Multiagency Course
The Multiagency Course was created in 1997 through the cooperative
efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement
Administration, National Guard Bureau, U.S. Customs Service,
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and National Drug Intelligence
Center. The National Drug Intelligence Center funds and coordinates
the course.
Who Should Attend
Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement personnel (including
active duty military and National Guard) who are able to attend
all training sessions, are willing to participate, and have
a strong desire to learn about basic drug intelligence analysis
should attend. The course is open to U.S. law enforcement
personnel only.
Why Should I Attend the Multiagency
Course?
September 11th has reaffirmed that communication, cooperation,
and information sharing within and among agencies are of paramount
importance. During the Multiagency Course you will have the
opportunity to network with intelligence analysts and law enforcement
officers from your own area and from across the country. You
will discuss local drug trends with other participants and acquire
insight into what is being seen in other parts of the country.
Law enforcement officers will learn what analysts can do for
them. Analysts will learn what law enforcement officers need.
You will receive contact information for participants from all
sites so you can develop cooperative relationships.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to learn from and
interact with subject matter experts from federal agencies.
We will provide contact information for all instructors in case
you have questions after the class.
During the course week, you will be exposed to a broad spectrum
of drug and intelligence topics and skills. This broad exposure
will get you started in drug intelligence analysis and will
help you identify the areas where you need more in-depth training.
