enhance the exchange of information between MSAIC and local, state, tribal, and federal partners
to ensure a safer Mississippi. I would like to remind the citizens of Mississippi that no piece of
information is too small and, most importantly, if you see something, say something.”
“Director Bromen’s law enforcement experience makes him an excellent addition to the
Mississippi Analysis and Information Center,” said Commissioner Sean Tindell. “Under his
leadership, MSAIC will continue to assist the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security in crime
