NDIC's Document Exploitation Division Receives
Professional Service Award from the International Association of Law
Enforcement Intelligence Analysts (IALEIA)
The International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence
Analysts (IALEIA) awarded NDIC's Document and Computer Exploitation
Division with a Professional Service Award at their annual training
conference held in Sacramento, CA on April 29, 2004 for their
outstanding work using the Document Exploitation methodology and
Real-time Analytical Intelligence Database (RAID) to assist in federal
drug investigations. IALEIA, the International Association of Law
Enforcement Intelligence Analysts, has been in existence since 1980 and
has approximately 2,000 members worldwide. The purpose of IALEIA is to
advance high standards of professionalism in law enforcement
intelligence analysis at the local, state/provincial, national and
international levels.
NDIC was selected for the award as part of a highly competitive
process to recognize the outstanding use of intelligence analytical
techniques. The award was presented to the organization making the most
significant progress utilizing intelligence analytical techniques to
support law enforcement objectives. The Document Exploitation
methodology has been used to assist law enforcement in more than 400
critical, high-profile investigations involving drug trafficking and
criminal activity in the United States.
NDIC's DocEx Division supports major federal drug investigations
primarily in the United States. In many cases, they provide
investigators with key information and help them organize their evidence
to prepare for prosecution. To assist with the processing of evidence,
NDIC has developed a unique computer software known as RAID. This
software, along with our Document Exploitation methodology, helps us to
assist investigators to sort through sometimes hundreds of boxes of
evidence and run queries to help find new leads in about a week's
time.
On a typical mission, NDIC deploys between 10-20 analysts to the
field site chosen by investigators. A lead analyst from NDIC coordinates
with personnel from the requesting agency to identify Priority
Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) of the case. At the end of the week, we
provide a detailed briefing and comprehensive report of findings,
including supporting graphs and charts, to the requesting agency. For
additional information about the RAID software, send an e-mail to
NDIC.RAID@usdoj.gov.
