Two years have passed since the FBI deployed Sentinel to users in July 2012.

Since the deployment, the FBI has worked to improve both the functionality and

user’s experience with Sentinel. During our audit, we found that the majority of

users who participated in our survey viewed their experience with Sentinel

positively, responding that Sentinel has increased their daily productivity, increased

their ability to share information with personnel in other offices, and enhanced the

FBI’s ability to carry out its mission. Some survey respondents also stated that

Sentinel is an improvement over ACS. However, ECTs and ELSUR Technicians

expressed concerns about the impact Sentinel had on their daily work activities that

play a vital role in the storage and management of evidence collected by the FBI.

In addition, we found that survey respondents’ satisfaction with Sentinel’s search

and indexing functionality was significantly lower than other functions because they

did not reliably receive the search results they needed and reported spending too

much of their time manually indexing information. FBI officials are aware of these

concerns and told us that they plan to address them.

The deployment of Sentinel represented significant changes in both the

technology and business processes used by FBI employees to accomplish tasks. Of

those Special Agents who responded that Sentinel had decreased their daily

productivity, a majority attributed the productivity decrease to an increase in

administrative burden. During our audit, Special Agents told us that the increase in

the administrative burden posed by indexing leaves less time for investigative

activities. Prior to the deployment of Sentinel, OSTs played a significant role in the

indexing process. Since the deployment of Sentinel, that role has been eliminated,

creating an opportunity for OSTs to potentially ease the increased administrative

burden on Special Agents in the field. However, we found that OSTs were not

always used efficiently or assigned new tasks to supplant their previous indexing duties. As a result, we believe that some user concerns, especially those relating to

indexing, may require both a technical and business process solution.

Survey respondents’ also reported that Sentinel was missing features that

they believed are critical to their duties, such as Sentinel’s integration with other

FBI IT systems and enhancements to the search capability. Enhanced search

capabilities should improve user satisfaction with Sentinel and increase the FBI’s

ability to “connect the dots.” To ensure that future enhancements are more aligned

with user’s operational needs, the FBI should consider revising how it prioritizes the

addition of new enhancements to the system. In addition, although respondents

were generally satisfied with the job-specific training and other resources the FBI

offered, Special Agents and Supervisory Special Agents reported a significantly

lower level of satisfaction with the availability of technical and policy-related

support after the deployment of Sentinel.

The total budget for Sentinel since the deployment of Sentinel 1.0 in

July 2012 has increased from $451 million to $551.4 million. This increase is the

result of operations and maintenance during FY 2013 and 2014 and the

development of new functionality during FY 2014. As of July 2014, the FBI had

obligated $529.2 million of that $551.4 million and expensed $502.1 million. The

FBI’s deployment of Sentinel 1.5, planned for October 2014, is intended to support

the needs of the FBI’s intelligence analysts by integrating legacy intelligence

systems and expanding Sentinel’s functionality by leveraging its features to support

the FBI’s intelligence mission. If Sentinel 1.5 successfully subsumes other legacy

systems or improves the integration of Sentinel with other legacy systems, the FBI

should realize cost savings from retiring systems and reducing the amount of

maintenance to operate other legacy systems.

Questionnaire

In January, Australia caught on fire. I don’t even know if that fire was put out, because we straight up almost went to war with Iran. We might actually still be almost at war with them. I don’t know, because Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt spoke to one another at an awards show and everyone flipped the crap out, but then there was this thing happening in China, then Prince Harry and Megan peaced out of the Royal family, and there was the whole impeachment trial, and then corona virus showed up in the US “officially,” but then Kobe died and UK peaced out of the European Union.

In February, Iowa pooped itself with the caucus results and the president was acquitted and the Speaker of the House took ten. Whole. years. to rip up a speech , but then The WHO decided to give this virus a name COVID-19, which confused some really important people in charge of, like, our lives, into thinking there were 18 other versions before it, but then Harvey Weinstein was found guilty, and Americans started asking if Corona beer was safe to drink, and everyone on social media became a doctor who just knew the flu like killed way more people than COVID 1 through 18.

In March, stuff hit the fan. Warren dropped out of the presidential race and Sanders was like Bernie or bust, but then Italy shut its whole country down, and then COVID Not 1 through 18 officially become what everyone already realized, a pandemic and then a nationwide state of emergency was declared in US, but it didn’t really change anything, so everyone was confused or thought it was still just a flu, but then COVID Not 18 was like ya’ll not taking me seriously? I’m gonna infect the one celebrity everyone loves and totally infected Tom Hanks, get y’all to close all of the schools so y’all can appreciate teachers for once (because you can’t teach them anything other than how to use a touch screen ) close down all of salons so you can’t get your hair or your nails done , everyone had to work from home and attend Zoom meetings in their underwear. The DOW took a crap on itself, and most of us still don’t understand why the stock market is so important or even a thing, We were then all introduced to Tiger King and the ONE thing we can all agree on this year , Carol totally killed her husband ….. whacked him! And then Netflix was like you’re welcome, and we all realized there was no way we were washing our hands enough in the first place because all of our hands are now dry and gross and were all searching for lotion now.

In April, Bernie finally busted himself out of the presidential race , but then NYC became the set of The Walking Dead and we learned that no one has face masks, ventilators, or toilet paper, or THE FREAKING SWIFFER WET JET LIQUID , and by now our outgrowth is showing, so there’s a shortage on box hair dye and all of our hair dressers are like , NO DONT DO IT!!! But, then Kim Jong-Un died, but then he came back to life … or did he? Who knows, because then the Pentagon released videos of UFOs and nobody cared, and we were like man, it’s only April….

In May, the biblical end times kicked off , historical locust swarms, we learned of murder hornets and realized that 2020 was the start of the Hunger Games however people forgot to let us know. people legit started to protest lockdown measures with AR-15s, sports events were cancelled everywhere. But then people all over America finally reached a breaking point with race issues and violence. There were protests in every city ,which was confusing to some of us because people were definitely gathering in crowds of more than 10 and for sure closer than 6 foot away from each other . Those people must have forgotten about the pandemic called COVID Not One Through 18. Media struggled with how to focus on two important things at once, people in general struggle to focus on more than one important thing. A dead whale was found in the middle of the Amazon rain forest after monkeys stole COVID 1 Through 19 from a lab and ran off with them, and either in May or April (no one is keeping track of time now) that a giant asteroid narrowly missed the Earth.

In June, common sense just got thrown straight out the window and somehow wearing masks became a political thing, but then everyone sort of remembered there was a pandemic, then scientists announced they found a mysterious undiscovered mass at the center of the earth, and everyone was like DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH IT, but then everyone took a pause to realize that people actually believed Gone With The Wind was like non-fiction, but then it was also announced that there is a strange radio signal coming from somewhere in the universe that repeats itself every so many days, and everyone was like DON’T YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH IT but then America reopened from the shut down that actually wasn’t even a shut down, and so far, things have gone spectacularly …. not that great. All of the Karen’s came out at once, and people started tearing down statues. Everyone is on Facebook arguing about masks, but then Florida was like hold my beer and let me show you how we’re number one in all things, including new Not Corona Beer Coronavirus. Then we learned there was a massive dust cloud coming straight at us from the Sahara Desert, which is totally normal, but this is 2020, so the ghost mummy thing is most likely in that dust cloud. We then learned of meth-gators , and I'm like that is so not on my flipping 2020 Bingo card can we use it as the free space?? Then we learned that the Congo's worst ever Ebola outbreak is over, and we were all like, there was an Ebola outbreak that was the worse ever? ……. and don’t forget we just discovered FLYING SNAKES! , seriously! FLYING SNAKES!!!!

So here comes July….Ghislaine Maxwell gets arrested, people all over America continue protests on race issues and violence there were protests in every city, Gun violence and shootings occuring Across the Country but Chicago takes the on gun violence,

Houston’s Chinese Consulate was closed, we ended the month with random seeds being shipped to the USA from China.

At the end of July we were over it , just tell us what’s next …. Aliens? Zeus? Asteroids? Artificial Intelligence becomes self aware? Can it just be something cool or fun for once? Maybe even a good laugh , like hahaha April Fools! We all actually wouldn’t mind that joke at this point.

But August is like here I'll show you hold my beer, Spain’s Former King leaves, 2 giant explosion in Beirut killing at least 220 people and injuring 7000 more, A grenade in North Cameroon killed 15 people, A Derecho that traveled more than 700 miles (Inland Hurricane) across 6 midwest States (NE, IA, IL, IN, WI, MI) killed one in Eastern Iowa and left more than 800,000 without power and shutting down gas stations for miles.

The best is yet to come
