The LEIU/IALEIA Conference Committee is proud to announce the launch of a new webinar, The Four Pillars of Intelligence Support to Law Enforcement, presented by Erik Kleinsmith.
 
This free-to-attend event is scheduled to take place on June 10, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. EDT / 10:00 a.m. PDT.
 
DESCRIPTION:  Every intelligence organization, from the small four-person team to the large three-letter agencies must operate effectively in four critical areas: data, tools, people, and processes.  As detailed in his 2020 book of a similar title, Erik Kleinsmith will discuss the challenges, pitfalls, and potential solutions that are applicable to any type of intelligence organization, operation, or center related to the performance and integration of these four pillars.  During this webinar, Erik will show you how to evaluate and improve each of these four areas to include looking at how to evaluate both tools and data sources, how to integrate effective analytic and operational processes into your operation, and perhaps most importantly – how to bring in and care for the right personnel as intelligence professionals.  Throughout the webinar, Erik will arm you with questions, considerations and methods to help you improve the overall functioning of your operation with the ultimate goal of improving your support to decision-makers and other intelligence customers.
