The Virginia Fusion Center is sponsoring a session of the Basic Course of the Fusion Liaison Officer Training Program.
What is a Fusion Liaison Officer?
A Fusion Liaison Officer (FLO) is an individual that serves as the main point of contact for their agency and corresponds with the Virginia Fusion Center in matters related to suspicious activity and intelligence. The FLO continues to work for and is under complete control of their parent agency. The VFC supplies the FLO and their agency with a place to exchange information and receive vetted intelligence.
