Study Notes
Police Intelligence
- Police intelligence is the end-product of collecting, evaluating, analyzing, and integrating information related to criminal activity. Its goal is to plan operations, arrest criminals, gather evidence, and prevent crimes.
-
General Categories of Police Intelligence
- Strategic Intelligence: Long-range information not immediately useful, but relevant in future operations. Usually descriptive, focusing on personalities and methods of operation.
- Line Intelligence: Current, concise, and factual information directly affecting police operations, such as raids and arrests. Comes from overt and covert sources.
- Counter-Intelligence: Protects the police organization from threats. Divided into passive and active measures.
Basic Principles of Intelligence Operations
- Continuous: Intelligence work is a cyclical process.
- Interdependent: Operational plans depend on intelligence.
- Useful: Intelligence should lead to logical decisions.
- Timely: Speed is essential, even if it means sacrificing some accuracy.
- Flexible: Information gathering methods must adapt.
- Imagination & Foresight: Agents should be innovative to acquire more information.
- Security Measures: Balance secrecy with operational expediency in handling classified materials.
- Command Responsibility: A leader's role in intelligence.
- Thorough Planning: A key component of effective intelligence.
The Task of Procurement and Collection of Intelligence
- Information is gathered from various sources like: newspapers, magazines, internet, radio intercepts, public/private libraries, establishments, and the public.
- Procurement is the active effort to find specific information not easily accessed.
- Methods include classical (human agents) and modern (technical sources like satellites, electronics) intelligence.
Kinds of Agents
- Agent in place: A recruited agent within a target.
- Double agent: A captured enemy agent turned informant.
- Expendable agent: Used to leak false information.
- Penetration agent: An agent who infiltrates the enemy.
- Agent of influence: An agent using influence to gain information.
Sources of Police Information Collection Activities
- Routine patrol
- Surveillance
- Criminal investigations
- Interrogations
- Searches and seizures
- Cordon and search
- Checkpoints
- Public relations
- Coordination of various jails, national penitentiary, military stockades
- Statistics
The Intelligence Cycle
- A cyclical process for obtaining, producing, and distributing intelligence.
-
Four Phases of Intelligence Cycle
- Planning the Collection Effort: Defining intelligence needs, setting priorities, and selecting collection agencies.
- Collection: Systematic gathering of information by various agencies.
-
Processing: Converting raw data into useful intelligence by recording, evaluation, and interpretation.
- Types of Sources: Open Source and non-open source.
- Evaluation of Collected Information: Assessment of reliability, accuracy, and pertinence.
- Dissemination and Use: Sharing the interpreted information.
Activities Involved in the Interpretation of Information
- Assessment: Identifying significant elements.
- Integration: Combining isolated elements to form a picture.
- Deduction: Determining the meaning of information in relation to the situation.
Counter Intelligence
- Measures to protect information, personnel, and installations from espionage, sabotage, and foreign threats.
- Aims/Objectives: Preventing enemy actions, protecting facilities, denying information to the enemy, and detecting threats within one's own forces.
- Measures: Passive (defensive) and active (offensive) countermeasures.
Document Security classification
- Classified material must be handled according to need-to-know principles, depending on the level of risk.
- 4 Levels of Classification (Top Secret, Secret, Confidential, Restricted).
