CIU has a working relationship with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), in accordance with Portland City Council Resolution Number 37424 as Amended.
Additionally, CIU conducts threat assessments for major events, dignitary visits, and investigates threats to public officials or other high-profile individuals. CIU also works jointly with the Behavioral Health Unit on individual threat assessments of people exhibiting behavior that may be a public risk and may have a mental health component.

CIU collaborates with the Oregon Department of Justice - Criminal Justice Division’s Oregon TITAN Fusion Center. The Oregon TITAN Fusion Center's (OTFC) mission is to protect Oregon citizens from terrorist and criminal activity by providing an all-crimes criminal information clearinghouse supported by multiple agencies and a Fusion Liaison Officer (FLO) program. OTFC provides criminal information products based on reasonable suspicion of terroristic and criminal indicators by collecting, gathering, analyzing and disseminating that information for the use of Oregon law enforcement, public safety, and public and private sector communities.
CIU complies with all federal and state laws regarding the collection, retention, and dissemination of intelligence information.
