Role of the Intelligence Practitioner
The role of the intelligence practitioner is to collect, analyse and interpret information and then provide insight and feedback into a problem. Intelligence Practitioners look for links between a wide variety of intelligence sources to work out what is going on, and make recommendations on how to stop it. Intelligence practitioners produce intelligence documents outlining issues, trends and risks that have been identified through the analysis of information and data. It is imperative that intelligence documents provide the decision-makers with insight on current issues.
Intelligence Practitioners working for Victoria Police must anticipate what is likely to impact community safety in the future in order to prevent future incidents from occurring. For example, an Intelligence Practitioner working for Victoria Police may analyse information about who is committing crimes, how, when, where and why. The aim of this is to move policing from a ‘reactionary’ investigation to a

To accomplish this task I use a variety of sources to gather information, such as LEAP, Interpose, Information Reports and Incident Facts Sheets. I also use SASEG to search and collect crime data from LEAP that is specific to our divisional priorities. I then analyse all these data sources by looking for patterns or trends in regard to location, time, offence type and days of the week. I also look for any incidents that may be on-going, that may escalate or attract considerable attention. I am aiming to try and understand the nature of any identified problems, including any future implications. I then produce a succinct and easy to read report, which once completed is then forwarded to Tasking and Coordination so that the process of responding effectively can
Task 4: Explain when and why the inquiries and serious case review processes are required, issues of how to share findings and implications for the worker's practice.
IPL has little universal consensus of its definition. To fully and comprehensively define IPL there are some considerations to account for as well as an understanding of its history. The core component of IPL is ‘intelligence and Warner claims ‘intelligence’ definitions are deficient because they often do not consider the interchangeability of intelligence within the field, it is used because ‘intelligence’ not only covers what intelligence personnel do but also the product of their work. ‘Intelligence’ and
Directing 30 Rock, writing for Saturday Night Live, and taking care of her newly born child certainly did not stop Tina Fey from writing a book. With years of being in the television business, the comedian decided to test out the literature field with an autobiography titled Bossypants. The book talks about her childhood adventures, how she became a writer for Saturday Night Live, and what directing 30 Rock was like.
Bullet 1: An intelligence analyst is usually a government employee, but can also be an opportunity available for civilians. Their main focus is to assemble information from many different sources, like a puzzle, with a goal of spotting threats or preventing incoming attacks from parties outside or sometimes inside the investigative team. Intelligence analysts are usually employed based on their particular focus area, whether it is public information, or private information that must be accessed through hacking. Most of the career is computer-based and will be set in an office setting. There is usually a team of these analysts who are required to

In preparation for my debate on the topics of intelligence-led policing and Compstat policing, I have discovered the many advantages and disadvantages of using intelligence-led policing and Compstat policing. According to Carter & Carter (2009), intelligence-led policing is the collection of and analysis of data relating to crime, used by law enforcement in “developing tactical responses to threats and/or strategic planning related to emerging changing threats” (p. 317). When applied correctly, intelligence-led policing is a tool used for information sharing in identifying threats and developing responses to prevent those threats from reaching fruition (Carter, 2011). One of the advantages of using intelligence-led policing is its incorporation of data analysts. The role of the data analyst in the context of intelligence-led policing allows them to take specially trained analysts to take raw data from information found in reports and translate it into useful information for the officers, allowing the police to deploy resources more effectively and efficiently (Griffiths, 2016). Another advantage is its application through preventative and predictive policing (proactive policing), in which law enforcement take data and identify crucial variables such as terrorism or the emergence of criminal organizations, in hopes of stopping the problem at its roots (Carter, 2011). Terrorism is especially important and emphasized after the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers in
Intelligence-led policing can be traced back to the United Kingdom (UK). In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the UK saw an increase in crime, domestic terrorist threats, and was also being pushed towards being more fiscal conservative. One of the first applications of ILP occurred in 1995 by Chief Constable Sir David Phillips of the Kent Police. He was seeking to institute a more strategic approach to problem-solving by promoting greater intelligence gathering allocating resources toward proactive criminal intelligence analysis. These efforts focused more towards burglary and vehicle theft, and looked to move beyond reactive responses to specific incidents. The actions performed
The new aged concept of intelligence-led policing seems to be the ultimate answer for advancing criminal activity leading the United States. Everything new though, comes with its fair share of disadvantages and challenges. Some of the disadvantages argued against using this predicative method of policing includes the argument of limited resources, political pressure, information management, data overload, data quality, and adaptation (Casady, 2011 p. 10). Reporting indicates that there is a growing public need for information. The increasing fragmentation of the community, fear and insecurity and the growth of the risk society have generated a massive requirement for increased security and knowledge contributing to political pressure, along
The United States Intelligence community draws on advanced technology and analytical techniques. An intelligence process that sets objectives, collects, analyzes, and report findings, with feedback loops integrated throughout. Explicitly, the intelligence community advantages technology and tradecraft within a proscribed process. However, estimation of threats and decision-making are outcomes of human thinking. Analysts and policymakers create mental models, or short cuts to manage complex, changing environments. In other words, to make sense of ambiguous or uncertain situations, humans form cognitive biases. Informed because of personal experience, education, and specifically applied to intelligence analysis, Davis
Intelligence-led policing is one of the main global issues and important factor that the police service are faced with in today’s modern society in particular the Queensland Police Service. Intelligence-led policing is explained through a various different sources in literature, which explain the definition and issues surrounding intelligence-led policing, the main fundamental structures that support and make up intelligence-led policing and the role it has played in information communication technologies, organised crime and transnational organised crime. There is also a link seen between the literature of intelligence-led policing and organisational documents such as annual reports, legislation's and strategic plans which have been put forwards
In most cases these INTs community compete among each other to provide needed intelligence information to policy makers to justify their budgetary allocations (Lowenthal, 2014). However, intelligence collection can be divided into five main categories referred to as “intelligence collection disciplines” or the “INTs”. These include Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Signals Intelligence
and so forth, to identify crime patterns, clusters, suspects, and hot spots. Strategies are then
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” (Hemingway). There are a number passages in Hemingway's letters which point to an interdependence between Hemingway and his fictional characters. In is most of his stories, he writes about not just fictional events but actual real life events that he has either witnessed or been a part of. Hemingway wrote most of his short stories in a very minimalistic style in which he later became famous for. One of Hemingway’s works where you see this is in “The Old Man at the Bridge”. At just two pages in length, "The Old Man at the Bridge"is one of Hemingway's shortest tales. Another one of his works where
The analysis is then given to consumers and policy makers, once it is checked by the analyst supervisor and peers. The analyst should also be ready to give a briefing on short notice. But both the analyst and the policy maker or consumer have to be aware of at all times, is that the intelligence field does not know everything. “On any given subject, the intelligence community faces what is in effect a field of rocks, and it lacks the resources to turn over every one to see what threats to national security may lurk underneath” (Pillar).
