Intelligence Division

The Intelligence Division is managed by an Assistant Director who is designated as the

Federal Senior Intelligence Coordinator (FSIC), serving as the primary liaison between

the Department and the Intelligence Community (IC). The Intelligence

Division also serves as the Federal Intelligence Coordinating Office responsible for

coordinating with the IC to support policy makers and other intelligence customers

within the Department. The Intelligence Division establishes and disseminates

intelligence policy and coordinates the development of bureau and offices programs

related to intelligence, and information sharing. In addition, the Division directs the

sharing of law enforcement, sensitive, and classified intelligence information among

bureaus and offices, departments and agencies, and other organizations.

The Division's Counterintelligence/Insider Threat Program was established under

Executive Order 13587 to deter, detect, and mitigate insider threats, including the

safeguarding of classified information from exploitation, compromise, or

other unauthorized disclosures. The Counterintelligence/Insider Threat

Program disseminates counterintelligence, insider threat, operational security, foreign

access management, and foreign contact and travel policy within the Department, as well

as performing inquiries and investigations pertaining to counterintelligence and insider

threat anomalies, and other related matters. The Division includes a criminal

investigator assigned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation‘s National Joint Terrorism

Task Force (NJTTF) as the Department’s Threat Coordinator, representing the

Department on all domestic and international counter-terrorism related matters.
