North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 197 Surveillance and counter-terrorism training

Most of Jimmy's courses have been completed, followed by the new training sessions arranged after 911/[-], surveillance and counter-terrorism.

After 911/[-], the focus of the FBI's work began to shift, and a great deal of power was transferred to anti-terrorism. The FBI began to learn the CIA's handling methods, collect intelligence in advance, and use the hundreds of millions of fingerprint databases and criminal files in the FBI laboratory. The archives are used to monitor the suspects suspected of terrorist attacks in advance, monitor their whereabouts and business, and prevent terrorist attacks from happening.

There is a vivid metaphor. Before 911/[-], the FBI was like a catcher in a baseball game. The pitcher catches the ball after throwing it. The CIA is like a pitcher. After collecting information, they take the initiative to strike first.

After 911/[-], the FBI changed its role and divided it into two. On the one hand, it did its job as a catcher, and on the other hand, it changed its role and entered the role of a pitcher. Suspects of terrorist attacks are investigated and apprehended.

In the FBI academy, Jimmy's trainees are also the first trainees to receive anti-terrorism training. The current training content is not perfect, mainly for intelligence analysis related content.

The FBI trainees invited relevant personnel from the FBI laboratory in Quantico to educate the trainees about the types and quantities of intelligence currently in the FBI system, as well as the people who need to focus on their work in the future, as well as some ways to obtain intelligence, and The content related to the cooperation of other institutions was basically not popularized to the students before, and would only be reported to the intelligence analysis department.

The FBI Laboratory is one of the divisions of the FBI's Science and Technology Directorate.The laboratory provides physical evidence identification services to FBI agencies, state and local law enforcement agencies free of charge. Yes, there is a key word here, free.

The functions of the FBI laboratory include on-site investigation, case inspection, court testimony and technical training. Currently, there are three departments.

Biometric Analysis (Biometric Analysis), fingerprint database, DNA verification related, all belong to this department.

Forensic Response, on-site inspection, ballistic detection, detection and analysis department of biological, chemical reagents and other radioactive or dangerous evidence, also provides photo and video identification, and has a special field department to provide on-site inspection services for other departments. Identification, recording and other services.

The Scientific Analysis Division (Scientific Analysis) analyzes the chemical and toxic components of substances, analyzes gunpowder residues and other gun marks, document handwriting identification, tire imprints and shoe prints analysis, etc. It also provides criminal activity code analysis, illegal business behavior analysis, etc.

In 2003, the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC) was added. This is suspected of grabbing business with the ATF, but it is obvious that the ATF cannot compete with the FBI.

For prospective agents like Jimmy, several observation-related trainings have been added, such as how to identify nervous people in public, analyze whether they are carrying dangerous items from the appearance and shape of clothes, and whether the suspect has repeatedly entered and exited public places, etc. Wait.

The other is how to deal with terrorist threats in large places, such as sports fields, large shopping malls, and office buildings, including evacuating people, checking dangerous points, and so on.

Now the FBI is already feeling a little crazy. According to the data provided by the FBI Academy, in the nearly half a year since 911/1, the FBI headquarters has dispatched at least 4/[-] of the agents and intelligence analysts from various places to be responsible for counter-terrorism-related content. Those involving chemistry, explosion, physics experts, etc., are all included in the surveillance plan.

For foreigners, especially immigrants from the Middle East, contacting the Immigration Bureau to conduct a large-scale investigation has triggered a lot of complaints and prosecutions against the FBI for violating citizens' privacy rights.However, under the background of anti-terrorism, they were all suppressed.

This is where the FBI changed its behavior from a catcher to a pitcher.

Jimmy and the others have basically finished their studies at the FBI Academy, and the final thing is assessment and assignment.

On the college side, the assessment is not like all the test papers in the university. Here it is mainly the case processing that is directly arranged. In addition to the final assessment, there are also daily scoring, which are the content of the final review of whether you can become an FBI agent.

After Jimmy and the others completed the assessment, they were asked to fill in a form similar to our college entrance examination volunteers.

The FBI has set up field offices and more than 56 local branches in 400 cities across the United States.The larger branch has hundreds of people, and the smaller one has more than 10 people.The offices under the sub-bureau are located in various towns and villages across the United States.In addition, the FBI has foreign agencies in 62 countries around the world.

Regardless of whether they are hired or not, everyone must fill out a copy, and then the college will uniformly distribute an envelope to each person, which contains the organization that the student reported to.In addition, according to relevant information, the annual basic salary of a junior agent is 5.7 US dollars, which is much higher than the average salary in the United States. The salaries of these quasi-agents will be raised based on this standard.

Jimmy and the others finished filling in the classroom and walked out of the classroom. There was an agent wearing sunglasses in the corridor, with his hands crossed in front of him.

Agent: "Jimmy Young?"

Jimmy: "Yes, sir. What's the matter?"

Agent: "Come with me, someone wants to see you."

Jimmy followed the agent out of the building.He is not worried that this person is a fake. This is the FBI academy, not a university campus where cats and dogs can enter. Such a high-profile person waiting outside the classroom must be someone from the academy or someone from another FBI institution.

Reminiscent of the volunteer list filled out today, Jimmy probably has some ideas.

Jimmy and the detectives came to the office building. It was his first time here. There was nothing wrong with them. Students like them were not allowed to enter the office building. The access control students here did not have cards to swipe.

Jimmy followed the agent to a senior secret service office, but there was no name posted on the door, so Jimmy didn't know which department the office he entered belonged to.

The agent knocked on the door, and then brought Jimmy into the office. He said to the middle-aged man in the office, "Jimmy Yang brought it here."

Middle-aged man: "Well, you go out." When the agent left, the middle-aged man said to Jimmy: "Sit down."

Jimmy sat down, and the middle-aged man found Jimmy's from a pile of folders on the table.

Middle-aged man: "Jimmy Young, ex-Pulaski County Assistant Sheriff, right. Have you thought about which department you're going to go to next?"

Jimmy: "No, sir, I don't have a particular department I want to go to. I obey the arrangement of the college."

The middle-aged man laughed: "Even if you stay in the academy as an instructor?"

Jimmy: "Well, of course, if the college arranges it like this, that's fine."
