Purpose and Scope

FBI TRANSFORMATION — 2008

BACKGROUND
This project was begun in 2002 at the request of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and State, and in cooperation with the FBI. Since that time, the Academy has been involved in a wide-ranging series of reviews, resulting in three public reports-Transforming the FBI: Progress and Challenges (January 2005), Transforming the FBI: Roadmap to an Effective Human Capital Program (September 2005), and - Transforming the FBI: Integrating Management Functions Under a Chief Management Officer. Each report has included specific recommendations for improvement in the Bureau’s management, organizations, and policies. In addition, a series of Internal Use Only papers have been produced relating to the FBI’s human resources, planning and budgeting, training, and intelligence programs. The Academy is continuing to work with the FBI to ensure that it fulfills its most important mission: protecting the American people.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In fiscal year 2008, the Academy Panel will be primarily concentrating on assessing the FBI's progress in the area of budget formulation and execution, and the relationship between the Bureau’s strategic planning efforts and its financial and resource decision making process. Additional areas may be added as this project progresses. The following Sub-panels have been formed to assist and inform the Panel’s deliberations regarding various aspects of the Academy’s work with the FBI.

Field Structure. The development of criteria, options, recommendations, and implementation strategies for its current field structure in light of its changing priorities.

Intelligence Functions. Monitoring implementation of new intelligence-related authorities and the FBI's ongoing integration with the intelligence and law enforcement communities and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Budget and Planning Processes. Reviewing the FBI budget process, and recommending and assisting in implementing changes that will better integrate the planning and budgeting functions.

Human Resources Management. Assisting the FBI in dealing with critical human capital issues, implementing new statutory personnel authorities, and organizing itself to deal more effectively with human resources and administrative management functions.

In order to devote added attention to these areas, the Panel has established Sub-panels responsible for each area and reporting to the overall Panel on their work.
