About Global

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) serves as a Federal Advisory Committee to the U.S. Attorney General on critical justice information sharing initiatives. Global promotes standards-based electronic information exchange to provide justice and public safety communities with timely, accurate, complete, and accessible information in a secure and trusted environment. Global is administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance.

This project was supported by Grant No. 2009-DB-BX-K105 awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Global Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative. The opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Foreword The U.S. Department of Justice’s Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global), its working groups, and partner agencies and organizations have developed many valuable resources that assist law enforcement intelligence personnel in improving agency operations and criminal intelligence sharing efforts. To centrally locate these resources so as to provide the law enforcement intelligence community with a single reference to “all things intelligence” is an ongoing challenge. As such, the Criminal Intelligence Resources Guide was created to address this need. While this document does not claim to be the all-encompassing guide to intelligence products, it does aim to capture a valuable representation of the intelligence-related resources available to the intelligence community. This document is considered to be a “living document,” and persistent effort will be employed to continually update it as new resources are identied. The Criminal Intelligence Resources Guide was prepared under the guidance of the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC), a Global working group, and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Ofce of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). This collaborative effort of state, local, tribal, and federal government ofcials, via the CICC and its research arm, the Global Intelligence Working Group, provides a well-balanced approach not only to the content and organization of this document but also to the many resources detailed herein.

About the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council The Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC), established in May 2004, is made up of members representing law enforcement and homeland security agencies from all levels of government and serves as an advocate for state, local, and tribal law enforcement and their efforts to develop and share criminal intelligence for the purpose of promoting public safety and securing the nation. The CICC operates at the policy level—setting priorities, directing research, and preparing advisory recommendations to the Global Advisory Committee (GAC). The GAC acts as the focal point for justice information sharing activities and works to provide the U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) with appropriate input from state, local, tribal, and federal agencies/associations in the ongoing pursuit of interjurisdictional and multidisciplinary justice information sharing.

Relationship to Intelligence-Led Policing The goals of the Criminal Intelligence Resources Guide and intelligence-led policing (ILP) are very similar, in that both ILP and the Criminal Intelligence Resources Guide seek to provide law enforcement with the ability to strategize and take a targeted approach to crime control while focusing on the identication, analysis, and management of persisting and developing problems. ILP implementation results in better allocation of resources, saving money, crime prevention rather than reaction, and use of technology and well-dened business processes.

The CICC believes that the Criminal Intelligence Resources Guide will be a valuable asset to law enforcement agencies that engage in ILP by providing them with a single document of well-organized products and resources that benet the intelligence community and the institutionalization of ILP.

Analysts Analyst Toolbox http://it.ojp.gov/docdownloader.aspx?ddid=1284 Provides intelligence analysts with information on the tools they need to effectively and efciently perform their duties and produce useful intelligence products. The tools examined in this document represent the basic toolbox that the intelligence analyst will need to provide the vital intelligence service expected in today’s law enforcement environment.

Common Competencies for State, Local, and Tribal Intelligence Analysts http://it.ojp.gov/docdownloader.aspx?ddid=1296 Identies common analytic competencies that should be exhibited by state, local, and tribal intelligence analysts working in state or major urban area fusion centers or similar analytic law enforcement entities. These competencies are essential for analysts to effectively perform their job duties and are required in their unique operating environments.

Law Enforcement Analyst Certification Standards http://it.ojp.gov/documents/law_enforcement_analyst _certification_standards.pdf Assists in instituting standards for the intelligence analysis process to ensure that intelligence products are accurate, timely, factual, and relevant, while also recommending implementation of policy and/or action(s). The certication standards incorporate the Law Enforcement Analytic Standards, developed by the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts (IALEIA) with support from the Global Intelligence Working Group (GIWG). This booklet contains 25 recommended analytic standards. The rst 7 standards relate to analysts or those who ll the analytic function. These standards refer to education, training, professionalism, and certication. The remaining standards relate to analytical products and processes.

Technology


Defining Fusion Center Technology Business Processes: A Tool for Planning http://it.ojp.gov/docdownloader.aspx?ddid=1118 Provides a tool to fusion center directors/managers to assist with understanding and implementing the fundamental business requirements of their centers and planning the underlying components for each of the business processes a particular fusion center is or will be undertaking (e.g., SAR process, training, statewide incident analysis). It is essential that each center fully dene its business processes before attempting to purchase or develop technology to handle those processes. If processes are not clearly dened, the technology will drive the business processes rather than the business processes driving the technology.

Fusion Center Technology Guide http://it.ojp.gov/docdownloader.aspx?ddid=1283 Provides a methodology for fusion center directors and managers that can be used to facilitate technology planning and to provide a practical perspective on the value of technology as an enabler of the fusion center mission. Fusion center directors and managers can use the document to aid in the development and implementation of technology within their fusion centers to achieve their missions.

Fusion Center Technology Resources Road Map http://it.ojp.gov/documents/Fusion_Center _Resources_Road_Map.pdf Provides fusion center leaders—in particular, senior technology managers—with guidance on how information, technology infrastructure, applications, performance metrics, and business processes align with the core business capabilities of a fusion center. Leaders can use this document to assist in formulating a strategic technology vision and plan for their centers and to support sound investment and technology selection decisions within such a plan.
