THE FBI ON FACEBOOK
And YouTube. And Twitter. And More. 05/15/09Over the past few years we’ve rolled out a number of new web initiatives—including an e-mail alert service, syndicated news feeds, and a series of podcasts and widgets—that make it easier for you to help us track down wanted fugitives and missing kids, to submit tips on terrorism and crime, and to get our latest news and information. 

Today, we’re announcing the launch of our latest suite of tools. We’ve recently set up shop in several social media websites, including:where you can follow our news, check out our photos and videos, and become a “fan” of the FBI; Facebook,  YouTube, Twitter, where you can receive our  tweets on breaking news and other useful information. ( note they say nothing about twitter being two way) More than 350,000 iPhone users in 80 countries have downloaded the free FBI application built by NIC.    Visit our widgets page.     FBI Twitter                                                            FBI YouTube page  see our Gallery. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This is a major paradigm shift for the FBI. Question is if they can make it TWO way. Truly fuctional. Gerald Anthropologist FBI's "Going Dark" vs Our "BSU's". .

FBI ‘Going Dark’ with New Advanced Surveillance Program

The proposed 2010 Justice Department budget published last week reveals the development of a new FBI advanced electronic surveillance program dubbed “Going Dark.” The program is being budgeted $233.9 million next year.

According to the published budget summary (.pdf), the program “supports the FBI’s electronic surveillance (ELSUR), intelligence collection and evidence gathering capabilities, as well as those of the greater Intelligence Community.”

An FBI spokesman told ABC News, which first reported the information, that the program’s name, Going Dark, “does not refer to a specific capability, but is a program name for the part of the FBI, Operational Technology Division’s (OTD) lawful interception program which is shared with other law enforcement agencies.” He added that “The term applies to the research and development of new tools, technical support and training initiatives.”

The program is designed to help the agency address challenges with conducting surveillance over newish technologies, such as VoIP. The program is also doing research on automated link analysis to find connections between subjects of surveillance “and other investigative suspects.”

The budget report also discusses a Biometric Technology Center that is being developed jointly by the FBI, Defense Department and Justice Department in conjunction with the University of West Virginia for research and development of biometric technologies. The center is located at the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division complex in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

The biometric project will also encompass “a vast database of personal data including fingerprints, iris scans and DNA which the FBI calls the Next Generation Identification (NGI),” according to ABC, which could be online next year. Lockheed Martin has been awarded the contract to update and maintain the database at an estimated cost of up to $1 billion a year.

"The program is being budgeted $233.9 million next year."

$233,900,000.00 USD

My entire budget for last year was around $ 12,000.

Our BSU's,tracking, tracing, etc less than $ 12,000

I have many trained volunteers, from the Cyber companies,

without whom I couldn't do this work.

But a 200 million dollar budget,

hell a one million dollar budget.......

It would be great not to have to pay the $12,000 a year

out of pocket....

Leave me alone, I'm dreaming.
