The surroundings of Counterintelligence (CI) duties requires that CI Special Agents hold the highest levels of proficiency, maturity, moral values, and honorable intelligibility. All newly graduates from Counterintelligence Special Agent Course (CISAC) will be part of the Counterintelligence Probationary Program (CIPP) in the accordance with AR 381-20. The CIPP is an evaluation and mentoring program that allows Evaluating Agent (EA) to employ the CI Probationary Agent (PA) in a manner that allows growth in development. The PAs are retained in the 35L military occupational specialty upon completion of the CIPP. The real question that lingers in every PA’s mind is; how does the evaluation process take place?
The overall agenda of CIPP seems

For an example, if a PA assigned to a field office, he or she will probably never get an opportunity to fulfill the collection portion of the CIPP. To fulfill this particular requirement, EAs will use a scenario based discussion to provide in depth explanation and ensure the PAs get a good grasp of that particular task. Nevertheless, there are discussions among the PAs to indicate this is not the case during their evaluation process. EAs use this opportunity to extend the PA’s evaluation period until every task in the CIPP is executed, which is another way to muddle the evaluation …show more content…
An added on job experience will definitely benefit the PAs to understand what they will encounter upon graduating the school. Equally, the PAs will get the opportunity to gain additional experience related to CI as well as gain contacts prior to fully submerging themselves as a Special Agent. The recommended period of the on the job training should be no less than twelve months to ensure full expose to overall CI concepts. The initial on the job training will provide the basics, understanding the workflow, build a proper characteristic, and finally able to grasp overall job requirements. In a similar way, the PAs can test the water and allow the EAs to evaluate the future Special Agents. The EAs can set clear expectations, provide feedback, and document the development of the PAs throughout the process. Subsequently, this introductory period can serve as an option for the PAs to decide if CI is a field for them to venture or should they pursue something
How secure and safe does your neighborhood seem? That is a question most ask themselves when moving or living in a specific geographical location. People with young children are assumed to worry the most because they cannot always keep a steady look out for them. CompSTAT is a policing model that most police departments use more often than none. CompSTAT is short for computer statistics. It is used as a technique to try to prevent or reduce crime from happening. This is when neighbor or citizens that reside in a specific location report worries or crimes where
In the beginning, Jenkins explores the sources of the CIA’s decision to participate with Hollywood from the 1990s and forward. The main reason is a want to counter its essentially negative portrayal in Hollywood programs. The first Chapter summarizes this image by showing how CIA agents have always been interpreted as assassins, dishonest leaders, unprotected by their hierarchy, morally bankrupt, and ineffective. Jenkins asserts nonetheless that other reasons were just as if not more conclusive: ‘...
The Ugly American was written in 1958 and was meant to be an indictment on the U.S. government’s failures in foreign policy. The book provides valuable lessons that we can learn from today as special operators. I will use several stories and characters in this book and my own personal stories to explore if the Special Operatives (SO) Imperatives were applied and analyze if we as Special Operations Forces (SOF) are applying them well today. We, as SOF, should never be afraid of learning new principals or examining principals from the past to see if they are applicable. The Ugly American is a good example of a work from the past, even though it is fiction, which we can learn from today.
The RAND Criminal Investigation Study conducted in the 1970's resulted in that detective and investigative work was basically time consuming and wasteful. The results were that patrol officers could resolve a case and that investigators or detectives were puppets of the district attorney (Hoover, 2014). The RAND Study resulted in that a responding patrol officer could gather factual findings and solve a case, regardless of the nature or severity of it.
MacWhite arrived in Sarkhan well versed on the customs, language, and threats faced by the country; this aided him in everything that followed through his tour. Understanding the operational environment is critical in the proper application of all other Special Operations Imperatives. Failure to understand the environment may increase the possibility of applying other imperatives erroneously. By understanding the latter, MacWhite was able to face successfully the challenges through his time as Ambassador to Sarkhan.
You have to train so that they know you qualify for the job. You have to be in shape and know how to act in different situations. The agents receive classroom and Web-based instruction in subjects including law, investigative practices, forensics, behavioral science, and ethics. To get an experience of what it will be like, they will have you practice and act out common scenarios. The trainees will conduct a mock-investigation where they will interview suspects, find evidence, and provide testimony in court. The new agents will also receive proper training in firearms, defensive techniques, working undercover, tactical driving, and
This piece serves to describe acquired PL499 course concepts and their relevance to my project team and the West Point Leader Development System (WPLDS).... ... middle of paper ... ... Even though the external consequences of breaking trust (perhaps by not completing my interviews on time like I said I would) are not as severe as breaking trust in combat, establishing the pattern at West Point that it is acceptable to fall short on commitments when they are “not important” is a terrible habit.
I used to hang out with a group of so called friends; who were on probation constantly, and most of the crime my friends committed was theft, drugs and drinking alcohol. They would steal the expensive smoking pipe from the tattoo place without care if anyone is watching them. Being around with them, I started to develop the habit of stealing. I had caught once by the police, and they gave me a warning, since the item that I stole weren’t valuable and weren’t expensive. After my friends arresting, they went through the probation process where the officer interviewed them about the crime, school attendance, and living situation, and other topics. They also interviewed the officer who arrested them, the victim, and the parents of the child. My
These areas are the main focus of initial training. The introduction of this has encouraged greater multi-agency working and closer collaboration with other settings.
The needed change in ASI’s training program will provide for several adjustments within the workplace. The changes associated with implementing the new training process will affect other aspects of ASI and impact employees. Firstly, reporting will change as a sponsor will report on the new hire and the new hire will likewise report the experience they had will their sponsor. Both will report to management so management may review both as completely as possible. The sponsor will be able to give more in general and more immediate feedback. This will be added to sponsors listing of duties as well as the reaction of the new hire. This will better benefit the sponsor and trainee as the sponsor can affectively teach and the trainee can learn in real time instead of going over something months later with a random co-worker.
In our nation today, the major role of the CIA is shaping American foreign policy. Employees of the Central I...

Accepting challenges is what sets us apart and continues to ensure that we grow as Soldiers, Leaders, and Non-Commissioned Officers. The Sergeant Audie Murphy Club induction process is rigorous, and because of the rigorous amount of preparation that it takes to earn it, I will become a more knowledgeable NCO, while also allowing room to realize what my weaknesses are in order to improve in those areas.

Even from the start, when they helped capture the man who was going to rape the women, his fellow officers always believed that he would get the job done because he had done so in the past and was considered one of the best. He was able to use both personal and professional acumen to reach his desired outcome. It is important to have the human and professional element in our negotiations, this makes us more relatable.
