Info

The last six years saw a proliferation of interagency partnerships of other kinds, and these partnerships appear to represent opportunities for building trust among police agencies. The FBI and its law enforcement partners, for instance, have created more than 100 Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs). 12 Remedy deficits in analysis capability The 2002 summit charged the CICC with establishing analytical standards. Since then, Global and IALEIA published Law Enforcement Analytic Standards in 2004. Global issued Law Enforcement Analyst Certification Standards in 2006. 13 Global and its partners issued Minimum Criminal Intelligence Training Standards for Law Enforcement and Other Criminal Justice Agencies in the United States in 2004 and updated the standards to reflect the current Information Sharing Environment in 2007. IALEIA also has built a basic level certification around the NCISP objectives for analysts with the Foundations of Intelligence Analysis Training. Improve training The 2002 summit recommendations emphasized the need to train both current and incoming officers on criminal intelligence sharing. In that spirit, the Global publication referenced earlier again serves as a useful guide Minimum Criminal Intelligence Training Standards for Law Enforcement and Other Criminal Justice Agencies in the United States and updated them in 2007. The Intelligence Training Coordination Working Group and the Counterterrorism Training Coordination Working Group launched the Criminal Intelligence Training Master Calendar 14 in 2007. 5. Access law enforcement Web sites, subscribe to law enforcement listservs, and use the Internet as an information resource. Many Web sites on the Internet and others on closed networks provide valuable intelligence assessments and news. Listservs provide instant and widespread communication for investigators. Listservs allow both the receipt and distribution of intelligence information. The Internet provides a wealth of open-source information, including government information and access to private agencies that share with law enforcement. 6. Provide your agency members with appropriate training on the criminal intelligence process. Some training models or modules are already found in Internetbased and interactive CDs, such as the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts (IALEIA), <strong>National</strong> White Collar Crime Center, and LEIU “Turn Key Intelligence.” A listing of available intelligence training sources and specifically scheduled classes is found on the IALEIA Web site: www.ialeia.org. This listing allows individuals to directly contact training source agencies and organizations for more information on classes and schedules. continued Developing and Sharing Information and Intelligence in a New Era, Guideline 4, Page 29 (August 2005). 12 U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, "Protecting America against Terrorist Attack: A Closer Look at the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Forces," FBI Web site, December 1, 2004, http://www.fbi.gov/page2/dec04/jttf120114.htm. 13 U.S. Department of Justice, Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative, Law Enforcement Analyst Certification Standards (August 2006), http://www.iir.com/global/products/law_enforcement_analyst_certification_standards.pdf. 14 http://mastercalendar.ncirc.gov/ 13
Improve technology Participants in the 2002 summit cautioned that technological improvements could enhance criminal intelligence sharing capabilities only where good policies, careful training, and trust already existed. They also acknowledged that technology in 2002 was inadequate to the task at hand. Since then, Global has developed a markup language and dictionary designed to standardize data records and allow police agencies to share information seamlessly. The trend toward mobile computing has increased the number of police officers who can submit and retrieve information and intelligence files using computers in police vehicles. Technology has also enabled the enhanced protection of information privacy and civil liberties through automated procedures for redress, data quality, data security, notice mechanisms, and accountability, enforcement, and audit mechanisms. DOJ and DHS jointly developed the <strong>National</strong> Information Exchange Model, one of many efforts to improve the way agencies share information electronically. For more information on these efforts, readers may want to refer to the Epilogue in this report.

Become a member of your inregion Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) center. RISS operates the only secure Web-based nationwide network for communication and exchange of criminal intelligence information by local, state, federal, and tribal participating law enforcement member agencies. RISS partners with other law enforcement systems to electronically connect them to RISSNET, including High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Investigative Support centers and other federal and state agency systems. 8. Become a member of the FBI’s Law Enforcement Online (LEO) system. The FBI’s LEO system is a sensitive but unclassified, realtime information sharing communications system for all levels of the law enforcement community and is available at no cost to its users. LEO provides secure e-mail capability, a national alert mechanism, and access to over 125 special-interest groups for sharing information by providing access to other networks, systems, databases, and other services. 9. Partner with public and private infrastructure sectors. Regular communication with the entities that control America’s critical infrastructures such as energy, agriculture, transportation, and shipping is critically important to ensuring the safety and security of the citizens in your community. 10. Participate in local, state, and national intelligence organizations. In most areas of the country, there are locally based intelligence organizations that welcome participation from all agencies and are often affiliated with state and national organizations. 14
