The Analyst Position—There are three separate roles for the analyst position: * Operations Specialists provide critical front line intelligence support to investigations in the field and at FBI Headquarters, as well as case management assistance * Reports Officers identify and extract essential information and analysis from FBI Investigations and tnteligence products, and they synthesize the information into disseminable reports that are shared with appropriate FBI entities, law enforcement agencies, and the Intelligence Community This new position in the FBI ts. vital to our efforts to maximize the amount of information shared with our partners * All-Source Analysts examine data to find patterns and associations, use that knowledge to predict threats, and generate products to help investigators and decision-makers better understand and respond to present and future threats. The Analyst Career Track—We instituted an analyst career track that offers analysts three choices, After analysts reach a certain level of seniority (the GS-17 level}, they are asked if they are interested in: 1) building expertise in a specific program area (such as al-Qa'ida); 2) gaining broader experience that will prepare them to work in a number of program areas; or 3) working toward becoming a supervisor or manager In the Intelligence. Program. Training and temporary assignments appropriate to a particular track are first offered to analysts in that track. Supervision—The Ol establishes and implements standards for recruiting, hiring, training, and developing our analysts, and ensures that they are assigned to operational and field divisions based on intelligence priorities Operational and field divisions are responsible for day-to-day supervision of analysts and for adhering to the standards for analyst development established by the Ol. On February 1, 2004, we established a reporting structure that institutionalizes this shared responsibility, ensuring that the Ol has sufficient supervisory authority over analysts, and particularly over the analyst supervisors. Under this structure, analysts report to and receive their annual evaluations from their operational supervisors, and the Ol reviews and signs off on those evaluations. Section Chiefs who oversee analysts at Headquarters report to and receive their annual evaluations from officials in the Ol, and their evaluations are reviewed by supervisors in the Headquarters investigative division into which they are integrated. _ This reporting structure ensures that analysts remain embedded in their investigative units and responsive to operational needs while also being subject to supervision and deployment in accordance with the Bureau's averail intelligence requirements process. It also gives the O} the necessary authority to implement its intelligence processes through the analyst supervisors. Intelligence Production Board We established an FBI Intelligence Production Board to ensure that timely decisions are made regarding the production and dissemination of all analytical products.. The Board iS made up of representatives from each Headquarters operational division, the Ol, the FB! Laboratory, the Office of Law Enforcement Coardination, and DHS representatives, and is chaired by the EAD-| The Board holds daily meetings to review significant threats, developments, and issues emerging in each investigative priority area, and to identify topics for intelligence products. 30 000000369 MISsc DOC. #5 i pes fee a ed Essien a endekiad
