FOUNDATIONS OF INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS TRAINING

IALEIA, in cooperation with the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit (LEIU), conducts a basic analytic course for new law enforcement analysts called Foundations of Intelligence Analysis Training (FIAT). This course is taught by law enforcement professionals experienced in analysis, and has received rave reviews from attendees. The course is taught on demand, and has been approved for the use of Department of Homeland Security grant funds (if authorized by the state authority controlling these funds). For more information, please contact Tom Nowak, FIAT Program Manager, at nowak@ialeia.org
