The FIAT curriculum is guided by the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan (NCISP) and the IALEIA/Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative’s Law Enforcement Analytic Standards. It is intended for civilian and sworn law enforcement, as well as regulatory personnel who have not received formal, basic, intelligence analysis training.
The FIAT course is approved for agency funding reimbursement by U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS funding must be coordinated with the state grant coordinator.
FIAT is a cooperative venture of the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts (IALEIA) and Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit (LEIU).
