Major Highlights Change in Mindset –Everyday is September 12 th Doubled the number of SAs working CT Increased number of JTTFs and personnel assigned –Blurred the line between Task Force Office and Agent on JTTF Created Specialized units to investigate and address Terrorism Financing, WMDs, Cyber attacks Increased investigative resources deployed abroad –Tactical Teams serving with military –Bomb Techs –Evidence Response –Intelligence Analysts

Major Highlights Complete overhaul of Intelligence capability and resources –Field Intelligence Groups Collect and analyze raw intel –Threat vs Cases –Resource prioritization based on threat to domain Pre-9/11 court rules and internal procedures barred agents from sharing information with intel community –Today we are sharing by rule (Patriot Act) and withholding by exception (Need to Know)

Major Highlights Greater use of community resources –Community outreach –Business Outreach (DSAC, InfraGard) –Media –Tripwires

Summary Joint investigations Shared investigative resources –Agents/TFOs Shared intelligence –Quality analytical resources Shared responsibility –We all win together or we all lose
