The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an independent US Government
agency responsible for providing national security intelligence to
senior US policymakers.
At the CIA, we provide finished intelligence to policymakers for decisions of national importance. Our analysts are skilled subject-matter experts who study and evaluate information from many sources. From this information, they develop useable and meaningful intelligence assessments for the highest levels of government. CIA analysts monitor and assess foreign political developments, leadership, economic issues, military threats and science and technology.
