T C.1: Information Dissemination

Improve the speed of access to and dissemination of information collected through data and telecommunications intercepts.

Other Information:

The FBI must enhance its collective capacity to expeditiously identify, understand, and take appropriate action to counteract crime problems and threats against the United States. In the furtherance of these efforts, the FBI will develop and implement tools that enable investigators and analysts to triage collected data, permitting them to crystallize actionable intelligence obtained from an ocean of collected information. In this regard, the Investigative Technology Division has developed and deployed a system to monitor, minimize, exploit and disseminate over the FBI’s TRILOGY network the product of lawful ELSUR operations in a collaborative user environment. This initial capacity will be expanded through the development and implementation of an integrated capability that enables FBI users, as well as our partners in the Intelligence Community, to process, view, analyze, and disseminate all digital evidence collected pursuant to a lawfully-authorized seizure or intercept order. Upon implementation, the Electronic Surveillance Data Management System (EDMS) will provide an enterprise web-based collection management and information retrieval capability for all FBI field offices. EDMS will automate the capability to prepare reports, locally conduct investigative analysis, and provide users with analytical tools for automated speaker identification, text key word spotting, voice key word spotting, and language identification. Priority Actions: Implement EDMS as means to establish a common user interface that will enable appropriate personnel to have enterprise-wide access to collected data, as well as the capacity to engage in remote collaborative and intelligence sharing activities. Research and implement analytic tools which will assist in the prioritization of collected material. As authorized by pertinent laws and guidelines, support joint exploitation of collected information by establishing an architecture for sharing collected data, comments, and analysis.
