Like researchers in many scientific fields, the law enforcement, forensic analysis and intelligence communities face significant information overload as well as tremendous opportunities for innovation. The first National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Symposium on Intelligence and Security Informatics, being held June 2-3, 2003, in Tucson, Arizona, will highlight information technologies and policy issues for crime analysis, intelligence monitoring, deception detection, disaster prevention and management, and other topics.

Hosted by the University of Arizona and the Tucson Police Department, the symposium provides a forum for discussions among researchers, law enforcement and intelligence experts, and industry consultants and practitioners. The symposium also features keynote speakers from NSF, NIJ and the Intelligence Technology Innovation Center (ITIC) on information technology research related to homeland security, digital government, and public safety.
