  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: JIATF-W TRAINING ASSISTANCE REQUEST 
 
 
1. (SBU) Summary. Post requests Joint Interagency Task Force-West 
(JIATF-West) assistance in sponsoring joint Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE) / Department of Defense (DOD) training in 
Singapore focused on forensic document examination and the 
international legal issues involved in border enforcement and 
transportation security. 
 
---------- 
BACKGROUND 
---------- 
 
2. (SBU) The United States has been supporting and collaborating 
with the Government of Singapore (GOS) in combating terrorism and 
transnational criminal organizations, ensuring migration integrity 
and transportation security in Southeast Asia for a number of years. 
 Such efforts have yielded significant positive results, due in part 
to the ability of the United States to focus on the expertise and 
authorities of all relevant U.S. organizations and agencies on this 
mission.  There remains a need for the United States to continue to 
focus interagency efforts on this mission and maintain our 
outstanding working relations with GOS law enforcement agencies. 
 
----------------------- 
ICE/JIATF-West Training 
----------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) ICE has identified forensic document examination as a 
specific skill useful to GOS law enforcement entities, specifically 
to the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoint Authority.  ICE is 
particularly well positioned to provide forensic document 
examination training by bringing to bear the expertise of the 
examiners at the ICE Forensic Document Laboratory (FDL) in McLean, 
Virginia.  The ICE FDL is unique within the U.S. government in two 
ways.  It is the only crime laboratory within the federal government 
dedicated exclusively to detecting and deterring travel and identity 
document fraud.  The FDL also has an operational intelligence 
section intended to help develop document examination skills for 
field officers who do not have forensic experience.  The FDL 
provides extensive document examination and fraud detection training 
to domestic and international law enforcement agencies as part of 
its mission to combat the document fraud and misuse of travel and 
identity documents often used in transnational crime, trafficking in 
persons, as well as in furtherance of terrorist plots. 
 
4.  (SBU) Most training provided by the Forensic Document Laboratory 
is geared towards officers who are responsible for verifying 
documents, including border control personnel, police officers and 
passport and residence adjudicators. Training courses are tailored 
to the requirements and preferences of the requesting agencies, but 
all courses attempt to combine information on forensic examination 
techniques using basic field equipment with other methods of 
examination that can be used outside of a laboratory setting. 
 
5.  (SBU) Topics can be adjusted according to the needs of the 
requesting agency.  A typical two-day course includes the following 
topics: 
-- Document security features and document construction 
-- Basic document examination 
-- Identifying counterfeiting techniques 
-- Fraud with stolen blank documents 
-- Identification of impostors 
 
Each section discusses some of the challenges faced by enforcement 
officers and provides information that can be applied by front-line 
officers to their main responsibilities. 
 
6.  (SBU) These modules are supplemented with specialized 
information on specific documents of interest to the attendees, as 
well as discussion of how particular criminal groups abuse certain 
types of documents to smuggle people across borders.  Whenever 
possible the FDL training includes "hands on" exercises designed to 
allow participants direct experience with document examination. 
 
7.  (SBU) JIATF-West has the unique authority to sponsor and 
facilitate joint ICE/DOD training of this type.  The goal of this 
training is to increase the proficiency of GOS law enforcement 
(Immigration and Checkpoint Authority) in forensic document 
examination and the exploitation of intelligence and evidence 
gathered during the course of inspecting identity and travel 
documents and interviewing travelers entering into and transiting 
Singapore. 
 
8.  (SBU) Post requests that ICE Attache Singapore and the ICE FDL, 
under the sponsorship of JIATF-West, execute a two day training 
event for GOS law enforcement (Immigration and Checkpoint Authority) 
in Singapore on the subject of Forensic Document Examination and the 
international legal issues involved in border enforcement and 
transportation security.  Post requests that the training be 
conducted prior to the conclusion of FY 07.  If such training proves 
successful and forces and funding are available, it may be 
appropriate to continue this training program in FY08. 
 
9. (U) Post's Law Enforcement Council have reviewed and concurred 
with this request.
