What is intelligence-led policing?
Intelligence-Led Policing is the collection and analysis of information to produce an intelligence end-product designed to inform police decision-making at both the tactical and strategic levels.[2] Strategic intelligence provides decision-makers an overview of criminal activity, groups, and threats, enabling more efficient departmental, regional and statewide policy planning and resource allocation. Tactical intelligence is used to guide operational level law enforcement regarding criminal investigations or serving more immediate needs such as officer safety. Priority intelligence requirements will be used to guide collection efforts to support this type of intelligence.
