Analytical Tradecraft for Law Enforcement Agencies (ATLEA) maximizes your ability to analyze intelligence and build tailored products in support of counternarcotic investigations. ATLEA is intended for newly assigned analysts or those seeking to expand their analytical skill sets and leveraging them to combat Drug Trafficking Organizations and narcoterrorism.
