A.4: Information Sharing and Support

Support internal and external intelligence customers and partners with corporate information sharing and appropriate support strategies.

Other Information:

The FBI is the nation’s foremost collector of terrorism, counterintelligence, cyber, and criminal activity information. Historically, the challenge has been to share this information effectively within and outside the FBI. The Office of Intelligence serves as the FBI’s primary interface for the dissemination and receipt of intelligence information with the Intelligence Community, Law Enforcement Community, and national and international government agencies. It is charged with establishing systems to ensure timely sharing of intelligence information in a useful format across program lines. It also has final review authority over intelligence products to be disseminated outside the FBI. Dissemination is performed at FBI Headquarters and field offices. Tasks and requests to satisfy intelligence requirements will clearly identify customers who should receive products so that intelligence is disseminated horizontally, as well as vertically. Priority Actions: Effectively share FBI data internally and externally; share by rule, and hold back by exception, with appropriate use and dissemination. Create an identifiable FBI intelligence brand that is rooted in quality, timeliness, responsiveness, and consistency through both customer support plans and ongoing assessment of customer satisfaction. Facilitate the management of partnership relations by presenting a coherent picture of the FBI Intelligence Program to partners in the Intelligence and Law Enforcement Communities.
