Officers use HSIN to Share
Intelligence about Hells Angels Rally
HSIN was deployed to nearly 500 patrol officers,
investigators and administrators in advance of the recent Hells Angels USA Run
rally in Rockford, IL. Federal, state and local law enforcement all came
together to use the chat interface, file tool and message boards in HSIN
Connect in order to secure the event of more than 1,000 attendees. “In my 24
years in being involved in multi-jurisdictional law enforcement operations, I
found HSIN Connect to be a very useful incident-based information and
intelligence sharing tool,” remarked Illinois State Police Investigations
Commander Captain Jim Winters. “HSIN was widely used and praised from the
patrol officers to the chiefs as a practical way to connect multiple agencies.”
If you’re interested in learning more about the successful operation in
Rockford, IL and how you might be able to use HSIN to manage large events in
your area, please contact Illinois Fusion Center (Statewide Terrorism &
Intelligence Center) Director Lt. Eric Wolf at eric_wolf@isp.state.il.us.

Need help developing a HSIN solution? Check out the new HUWG Best
Practices site on HSIN Central! You can find it easily in the top navigation
bar (between Training and FAQs). The site includes a “Can You Help?” discussion
thread, an “Idea of the Month” library, a “Tips and Tricks” library, and a “You
Can Call, Call on Us” list of HSIN Outreach leaders, Mission Advocates, and
HUWG members. We hope to include your suggestions as we grow the site into a
lively town square for HSIN members.
First question on the site: how to streamline the nomination/validation
process.
