Unit 9 Project: Tips & Clues
For the four basic approaches to investigating terrorist, see Chapter 25, entitled “When a Clandestine Terrorist is Identified.”
Use Chapter 25 as your primary source. Do not consult outside sources in trying to identify the four approaches.
Consult outside sources for specific examples of how three of the four investigative approaches lead to effective prevention and intervention.
Include specific page references when you cite the course book. For example, (Dyson, 2008) does not refer to any specific page, whereas (Dyson, 2008, p. 377) will direct the reader to a precise page.
Follow APA rules for citations and quotations. Never copy material from a source without enclosing the material inside quotation marks and following the quotation immediately with a citation.

The Four Investigative Approaches
Identify the four approaches to investigating terrorists
![Page 9: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Four Investigative Approaches
Direct Take no action Give the information to another agency Initiate a full-scale, discreet investigation
![Page 10: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Direct Approach
Describe the direct approach
![Page 11: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Direct Approach
The direct approach is where law enforcement directly confronts the terror suspect. Confrontation may involve an interview and presenting suspect with specific evidence of his or her activity.
![Page 12: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Direct Approach
Is the direct approach effective in terrorist investigations?
![Page 13: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Direct Approach
Negative: Unlike the ordinary criminal, a terrorist is unlikely to participate in an interview when directly confronted by law enforcement.
– Terror suspects trained in police interview tactics and less vulnerable to bluffing
– Will likely demand counsel, or demand to be charged or released
– May discontinue activity or affiliation with terrorist group Positive: suspect likely neutralized the confronted suspect
![Page 14: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Take No Action
Why would a law enforcement agency elect to take no action against a terrorist suspect?
![Page 15: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Take No Action
Agency lacks time and manpower to conduct a meaningful investigation
Does “take no action” mean do nothing at all?
![Page 16: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Take No Action
No. Taking no action refers only to the use of labor-intensive investigative activities.– Value of information is recognized and stored for
future use– Agency can still conduct background checks and
procure records (e.g., utility bills, credit cards, bank accounts, home and work telephone). No risk of jeopardizing confidentiality of investigation.
![Page 17: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Giving Information to another agency
Why would a law enforcement agency give information to another agency? Identify the agency most likely to receive the information.
![Page 18: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Giving Information to another agency
If a local agency believes it cannot conduct an appropriate investigation, it can turn the information over to another agency.
Receiving Agencies– FBI– State agency– County agency
![Page 19: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Giving Information to another agency
After turning information over, is the local agency likely to be excluded from the investigation? Why? Why not?
![Page 20: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Giving Information to another agency
No. The FBI (or state or county agency) will likely include the local agency– Joint terrorist task forces – Emphasis on cooperation
![Page 21: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Full Scale Investigation
Identify the steps that should be taken to begin a full-scale investigation.
![Page 22: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Full Scale Investigation
Establish case objectives Procure cooperation from other agencies conducting terrorist investigations in
the area Gather sufficient manpower Bring prosecutor on board Use least intrusive investigative techniques first Record checks (law enforcement and public records) Credit records Financial, utility, telephone and credit card agency checks Internet checks Mail covers Contact informants Use more intrusive investigative techniques
![Page 23: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ending Investigation Too Soon
What are the ramifications of arresting a terror suspect too early?
![Page 24: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ending Investigation Too Soon
Lack of evidence to prosecute Insufficient information developed on the terrorist
group and other group members– Location of safe houses– Location of weapon caches– Funding sources
Other group members will flee or enhance security measures
![Page 25: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ending Investigation Too Late
What are the ramifications of arresting a terror suspect too late?
![Page 26: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ending Investigation Too Late
Attack(s) may be carried out Violent acts committed to raise funds or
acquire weapons and supplies Subject discovers investigation
![Page 27: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Deciding when to continue or close case
What considerations might influence the continuation a case?
![Page 28: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Deciding when to continue or close case
Factors Supporting Continuation– Additional conspirators can be identified– Further intelligence can be developed– Additional intelligence will likely lead to solution of
possible attacks and criminal violations
![Page 29: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Deciding when to continue or close case
What considerations might influence the closing a case?
![Page 30: Unit 9: Investigative Techniques Used in Terrorism Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681375b550346895d9ee9d7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Deciding when to continue or close case
Factors supporting closing of case– Case too large and complex to securely manage– Loss of maximum investigative efficiency– Number of investigators involved– Number of prosecutors from other jurisdictions
involved– Geographic scope of investigation– Drain on agency manpower and resources
