Counterintelligence Training Academy
The Counterintelligence Training Academy (CITA) supports the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration by providing CI Awareness and CI staff training services in support of the DOE Counterintelligence Directorate. We are part of the CI Training and Awareness effort of your local laboratory, plant or site field Counterintelligence Office.
Our role is to provide quality counterintelligence and terrorism awareness training products to promote awareness of foreign-directed intelligence collection threats and to meet the departmental professional training needs of counterintelligence employees.
This training enhances your understanding of these areas:
-
Your role and responsibilities in helping to detect, deter, or minimize information-collection threats from foreign sources, including international terrorism activities
-
How to use the DOE/NNSA Counterintelligence Program to protect yourself as well as departmental programs, and to mitigate the risks associated with scientific research and collaboration activities
-
Potential vulnerabilities and what protection measures to use during foreign travel, attendance at conferences, and through foreign interaction --- whether in person or by mail, e-mail, or telephone
CITA delivers training at no cost to DOE/NNSA sites. Training is arranged by mobile training teams (MTT) at the request of the Senior Counterintelligence Officer at each major site. Training is also available in-residence at the National Training Center campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
