The Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) is responsible for the management and operation of the Terrorist Screening Database, commonly known as “the watchlist.” The watchlist is a single database that contains sensitive national security and law enforcement information concerning the identities of those who are known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activities.

During this reporting period, IIR, at the direction of the PM-ISE and in partnership with DHS and the FBI, began the development of the Enhanced Engagement Initiative.

As a part of this effort, a task team meeting was held on April 6, 2017, in McKinney, Texas. It is anticipated that the EEI resource will be finalized in the next reporting period.

1 Introduction
This provides background and details on a methodology developed at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
(NRL). This methodology has shown applicability to modeling criminal events and will be demonstrated to
