Looking forward, we are in the process of implementing the following: We are incorporating into new agent training more practical exercises in which trainees task intelligence analysts and use intelligence products in the course of their mock investigations. We are developing specialized and advanced training for Special Agents, tied to Intelligence, Counterterrorism/Counterintelligence, Cyber, and Criminal career paths. This training is being developed and presented on a phased-in basis, with the intelligence career path training as the first priority. We are designing a training development plan for advanced and specialized intelligence training necessary for Intelligence Officer Certification. We are working to integrate intelligence-related topics throughout all in-service agent training. We are developing computer-based training on the integration of intelligence and policing. This effort is a collaboration among federal, state, and municipal law enforcement representatives, who will put forth a "model" to be used by all law enforcement as the benchmark for intelligence and policing. The planned CD/DVD will be a key distance learning resource for agents and other FBI employees, as well as for the FBI's partners tn state and municipal law enforcement. We are developing new courses supporting counterterrorism operations that will be delivered through a combination of classroom instruction and web-based training on our intranet. Classes currently under development include’ Developing Sources Understanding Islam and the Arab Culture Reports Officers and Counterterrorism Advanced Surveillance and Counter-surveillance Techniques National Security investigation Attorney General Guidelines National Security Investigation Tools and Techniques Terrorism Screening Center Tools Program Evaluations If the FBI's continuing transformation is to succeed, it is vital that we provide not only the necessary tools, but also appropriate guidance and motivation. We can no longer evaluate our programs solely on the basis of case-focused measures such as the number of indictments and convictions. Accordingly, we have developed new standardized metrics to evaluate the performance of the Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, Cyber, and Criminal Investigative Programs. The new metrics will encourage the proactive activities, information gathering, and coordination with partners needed to build a strong intelligence base. For example, the Counterterrorism Program now will be evaluated, in part, on the quality of its threat assessments, the development of human and other sources of information that contribute to the intelligence base, and its information sharing and liaison activities. Beginning in October 2004, program Coordinators in each field office will be required to conduct semi-annual program reviews using the new metrics. . MISC DOC. #5 34 000000373
