• The SME will use their knowledge of FBI operations to infuse the policy and intent of the DIOG into underlying policies for use of specific methods or within specific divisions.

• The SME will work with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to propose updates to the Attorney General Guidelines on Extraterritorial Operations (AGG-ET) and frequently meet with DOJ and United States Intelligence Community (USIC) partners on these discussions.
