Who Should Participate?
Both corporate and government personnel should be part of this advisory system.
Anyone who is responsible for the protection of a company or agency's security (physical, and/or information). This includes Directors of Security, Chief Information Officers, and others who are responsible for ensuring that business operations continue uninterrupted. Government agencies and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, are also part of the advisory distribution list.
The corporate sector's participation is necessary since they are the owners and operators of the largest majority of our nation's infrastructure and need to be informed of potential or pending threats to their operations or personnel.
Law enforcement, critical infrastructures, government agencies, and first responders should be a part of this advisory system.

Why Become A Partner?
Intelligence is a vital key to the “War on Terrorism”. Becoming a partner in the TEW program has several benefits; it ensures that potential threat-related, but not necessarily urgent, information is shared with our partners; it facilitates the productive liaison between local, state, and federal law enforcement; and it encourages the sharing of potentially crucial counter terrorism intelligence.
In today's environment this product is an absolute necessity for:
* Providing real time intelligence for working officers.
* Identifying trends and patterns of suspicious behaviors in the surrounding jurisdictions creating heightened situational awareness.
* Creating a vehicle for two-way communication between regional law enforcement agencies.
* Efficient use of your agency’s resources to best protect your respective communities.
* Connecting the dots between all levels of law enforcement.
WHAT TEW PARTNERS WILL RECEIVE.

The report will also include:
* Global and regional terrorism trends
