in·let n. (ˈin-let)
A stream or bay leading inland, as from the ocean; an estuary.
A connection between a bay and the ocean; often called an “entrance”.
An opening providing a means of entrance or intake.
As the ocean is connected to streams, rivers, and large bays through an inlet, INLETS connects larger agencies and their experience to mid-size and smaller agencies, together, making them all more effective.
Over the last 13 years, INLETS – partnering with the FBI and the Maryland State Fusion Center – have welcomed over 12,000 attendees from more than 1,100 agencies, across 47 states and seven countries. Thousands of attendee surveys rate INLETS courses a 9.4 (of 10).

MCAC Training
Law Enforcement PartnerThe Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center (MCAC) was established as a model facility for the analysis and dissemination of information in statewide support of law enforcement, public health and welfare, public safety and homeland security.
Fusion centers contribute to the Information Sharing Environment (ISE) through their role in receiving threat information from the federal government; analyzing that information in the context of their local environment; disseminating that information to local agencies; and gathering tips, leads, and suspicious activity reporting (SAR) from local agencies and the public. They analyze the information and develop relevant products to disseminate to their customers. These products assist homeland security partners at all levels of government to identify and address immediate and emerging threats.
Beyond serving as a focal point for information sharing, fusion centers add significant value to their customers by providing a state and local context to help enhance the national threat picture. Fusion centers provide the federal government with critical state and local information and subject matter expertise that it did not receive in the past – enabling the effective communication of locally generated threat related information to the federal government. Integrating and connecting these state and local resources creates a national capacity to gather, process, analyze, and share information in support of efforts to protect the country.
Our nation faces an evolving threat environment, in which threats not only emanate from outside our borders, but also from within our communities. This new environment demonstrates the increasingly critical role fusion centers play to support the sharing of threat-related information between the federal government and SLTT partners.

MCSS promotes collaboration among students, parents, educators, mental health practitioners, law enforcement, and crime prevention practitioners with a particular focus on the physical and emotional well-being of Maryland students. In concert with MCSS, Maryland public, non-public special education, and private schools are committed to fostering collaboration and effective communication among school staff, students, and law enforcement.
