About the Role

This position serves as an essential member of the Florida Intelligence Center's 24/7 Intelligence Watch & Warning section within the Office of Statewide Intelligence.

Your day-to-day responsibilities involve answering phones, creating and disseminating correspondence, conducting facial recognition, and monitoring security cameras. You will research and triage information for domestic security incidents, handle urgent threat-to-life notifications from INTERPOL, and analyze suspicious activity reports received through the See Something, Say Something initiative. This role requires excellent customer service, multi-tasking, time management, and decision-making skills, particularly in high-stress emergency situations.
