Also for a short time we actually had an SF MP Company or Battalion, I think John T. Fishel knows about them.


Here is the Link. CIC In WW2 Mission and History.

Slap, we actually have LEOs involved to this day on MTTs (State partnership bilateral programs). While it's clear they are not specifically here for intel collection or training, the general thrust of these MTTs is intel gathering and analysis - Obtaining the big picture and takin' down the bad guys

I've participated in both the USG (as a terrorist) and the UK (as a humble student) courses held and hosted here.

Bill's got it right - There's much to be learned...

... a critically important set of investigative skills that yield intelligence that frequently doesn't get into intelligence channels
