These nine articles examine intelligence-led policing, a model of policing in which intelligence is a guide to operations, and discuss the use of this model in different police agencies and settings in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Europe.
Abstract
The first article explains the role of analysis as the core element in intelligence-led policing and discusses the types of analyses needed, data sources, and analytic methods. Additional articles discuss the role of analysis in the Kent Policing Model of the Kent Constabulary in England, trends and events that will influence the future of State intelligence programs in the United States, and the intelligence program of the Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. Further articles discuss the use of criminal intelligence in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, intelligence-led policing in the European Union, and the use of information technology in intelligence-led policing. The final article describes the initial steps in developing intelligence-led policing.
