Multiagency Course
The Multiagency Course was created in 1997 through the cooperative
efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement
Administration, National Guard Bureau, U.S. Customs Service, Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network, and National Drug Intelligence Center.
The National Drug Intelligence Center funds and coordinates the
course.
Who Should Attend
Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement personnel (including
active duty military and National Guard) who are able to attend
all training sessions, are willing to participate, and have a strong
desire to learn about basic drug intelligence analysis should attend.
The course is open to U.S. law enforcement personnel only.
Why Should I Attend the Multiagency
Course?
September 11th has reaffirmed that communication, cooperation,
and information sharing within and among agencies are of paramount
importance. During the Multiagency Course you will have the opportunity
to network with intelligence analysts and law enforcement officers
from your own area and from across the country. You will discuss
local drug trends with other participants and acquire insight into
what is being seen in other parts of the country. Law enforcement
officers will learn what analysts can do for them. Analysts will
learn what law enforcement officers need. You will receive contact
information for participants from all sites so you can develop cooperative
relationships.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to learn from and
interact with subject matter experts from federal agencies. We will
provide contact information for all instructors in case you have
questions after the class.
During the course week, you will be exposed to a broad spectrum
of drug and intelligence topics and skills. This broad exposure
will get you started in drug intelligence analysis and will help
you identify the areas where you need more in-depth training.
