Intelligence

"In Intelligence work, there are limits to the amount of information one can share. Confidentiality is essential".

-Gijs de Vries

 

        The Intelligence Section of the PNP is tasked to gather and analyze information useful to law enforcement. Identify the use of different methods such as interrogation and learn about Miranda warnings and exceptions to this rule. 

​

            The purpose of gathering police intelligence is to identify individuals or group of individuals in an effort to anticipate, prevent, or monitor possible criminal activity. 

​

         Intelligence-led policing allows police departments to utilize data and information in order to better evaluate crime trends and issues, thus allowing decision-makers to efficiently and effectively allocate resources and develop anti-crime strategies. Police departments can incorporate a decision-making system where information about crimes, crime trends, and specific groups of offenders is analyzed and paired with strategies to properly direct troops and resources in a specific targeted effort for the purpose of reducing, eliminating, and preventing criminal issues and offenders.
