Transforming the FBI: Integrating FBI Management Functions under a Chief Management Officer

In June 2006, the Academy Panel provided a paper assessing the FBI’s management functions and providing advice on how the Bureau might better organize them.

In July, Director Mueller announced a series of structural management changes, including the creation of an Associate Deputy Director who will function as a Chief Management Officer to oversee personnel, budget, administration, information technology and infrastructure functions. This will allow the Director and Deputy Director to focus their attention on law enforcement and intelligence operations, while bringing senior level attention and accountability to day-to-day management. This Panel report, Transforming the FBI: Integrating FBI Management Functions under a Chief Management Officer, constitutes the information and analysis that the Academy contributed to the establishment of a Chief Management Officer.
