The Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC) and Global Intelligence Working Group (GIWG)
Resources: CICC/GIWG Products & Publications CICC/GIWG Meeting Minutes
The Global Intelligence Working Group (GIWG) is composed of state, local, tribal, and federal justice, homeland security, and public safety representatives. It serves as a research partner to the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC), drawing on source experts from outside the working group as needed. The Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC), established in May 2004, provides recommendations in connection with the implementation and refinement of the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan (NCISP). The NCISP, developed by Global's Intelligence Working Group, was completed in 2003 and contains 28 recommendations and action items that provide a blueprint to help agencies establish criminal intelligence sharing policies, procedures, standards, technologies, and training. The NCISP has served as the foundation for numerous nationwide initiatives, including the development of guidelines for fusion centers, the development of minimum criminal intelligence training standards, and the development of law enforcement analytic standards. The CICC is made up of members representing law enforcement and homeland security agencies from all levels of government and is an advocate for state, local, and tribal law enforcement and their efforts to develop and share criminal intelligence for the purpose of promoting public safety and securing the nation. The CICC operates at the policy level -- setting priorities, directing research, and preparing advisory recommendations. The efforts of the CICC and GIWG focus on: Assisting the U.S. Department of Justice in ensuring that every chief, sheriff, and law enforcement executive understands his or her agency's role in developing and sharing information and intelligence. Providing input to the federal government in its efforts to develop and share criminal intelligence. Recommending a framework for implementing and ensuring the longevity of the standards-based intelligence plan, training and technology coordination, outreach and education, and resource coordination. Advising the U.S. Attorney General on the best use of criminal intelligence to keep the nation safe. CICC and GIWG routinely collaborate with the nation's premier law enforcement, justice, and homeland security agencies and organizations. This collaboration has resulted in the development of valuable products for law enforcement to use in their daily crime-fighting efforts.
