Governance Boards FAQ
What is the purpose of the RCFL Governance Boards?
The Governance Boards provide expert advice, ideas, and diverse opinions to senior FBI officials about their policies and practices governing computer forensics and the RCFL Program.
What do the Governance Boards look like?
There are two types of RCFL Governance Boards:
- National Steering Committee - Composed of representatives of national law enforcement organizations, academia and other federal agency representatives who advise the FBI on overarching policy issues as they pertain to computer forensics and RCFLs.
- Local Executive Boards (one per RCFL) - Composed of participating agencies within the RCFL who provide operational guidance and oversight.
How often will the Boards meet?
The NSC convenes bi-annually, while the Local Executive Boards have the authority to meet as often as they deem necessary.
What is the difference between the national board and the local boards?
The local boards oversee the activities of their respective RCFL, and in that capacity, they can review any policy, procedure, practice and/or rule affecting the day-to-day operations of the RCFL. The national board advises on policy and/or technical issues as they apply to computer forensics and the RCFL program in general. The local boards do have the prerogative however, to refer local issues that have the potential to impact the entire RCFL program, to the National Program Office for action.
