1. Introduction

Link to Policy: Corporate Policy Directive 0389D

Purpose: The purpose of this policy implementation guide (PG) is to outline policies and procedures regarding the utilization of the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime's (NCAVC) expertise and resources; to assist federal, state, local, tribal, and foreign law enforcement, intelligence, and security agencies; and to ensure that investigations comply with the Attorney General's Guidelines for Domestic FBI Operations (AGG-Dom) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG).

NCAVC Legislative Mandate:

In 1985, the Department of Justice (DOJ) established the NCAVC to consolidate research, training, and operational support activities for the express purpose of providing that expertise to any legitimate law enforcement agency confronted with unusual, bizarre, and/or particularly vicious or repetitive violent crime.

In a strategy designed to address problems related to crimes against children and serial murders, Congress passed the "Protection of Children from Sexual Predators Act of 1998" (Public Law 105-314). This law gives specific investigative authority and responsibility to the FBI and specifically, to the NCAVC. This legislation mandates the NCAVC to provide operational assistance, develop research projects, and conduct training for law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation of child abductions, mysteriods disappearances of children, child homicides, and serial murders.

Background: The NCAVC is a law enforcement-oriented behavioral and data analysis center that provides behaviorally-based operational support to federal, state, local, tribal, and foreign law enforcement and intelligence and security agencies involved in the investigation of unusual, high-risk, vicious, or repetitive violent crimes; communicated threats; terrorism; and other violent crime-related matters. The NCAVC also provides support through expertise and consultation in nonviolent matters such as national security, public corruption, and white-collar crime investigations. The NCAVC is a component of the Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG) and is comprised of four units: (1) the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP), (2) Behavioral Analysis Unit-1 (BAU-1; Counterterrorism and Threat Assessment) Behavioral Analysis Unit-2 (BAU-2; Crimes Against Adults), and (4) Behavioral Analysis Unit-3 (BAU-3; Crimes Against Children). The responsibilities of each unit are detailed as follows:

• Electronic surveillance (ELSUR).

• Physical surveillance (FISUR).

• UCOs.

• CHS operations.

Behavioral assistance in the CT Program area is provided to field offices; Legats; and CTD, and primarily focuses upon the following three specialty areas:

1. Interview/ interrogation strategies: Interviewing/interrogation strategies pertain primarily to CTD subjects based upon detailed analyses of their personalities, activities, associations, and behavioral needs. BAU-1 will usually offer suggestions regarding the most effective way to approach subjects, where the interview/questioning should be conducted, who should be the primary interviewer, and a discussion of methods to overcome anticipated stress and resistance.

• Electronic surveillance (ELSUR).

• Physical surveillance (FISUR):

.• UCOs.

• CHS operations.

Behavioral assistance in the CT Program area is provided to field offices; Legats; and CTD, and primarily focuses upon the following three specialty areas:

I, Interview/ interrogation strategies: Interviewing/interrogation strategies pertain primarily to CTD subjects based upon detailed analyses of their personalities, activities, associations, and behavioral needs. BAU-l will usually offer suggestions regarding the most effective way to approach subjects, where the interview/questioning should be conducted, who should be the primary interviewer, and a discussion of methods to overcome anticipated stress and resistance.

predictions regarding threat potential. These evaluations are not type 1 and 2 assessments identified in the DIOG as these are behaviorally focused assessments which do not utilize specific investigative methods. These behavioral evaluations are completed based on available information contained in the existing substantive FBI case file. Consideration is given to:

• Social events.

• Environmental changes.

• Medication (or lack thereof).

• Substance abuse.

• Personal conflict (e.g., sense of injustice, sense of mission, sense of loss, sense of destiny, desire for revenge, and/or a desire for recognition).

• Psychological disorders which can affect the mood or thought processes.

• Intent/motivation.

• Access to the means to carry out an attack.

• Inhibitors to acting out and stressors.

4.2.5. Serial Killings

FBI field offices will process requests from state, local, and tribal law enforcement agency heads for FBI investigation of cases involving serial killings as set forth below (see also 306 - Serial Killings classification):

1. FBI investigations of nonfederal serial killing matters will be predicated on a formal written request for such an investigation from the head of a state, local, or tribal law enforcement agency with existing investigative or prosecutive jurisdiction. In cases involving murders in multiple jurisdictions, only the head of one of the state, local, or tribal agencies involved is required to submit a written request; however, the FBI should closely coordinate the investigation with all of the agencies involved in the matter. The requesting agency head must forward the written request to the SAC of the FBI field office responsible for the area that includes the location of the requesting agency. Written requests are required even in cases in which the FBI's NCAVC or the FBI Laboratory provided or are currently providing inyestigative support. The need for written requests for assistance in these cases is consistent with guidance previously cited in this PG regarding support to Non-FBI cases and is also in line with guidance contained in the DIOG outlining requirements for providing technical/expert assistance on state and local cases.

3. The NCAVC coordinator of the field office receiving the written request will review it to determine if the request pertains to a case involving "three or more killings, one of which was committed in the United States."

4. Field offices must thoroughly review each proposed serial killing matter to determine if other federal violations may be applicable. This allows for more extensive FBI involvement in the investigative and prosecutorial process.

5. If the request meets the basic requirements under 28 U.S.C. § 540B, the NCAVC coordinator will forward it to the NCAVC, BAU-2 if the majority of victims are adults. If the majority of victims are children, the NCAVC coordinator will forward it to BAU-3 for a formal behavioral assessment. The NCAVC will then coordinate with the requesting agency/agencies and field office(s) involved to review all case materials relevant to its behavioral evaluation. In particular, the NCAVC will determine whether the requested investigation conforms, to the statutory elements of 28 U.S.C. § 540B (i.e., whether the cited murders have "common characteristics such as to suggest the reasonable possibility that the crimes were committed by the same actor or actors.").

7. If the NCAVC determines that the requested investigation concerns serial killings as defined under 28 U.S.C. § 540B, the SAC of the originating field office may initiate an investigation into the matter after obtaining the concurrence of the VCS, CID. Investigations of serial killings will be opened under the FBI's 306 investigative classification.

8. If the NCAVC determines that the requested investigation does not involve serial killings as required under 28 U.S.C. § 540B, the FBI lacks the requisite authority to investigate the matter; however, the NCAVC can provide, or continue to provide, investigative support to the requesting agency through on-site consultations, research, and analysis.

4.2.6. International Cases

Matters involving the interaction of BAU resources with the international community, whether related to operational, training, research, or other issues, must be coordinated through the appropriate Legat prior to any commitment for services. The Legat or ALAT will review submitted case materials prior to submission to the NCAVC to ensure necessary materials are included.

NCAVC staff and coordinators will ensure that written notification from requesting agencies is obtained and provided to the NCAVC to comply with the DIOG ("Standards for Providing and Approving Technical Assistance to Foreign, State, Local, and Tribal Agencies" Expert b7E assistance and any dissemination on non-FBI cases must be documented on an er DIOG.
