RECI ;ION: 03 Notice #57-9
1. Policy
All supervisors, in the execution of their respon-
sibilities, are expected to encourage the employment of
training, both external and internal, for the fullest develop-
ment of their personnel. While seeking always to avoid
"training for the sake of training," the effective supervisor
will recognize that training, when prescribed by qualified
staff officers and employed diagnostically according to the
specific situation, can be one of management's most valuable
tools. In the future, because of budgetary considerations,
external training should be used only after careful planning
and examination of the curricula of the Office of Training,
the Technical Services Division, and the Office of Security to
determine if the training need can be satisfied internally.
To guide supervisors in the use of training to
develop the potential of,.Security Career Service personnel, the
following minimum formal training standards are established:

Except as otherwise provided by CIA
waiver of these mandatory requirements can be authorized by
the Director of Security or his designees when work experience
clearly provides an equivalent.
2. Procedures and Coordination with Training Officer
The training standards outlined above are an important
element in the professional development of Office of Security
personnel. Supervisors should view these standards as long-
range goals to be achieved, not immediately, but with steady,
planned progress. Staff and Division Chiefs will coordinate
with the Security Training Officer on plans to facilitate the
meeting of these standards.
.3. Training Beyond Required Minimum
This instruction prescribes only minimum standards
for training Security personnel for various general categories
of duty. Staff and Division Chiefs are urged to enroll per-
sonnel in additional training which will further their effective-
ness and career development. Particular attention should be
given to the Agency's course offerings in the fields of manage-
ment, supervision, effective writing, effective speaking, and
allied areas.
4. Training for Rotational Assignments
In addition to the considerations above, supervisors
should. consider it their responsibility to contribute to the
career flexibility of the personnel under their commands.
Supervisors can demonstrate their recognition of this respon-
sibility by making personnel available for training designed to
equip them for rotational assignments. In this connection, I
have instructed the Security Training Officer to begin the pre-
paration of long-range training plans for all professional

personnel of the Office of Security. These plans will seek
to space training experiences over time and to eliminate the
need for excessive training (in excess of'six months) imme-,,:
diately preceding a rotational assignment. Supervisors are"'
expected to cooperate with the Security Training Officer in
the implementation of this program.
