And
if you want to know more, here are the details:
Why
was the PEFP launched?
Shortly
after the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, Director Mueller
recognized the need to include state and local law
enforcement in the vast interagency team being assembled
at FBI Headquarters to coordinate the 24/7 campaign
to prevent future terrorist attacks. He asked Assistant
Director Louis Quijas, hired in April 2002 to strengthen
the Bureau's relationships with law enforcement, to
make it happen.
Who
has served and when and where have they worked?
- Detective
Richard J. Cline, Fairfax County, Virginia, Police
Department, and Detective Joseph Morrash, Alexandria,
Virginia, Police Department
- Served on the FBI-led National Joint Terrorism Task Force (NJTTF) at FBI
Headquarters from October 2002 to April 2003
- Captain
Diane J. Mozzicato, Kansas City, Missouri, Police
Department
- Served on the NJTTF from August 2003 to February 2004
- Lieutenant
Robert V. Fox, Los Angeles, California, Police
Department
- Served in the FBI's Office of Intelligence from September 2003 to March
2004
- Here
now are:
- Lieutenant Scott M. Savage, San Jose, California, Police Department, serving
on the NJTTF.
- Detective Leonard J. Nerbetski, New Jersey State Police, working in the
FBI's Law Enforcement On-line (LEO) Unit in the Criminal Justice Information
Services Division.
- Inspector Gregory A. Plummer, Detroit, Michigan, Police Department, currently
serving the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance
- Coming
in June are:
- Lieutenant Robert "Keith" Corley, Monroe County Sheriff's Office,
Forsyth, Georgia.
- Lieutenant Amy Lynn Clymer, Grand Junction, Colorado, Police Department.
What's
the benefit?
- For
police executives: Direct access to critical
FBI information. First-hand knowledge of how
the Bureau works, which they carry back to their
agencies.
- For
the FBI: Fresh insights. A greater sense
of what state/local law enforcement need from
us and the skills, talents, and perspectives
they bring to the table.
- For
both sides: Real operational improvements
that benefit the entire law enforcement community.
Example: Detectives Cline and Morrash, both experienced
JTTF members, developed and designed a Terrorism
Quick Reference Card that helps law enforcement
officers spot the warning signs of potential
terrorist threats. Executive Fellows also helped
fine-tune intelligence sharing methodologies
and develop a National Alert System for law enforcement
executives.
- For
the nation: A more coordinated approach to
protecting the homeland, so vital in this age
of global, networked, and technologically sophisticated
terrorist and criminal organizations.
