Extensive interviews with senior FBI executives were conducted to examine such issues as budgeting, personnel, technology, and international investigations. Data were also obtained from law enforcement executives, academicians, and criminal justice consultants. National and international study participants were asked to consider their relationship with the FBI in terms of operations and investigations, training, and technology and law enforcement services. Study findings showed that the future FBI should be an information repository for all categories of reactive crime. The FBI should assemble a national clearinghouse of criminal information and statistics and a modus operandi data base. Joint operations between the FBI and local police departments are envisioned to target specific crimes such as drug trafficking and street gangs. The most acclaimed training program for local law enforcement is the FBI's "Train the Trainer Program." Local law enforcement agencies also expect the FBI to continue leading in forensic and technological advances. Future legislative initiatives will be required to adequately equip the FBI and other Federal, State, local, and international law enforcement agencies to address evolving crime problems. The FBI should be prepared to deal with increased immigration levels and the possibility of expanded international crime groups due to increased foreign investment in U.S. businesses. Senior police officials predict that the future police community will have three tiers: public, private, and corporate.
