Episоde 2 a Fresh Look at Customs Intelligence1.
An Interview with the Director of the Intelligence Office2 of the U.S. Customs Service.
Interviewer: Since assuming the helm of3 Customs Intelligence last year, what is your perception of the role of the Office of Intelligence within the Customs?
Director: I see the role of the Office of Intelligence as providing national guidance4 and functional direction while the field intelligence managers5 provide direct management.
Interviewer: What are some of your long-term objectives for the Office of Intelligence?
Director: The most important long-term objective is to develop our analysts, through training, as experts in specific subjects. These experts would have deep not only of the intelligence process, also of the particular Customs program – drugs, fraud, technology transfer, etc.
Interviewer: Since your appointment as the Director of Intelligence, has the Intelligence Program made any impact on the Customs enforcement mission6?
Director: Intelligence is totally integrated into the Customs enforcement mission. The following example of this integration comes immediately to mind. The Intelligence Operations Centre7 received the information that the vessel "RIO" had departed from Colombia for Belgium with cocaine hidden in a shipment of bananas. The Resident Agent in Charge confirmed the information and the vessel was placed on lookout8 in the TECS9. Intelligence analysts noticed similarities in modus operandi10 with another vessel also reported to be smuggling cocaine. After a thorough research and analysis, information emerged which described a possible technique that the smuggling organisation would use. Intelligence reported the information to the Customs Attache in Paris, who then passed it to the Belgian Customs. On July 25 the Belgian Customs inspected "RIO" and discovered 75 kilograms of cocaine secreted in a shipment of bananas.
Interviewer: Is there anything else you would like to comment on during this interview?
Director: Yes, most definitely. As you probably know, the Office of Intelligence is the clearinghouse for some of the most sensitive information within the Customs, information on national defence as well as on Customs investigations. To protect this information, the U.S. Customs needs individuals of the highest caliber in terms of trustworthiness and integrity. One of my goals as Director is to ensure that recruit and hire only those who meet these security standards. Integrity and the pursuit of excellence are the cornerstones I want to use to build further develop the Customs Intelligence Program.
