SUBJECT: Transit Security Grant Program: Intelligence Analyst Baseline Proficiency 

The purpose of this Information Bulletin is to clarify that the baseline proficiency standard for 
Intelligence Analysts as enumerated in the FY 2007 TSGP Supplemental Program Guidance and 
Application Kit is not exclusive but, rather, intended to reflect minimum categories of training 
outlined in Global’s Minimum Criminal Intelligence Training Standards for Law Enforcement 
and Other Criminal Justice Agencies in the United States. Grantees and supported transit 
agencies may apply another (equivalent or greater) qualifying standard upon request and 
approval by the FEMA Grant Development & Administration Division. 

Additional information regarding TSGP grant programs is available on the FEMA website at 
http://www.fema.gov/grants. Questions may be directed to the Centralized Scheduling and 
Information Desk at 1-800-368-6498 or via email at askcsid@dhs.gov.
