Field Office Initiated Training— Counterterrorism training is being provided by individual field offices to state and local law enforcement personnel in their regions. Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Training— FBI personnel are providing training related to WMD at the DHS’s Center for Domestic Preparedness. Behavioral Analysis Unit The FBI has long provided the law enforcement community with behavioral analysis support and advice in a variety of investigative matters, such as child abduction cases and serial murders. We. are now lending similar expertise. and assistance in terrorism-related matters. In July 2003, we established a new behavioral assessment unit in the Critical Incident Response. Group at the National Center for Analysis of Violent Crime, to provide behavioral analysis: support on matters involving terrorism arid threatening communications, bombings, stalkings, arsons, and anticipated or active crisis situations |{t also provides training and identifies behaviorally focused anti-terrorism research projects to enhance operational, investigative and preventive measures. In addition, we established a Communicated Threat Assessment Database (CTAD) which, when populated with historical and current case information, will serve as the repository for all communicated threats submitted to the new unit for analysis and as a resource to help evaluate new threats. Currently, the CTAD contains approximately 1,000 communicated threats received for analysis. Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory Program The Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory (RCFL) Program is another ongoing initiative designed to enhance our working relationships with state and municipal police departments around the country. This program establishes laboratory facilities that conduct forensic examinations of digital media to support investigations and prosecutions. RCFLs aiso conduct training. In FY 2003, the four operational RCFLs conducted 68 separate classes and trained 1,432 law enforcement officers. RCFLs are operated jointly by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies operating within a geographic area. The FBI opened. new facilities in Chicago and Kansas City in 2003, and we have announced plans to establish five new RCFLs this year and three more in the near future, bringing the total number of FBI-sponsored RCFLs to 14.
