When an investigator makes a submission, 28 CFR Part 23 requires that it be labeled for level of sensitivity and level of confidence. What do these terms mean?
The “level of sensitivity” refers to how the intelligence information should be disseminated. Typically, the submitter sets a designation to classify how the information will be released. The following is an example, from the 28 CFR Part 23 Sample Operating Policies and Procedures located on IIR’s Web site, of how a project may opt to set three levels of dissemination based on the sensitivity of the intelligence: • Open—disseminate the criminal intelligence file to the inquirer when there is a hit, with no further action required. • Release Agency Name Only—provide only the controlling agency name and contact information. • Restricted—do not disseminate the criminal intelligence file or even indicate that there has been a hit. Notify the controlling agency. Projects will develop the levels of sensitivity and train all participating agencies as to the usage of each level. The “level of confidence” gives the recipient an indication of how the submitter feels about the content of the file
