The
Police Executive Fellowship Program (PEFP) is a six-month program
which offers an opportunity for state, local, tribal, and campus
law enforcement executives to provide their expertise in areas
that will mutually improve information and intelligence sharing
within the law enforcement community.
The PEFP involves the selection of management-level law enforcement
officials to work at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., to contribute
expertise and to provide a local perspective to national and international
law enforcement issues.
Some of the FBI components that participate in the program include
the Directorate of Intelligence, the Office of International Operations,
and the Criminal, Cyber, and Counterterrorism Divisions. Each fellow’s
skills and experience will be considered for placement in programs,
including but not limited to:
Counterterrorism Division (CTD)
The CTD prevents, disrupts, and defeats terrorist operations before
they occur; pursues the arrest and prosecution of those who have
conducted, aided, and abetted those engaged in terrorist attacks;
and provides crisis management following acts of terrorism against
U.S. interests.

The National Joint Terrorism Task Force
(NJTTF) operates a multi-agency task force at FBI Headquarters consisting
of personnel from the
intelligence, law enforcement, defense, diplomatic, public
safety, and homeland security communities. The NJTTF serves as a
point
of fusion for multi-agency collaboration and effective sharing
of terrorism intelligence between the participating agencies
nationwide.

The Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) operates a
24/7 call center to assist law enforcement and intelligence
agencies and other government
authorities. Operations specialists at the call center
work with callers to determine whether the person encountered
is a positive
or negative identity match to a known or appropriately
suspected terrorist watch listed by the TSC.
Directorate of Intelligence (DI) The Directorate of Intelligence has clear authority and responsibility
for all FBI intelligence functions, including information sharing
policy. The DI carries out its functions through embedded intelligence
elements at FBI Headquarters and in each field division.

the development, oversight, and administrative support of the Field
Intelligence
Groups (FIGs) in all 56 Field Offices. The FOU serves
as a coordinating mechanism between the field and the Directorate
of Intelligence
to ensure each FIG operates in accordance with the
approved Concepts of Operations governing the FBI’s Intelligence
Program. It establishes and maintains performance standards for field
office
intelligence operations and works with the Inspection
Division regarding inspection standards of review.

databases for law enforcement, and operational police support

of gangs that pose
a significant threat to communities throughout
the United States.
