BEAVERCREEK — A local center that trains intelligence analysts could become the first outside of Washington, D.C., to regularly host multi-agency training sessions and, as a result, boost the Dayton region’s standing with the nation’s top intelligence agencies.

The Advanced Technical Intelligence Center, which trains intelligence analysts for government and contractor jobs, hopes to learn by year’s end whether it will be approved to host training sessions for the director of national intelligence, said Hugh Bolton, president and chief executive officer of ATIC.

That could enhance the Dayton region’s reputation as a center to train intelligence specialists for jobs at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and elsewhere.

“That has benefit to our region, to bring in people from around the country,” Bolton said Wednesday at ATIC, which hosted its first 10-day course for the director of national intelligence from Aug. 30 to Sept. 10. Staff from the intelligence director’s office came away impressed with ATIC’s facilities in Beavercreek and made a recommendation to Washington superiors to hold regular training at ATIC, Bolton said.

The training would serve personnel from the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, and the Defense Department, among others. The training is designed to help intelligence agencies work together, an area of U.S. concern after the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Bolton said ATIC could begin hosting those training sessions in January. The organization already provides training for new employees of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson.
