About This Workshop

The Collecting and Processing Intelligence Information Workshop will teach you the responsibility, restrictions and protection issues which face most first responder professionals when handling US intelligence information. It will define critical sources and methods in the collection of intelligence, how intelligence is processed and will delve into the vetting process and target analysis. You will learn about the intelligence loop and how it can be used to benefit law enforcement efforts and protect us against terrorist attacks.

The workshop will look at the US Intelligence Community, who they are, define their missions and how they contribute to the overall effort of support to law enforcement for criminal, drugs, fraud, antiterrorism and counter terrorism. Levels of information classification will be defined and the requirements necessary to obtain the various levels of security clearances in the Department of Defense and the US Intelligence Community will be explained. US Senate and House of Representatives intelligence oversight and how it affects intelligence dissemination will be discussed.

The various degrees of protection required for different levels of intelligence will be discussed as well as the preferred ways of controlling intelligence information. The proper use of information which is unclassified but sensitive, law enforcement sensitive information, for official use only information and confidential source information will be discussed. Various sources of intelligence information will be provided and attendees will participate in exercises to test their understanding of the subjects presented. Most important of all, you’ll leave this seminar with the information to provide an understanding of how intelligence information fits into modern law enforcement.
