Office of Law Enforcement Coordination We established the Office of Law Enforcement Coordination (OLEC) in the spring of 2002 to strengthen relationships between the FBI, state and municipal law enforcement, and other federal law enforcement agencies The OLEC works closely with law enforcement groups such as the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Fraternal Order of Police, provides a voice for these groups within the Bureau, and gives them a place at the decision making table when law enforcement and prevention strategies are being developed. We selected a former Chief of Police to be Assistant Directar in charge of OLEC and located him in an office near the Director The Assistant Director has decades of experience in law enforcement and has earned a reputation for building bridges within the law enforcement community. He has developed a number of initiatives to enhance coordination through his Office, including: Director's Law Enforcement Advisory Group (DLEAG) The DLEAG, comprised of the heads of the national law enforcement organizations, meets regularly with senior FBI executives to. provide input on various issues of common concern issues discussed at recent meetings include: 1) the issuance of Homeland Security “alerts” and the impact on state and local agencies when threat advisory levels are raised; 2) the FBI's investigative priorities; 3) state and local law enforcement counterterrorism needs; 4) ways to enhance communication within law enforcement; and 5) recommended improvements of the training at the National Academy. FBI Police Executive Fellowship Program (EFP) In 2002, OLEC started the EFP to give high-ranking state and local law enforcement managers an. opportunity to spend six months working in an FBI Headquarters program such as the NUTTF or the Office of Intelligence. The four officers who have participated to date have brought vital law enforcement perspectives to Headquarters and have made important contributions to our information and intelligence sharing efforts. Community Oriented Policing Training OLEC has worked closely with the Training and Development Division to revise the new agents training curricutum to incorporate Community Oriented Policing concepts. Agent trainees learn. that a high level of involvement with the community is expected and required if they are to succeed in their jobs. Terrorism Quick Reference Card (TQRC) One small, but practical, inttiative is our TQRC reference guide. The guide is designed to fit into the overhead visor of police vehicles and lists suspicious factors that may indicate ongoing terrorist activity, To date, 430,000 TQRCs have been distributed to state and municipal law enforcement officers. Terrorist Screening Center On September 16, 2003, the President directed the Attorney General, Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary of State, and. Director of Central Intelligence to develop the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) to consolidate information from terrorist watch lists and provide 24- hour, seven-days-a-week operational support for law enforcement. consular officers. and other officials. The FBi was directed to lead this effort and to begin operations by December 1, 2003. Thanks to significant contributions by all participating agencies, operations began ~— and continue to develop — on schedule. Tsc Doc. #5 39 000000378 ee har aa 8 one etd ans L
