The Federal Bureau of Investigation presents their 2004-2009 strategic plan outlining their goals and objectives and changes in investigative priorities and business practices, both internally and externally.
Abstract
As an update to the 1998-2003 Strategic Plan, this Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Strategic Plan serves as a high-level road map for the next 5 years, from 2004 to 2009. It provides strategic goals and objectives that address the mission of the FBI, as well as fulfilling the requirements of the President, the Attorney General, and the Director of Central Intelligence. The plan reflects the external and internal changes by laying a set of priorities and an altered structure for the organization’s goals and objectives. The strategic plan for 2004-2009 is divided into four sections. Section I provides an FBI forecast which is the foundation of strategic planning, especially in long-term forecasting. The forecast process focuses on seven global drivers from which probable results are identified. Section II provides strategic goals, objectives, and priority actions for achieving the mission of the FBI over the next 5 years which entails the following areas of intelligence: counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cyber threats, public corruption, civil rights, white collar crime, violent crime, and partnerships. Section III focuses on the human capital, the people, and ensuring the FBI maintains a preeminent workforce at all times and addresses recruitment and hiring, training and development, performance and reward, discipline, and leadership development and promotion. The fourth and final section is devoted to the tools necessary to perform the FBI’s mission effectively and efficiently; these tools include security, information technology, investigative technology, criminal justice information services, forensics, and records management.
