

Protecting Critical Infrastructure

Beyond helping to protect the community, the NCRIC helps its members prepare for incidents of terrorism in order to protect critical infrastructure through heightened vigilance and other risk reduction measures. We accomplish this by:

Collecting, compiling, and analyzing vulnerability, threat, and consequence data to assess risk
Disseminating advisories, bulletins, and alerts
Promoting a robust information sharing environment among all stakeholders

Supporting our National Network of Fusion Centers

Per the White House's National Strategy for Information Sharing and Safeguarding, the NCRIC serves as the regional "all major crimes" intelligence fusion center for the Federal Northern District of California.

As such, we centralize the intake, analysis, fusion, synthesis, and dissemination of Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) as well as criminal and homeland security intelligence throughout the Northern California coastal counties.

The NCRIC's personnel and technology resources are also funded through the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and DHS through Cal OES and the Bay Area UASI.

Who Governs the NCRIC:

The day-to-day administrative, financial, and program management for the operations of the NCRIC are the responsibilities of the HIDTA/NCRIC executive director and the deputy directors. The NCRIC is governed by the HIDTA executive board.
