Intelligence Analyst Training Program (IATP)

Up one level

The Counter Terrorism Division (CTD) of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), Glynco, Georgia, is home to the Intelligence Analyst Training Program (IATP). CTD is responsible for the training of intelligence analysts and intelligence associated personnel from Partner Organizations. The program is open to military, state, and local law enforcement intelligence personnel on a space available basis.

The 76 hour program provides a historical, legal, and conceptual basis for criminal/law enforcement intelligence. The beginning of the program establishes a firm historical, legal and ethical basis. IATP contains a practical exercise devoted to critical thinking concepts and the three components of analysis. IATP is designed around the intelligence process/cycle through the creation of requirements as the basis of an intelligence plan, devoted to the Planning and Direction phase, followed by the collection and documentation of information with the Collection Phase. IATP then transitions into the phases of processing and exploitation, analysis, dissemination and re-evaluation as the baseline process for transitioning information into intelligence. The program is structured around the Intelligence Cycle, identifying functions the analyst /research specialist is involved with during each phase. The IATP is conducted in a student centered learning environment, guided by subject matter experts in various fields.

The student is evaluated on the basic concepts of analysis, presentation skills, and writing abilities. The final practical exercise is devoted towards bringing together all teaching points, combining the fundamentals of analysis with a law enforcement problem area. This practical exercise culminates with the submission of both a report and presentation of a briefing of the student's findings to the class, instructors, and interested FLETC staff.

Type: Advanced

Length: The training program encompasses 9.5 days (76 hours).
