Dallas MOSAIC - Bryant McGill

# Dallas MOSAIC **Domain:** Austin Research / Institutions **Doc Type:** Research entity **Source basis:** Supplied research cluster with linked references; see the [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|evidence map]] for verification scope. **Dallas MOSAIC**, the Metro Operations Support and Analytical Intelligence Center, is the municipal analytical and fusion initiative described in Dallas’s 2008 public-safety briefing. The briefing connects its development to analytical tools, partner relationships, and [[wiki/Law Enforcement Analysis Portal|LEAP]]. This provides a North Texas institutional node in the same data-sharing geography that later includes Austin’s LEAP agreement. [[wiki/IARPA MOSAIC|IARPA MOSAIC]] is a different program, with a different expansion and research object. The shared name should not substitute for an institutional lineage. The useful comparison is integration of heterogeneous observations, with the Dallas program situated in municipal public safety. ## Connected entries [[wiki/Law Enforcement Analysis Portal|Law Enforcement Analysis Portal]] · [[wiki/North Central Texas Council of Governments|North Central Texas Council of Governments]] · [[wiki/Austin Regional Intelligence Center|Austin Regional Intelligence Center]] · [[wiki/IARPA MOSAIC|IARPA MOSAIC]] ## Sources and corpus context - [[research/Oden Institute - Machine Learning, Medicine, and Terrorism|Oden Institute - Machine Learning, Medicine, and Terrorism]] - [[research/ODIN - Observe, Detect, Identify, Neutralize|ODIN - Observe, Detect, Identify, Neutralize]] - [Dallas — MOSAIC Public Safety Update (2008)](https://www3.dallascityhall.com/committee_briefings/briefings0108/PS_010708_MOSAIC.pdf) **Cluster:** [[wiki/Austin Executable Loop|Austin Executable Loop]] · [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|Austin Research Evidence Map]]  ## LEAP in the wider federal sharing environment The DHS LEIS partner list changes how Dallas’s early LEAP connection should be read: the portal also occupied a reported federal MOU relationship. Austin’s later participation joined that broader records environment through NCTCOG. The municipal MOSAIC institution, NCTCOG portal, and DHS service remain separate components of the documented geography.
