How SAS delivers effective national security solutions

  • 9.3 million

    The state of North Carolina delivered 9.3 million doses of the initial COVID-19 vaccines – enough for almost every person in the state at a given time.

  • 1.8 million

    West Virginia has a population of 1.8 million spread out across diverse and sometimes deeply rural geography, making it difficult for law enforcement to track crime statewide. To overcome this, the West Virginia Fusion Center uses SAS to equip agencies with tools that unify and visualize data, helping them prevent and solve crimes more efficiently.
