The new semi-annual program reviews will be used in several ways. Field office and program managers will use them to assess their performance and to identrfy the strengths and weaknesses of their programs so that they can institute improvements. Program managers at Headquarters will examine the results of these reviews, identify national or individual field office performance issues, and recommend corrective action as needed The Inspection Division will analyze the semi-annual reviews in preparation for regularly scheduled inspections. The Inspection Division also will use the reviews to determine if there are any performance anomalies that may require an unscheduled inspection. Similarly, we modified the inspection criteria for field offices to include performance metrics for their intelligence programs The intelligence components. in each field office will be monitored to ensure that mtelligence information is managed and.disseminated quickly and in. a format for use by other members of the Intelligence Cornmunity. Special Agent Evaluations Special Agents currently are evaluated according to specified performance criteria related to eight "critical elements.” These elements provide guidance and define the activities we expect an agent to undertake and master. On March 22, 2004, the Director approved a proposal to revise the evaluation criteria for all Special Agents to emphasize intelligence objectives. The proposal would create a new Critical Element 7, “Intelligence Collection and. Reporting,” to require that each agent demonstrate and effectively apply knowledge, authorities and mandates governing intelligence functions. We also propose revising Critical Element 8, “Developing an Intelligence Base,” to ensure that agents effectively cultivate and explor intelligence sources. Proposed Critical Element 7: Intelligence Collection and Reporting * Demonstrates and independently applies effective knowledge of authorities and mandates governing the intelligence functions of the FB! * Demonstrates and independently applies. broad knowledge and awareness of the needs of FBI intelligence customers and partners in other federal law enforcement agencies; the state, local, and tribal law enforcement cormmuntties; the U.S. Intelligence Community; and/or friendly foreign services, and serves these needs effectively. « Independenily collects intelligence of value in accordance with prevailing sets of intelligence requirements, using ail appropriate investigative and intelligence collection techniques * Independently ensures that collected raw intelligence is reported in accordance with established guidelines to relevant customers, both internally and externally, through all appropriate means, to include effective interaction with the Field Intelligence Group. * Independently ensures that intelligence analysts receive all reievant collected intelligence to effectively support the FBI's intelligence analysis and production responsibilities. Proposed Critical Element 8: Developing an Intelligence Base - independently identifies and effectively operates human sources in accordance with prevailing sets of intelligence requirements, and makes sound judgments regarding the. value of their contributions.
