Counterintelligence supervisors work for various government agencies performing different duties. They interface with business staff and program management to share intelligence, protect public assets, design security measures and enforce federal security directives. They coordinate with government agencies to follow rulings, obtain interpretations and solicit permission for counterattacks. For example, they may prepare security plans,

They use a variety of teaching and learning strategies to measure student performance and achievement. Due to the sensitive and critical nature of counterintelligence, these trainers must implement challenging learning objectives that use qualitative and quantitative performance metrics. They may design and create multimedia materials, recommend textbooks, develop practical exercise scenarios and lead training events, seminars and workshops.
They must be able to draw upon their personal experience to illustrate course material, actualize realistic experiences and extend the classroom experience beyond academic limitations. Counterintelligence trainers should always develop new approaches, exercise techniques and practical scenarios that reflect changing threats and needs. For instance, they may create a realistic scenario that requires students to elicit target information from uncooperative subjects. Video recording the activity will help students understand their weaknesses, recognize red flags and better interpret body
In order to transform a local police agency into an intelligence-led organization, they go through several steps. The first, after strict training and funding is to task and coordination processes. The second is to make and develop the intelligence products to be used in the operations. Next is to begin the use of standardized training for all the people to be involved. Since some local agencies cannot afford to train every employee in this...
“President Bush has stated that about a hundred detainees were held under the Central Intelligence Agency secret detention program, about a third of whom were questioned using “enhanced interrogation techniques. The CIA has a way of very publicly blowing their cover seeming to pop up wherever turmoil, and political problems arise. The CIA exists to prevent threats, its operations involve covert actions or spying through various means to gather critical intelligence data. The CIA dates back to 1947. The qualifications and skills are above average. The job of the CIA is to anticipate and quickly assess rapidly evolving international developments and their impact, both positive and negative, on US policy concerns. When researching the career of
J. Edgar Hoover began a new phase of a counterintelligence program in August of 1967 known as COINTELPRO. The purpose of this particular program, according to Hoover, who was the Director of the FBI, was to expose and disrupt the activities of black nationalists, hate organizations or groups. Hoover obsessively used the vast resources of the FBI against black groups across the political spectrum, from the NAACP to the Black Panther Party. His justification was that African Americans who objected to segregation were communists. Given Hoover’s well documented antipathy towards black people, which was typical of a white conservative man with southern upbringing, his motivation was simply racism. The Black Panther Party was not originally on Hoover’s “Black Nationalist-Hate Group” list, but organizations such as SCLC, SNCC and the Nation of Islam were included. But the Black Panther Party became the primary focus of the program where they were the target of 233
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?
All over the world, countries have created a type of secret police. The international term secret police can always be applied whether it is the United States CIA or Britain's MI6. As for Russia the name of their secret police was Cheka. The secret police, Cheka, was the Bolsheviks security force formed in 1917 by Vladimir Lenin. The purpose of this force was to carry out arrest, detentions, and executions without process of law. Cheka regularly used violence and torture publicly or privately to prove a point to others with mere thoughts of going against the soviet regime. Cheka was basically a military and security system of the Bolshevik communist government.
The CIA is pretty important to this country, yet some people don’t know what it does. The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) is a government agency that as Wikipedia says, “tasked with gathering, processing and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT).” They don’t work much with domestic like the FBI; they do most of their work overseas. It has different divisions such as Analysis, Operations, Support, and Science and Technology (Wikipedia."Central Intelligence Agency"). They have had successful operations for instance locating Osama Bin Laden and arrest of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (Monroe et al.). There also some secret operations that have occurred, such as Operation CHAOS, Phoenix Program, and Muammar al-Qaddafi to name a few (Jason). When people find out about these operations it causes them to question events in history that
In 1949, the Central Inteligence Agency Act (also called "Public Law 110") was passed, permitting the agency to use confidential fiscal and administrative procedures and exempting it from many of the usual limitations on the use of federal funds. The act also exempted the CIA from having to disclose its "organization, functions, officials, titles, salaries, or numbers of personnel employed." It also created a program called "PL-110" to handle defectors and other "essential aliens" outside normal immigration procedures, as well as give those persons cover stories and economic support. The Central Intelligence Agency reports to U.S. Congressional committees but also answers to the President directly. The National Security Advisor is a permanent cabinet member responsible for briefing the President on pertinent information collected from all U.S. intelligence agenci...
In this week’s assignment we will be looking at a number of significant issues that are or have confronted the intelligence community in a post 9-11 environment. We will quickly touch on the role the Global War on Terrorism has had on changes to the intelligence community’s position, procedures, and policies along with assessing how the intelligence community has directed it efforts when it comes to dealing with traditional military threats from other countries. It is inarguable that for the large majority of times, change is instituted to make a situation better, or to prevent a bad situation from arising. So too can be said about the countless changes in policy and practices that have affected the intelligence community since 9-11. Retrospectively assessing a few of these polices it can become difficult to see in its totality if they have helped the intelligence community or in a way weakened it.
Furthermore, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) can conduct counterterrorism activities that appear unconventional. However, many of their
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, also know as the FBI is an interesting topic. The FBI is the “principal investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice”, also known as DOJ. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is responsible in collecting facts and giving or writing reports that one has either perceived, investigated or observed. As well as, assembling evidence in cases that involve Federal jurisdiction and assembling evidence. Not to mention, it bestows law enforcement leadership and reinforcement to international and state law enforcement agencies, which enforce the law.
This paper explores the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) role as it pertains to military readiness. The emphasis of military readiness is clearly considered by senior military leadership as the top priority. There is a direct relationship between crime prevention and military readiness. Crime prevention techniques used by CID are explored here as they relate to the military’s ability to complete the mission. These tools and techniques should always be evolving in the ever expanding role and responsibility placed on CID pertaining to crime prevention in the military.
The Central Intelligence Agency is the President’s independent foreign intelligence arm, responsible to him through the Director of National Intelligence and the National Security Council, and accountable to the people of the United States by interaction with the intelligence oversight committees of Congress. The CIA has many duties within those boundaries and performs a variety of functions through many forms of intelligence. They employ people from all backgrounds of academic study, from linguists to economists, along with people from varied ethnic backgrounds to work as specialists. It is a large agency with many responsibilities, but most importantly they perform critical work for the President regarding international intelligence.
In the United States the CIA or the Central Intelligence Agency is the main agency for gathering secret information and responsible for operations outside the United States. The FBI or Federal Bureau of Investigation has the primary responsibility for counterespionage activities within the United States. Counterespionage is when a country or an organization captures a hostile spy and turns them into a so-called “double agent” who sends false information to their own organization. It prevents other nations from gaining such information. Under international law, these activities are not illegal, but individual nations have laws against spying. However, spies are not considered with common or uncommon criminals. They are neither sinners nor international lawbreakers. If spies are caught they are either send back to their country, sent to jail or used as counterespionage (double agents).

“And just like that, my life became interesting.”(pg. 1) Spy School, by Stuart Gibbs, was an amazing book. It talks about the theme of always believing in yourself, and never give up. It shares a really good message and I learned more about the life and hard work of secret agents.
