Police Intelligence
➢ General Classification of Sources of Information
➢ The Intelligence Cycle

Prepared by: Kiven M. Geonzon


Terminologies
• Information- are raw data or unevaluated material of every description
derived from observation, communication, reports, rumors, imagination
and other sources.

• Intelligence Information- refers to any information gathered or received


which is of intelligence interest.

• End Products- these are results after evaluation, analysis,


interpretation, and integration of raw materials.

• Activity- are product of that knowledge after collection, processing,


dissemination and use.

• Organization- refers to intelligence personnel or the intelligence unit


itself.

• Sources- refers to where/whom/which the information was obtained.


General Classification of Sources of Information
• Open Sources- the information may be obtained
from news files, libraries, magazines, books, or
non-classified files in certain public or private
offices.

• Close Sources- they can be located inside a


building, safe or vaults.
Other Sources of Information
• Routine patrol
• Criminal investigation
• Use of informants
• Interrogation
• Search and seizures
• Checkpoints
• Police public relations activities
• Coordination with law enforcement agencies
• Inmates of various jails
Intelligence Cycle
- It is the process through which intelligence is
obtained, produced, and made available to
users.

Mission – is the focal point of the intelligence


operations
- A particular task given to a person or
group to carry out or one should be
accomplished
Phases of Intelligence Cycle
Phase 1- Directing Collection Effort
-In this phase, the Intel Staff Officer or
Unit Commander determines the required
or important information relevant to
mission.
DETERMINATION OF THE INTELLIGENCE
REQUIREMENTS
1. Categories of Intelligence Requirements in Relation to Use

• Executive- intelligence is required by executive, governmental


and military commanders.

• Contributory – intelligence is required to complete the staff


process

• Operational- Decisions and policy requires implementation.

• Collateral- higher or adjacent echelons of the government or


military establishment may require information.
2. Categories of Intelligence Requirements by Type

• Basic- general reference materials to be use in planning


regarding the enemies or potential enemies, area of the
operations and capabilities.

• Current- temporary in nature and narrower in scope.


Information required to cope up with the current
objectives.

• Estimative Intelligence- determines the future courses of


action; required by the executives to plan future military
operations and policies.
ESTABLISHMENT OF PRIORITIES
- It is necessary to decide which items of
information are more important
Phase 2- Collecting of Information

- In this phase, the collecting agency determines what


specific information is to be collected, by whom. After
the collecting activity is carried out, the collected
information is then submitted for processing.

• Collection Agency- any person, unit, or activity that


collects and or processed information by research,
surveillance, or the exploitation of the source of
information.
Criteria for Collecting Agencies/Units:

• Capability- an agency must be physically capable of providing


the desired information in a timely manner.

• Balance- within time limits imposed by other considerations,


the collection workload must be balanced from among the
collecting agencies.

• Multiplicity- evaluation of information requires that it must be


compared with the information received from other sources
and agencies.

• Suitability- the collection task assigned to a unit must be


compatible with its primary mission.
Two Basic Collection Strategies
• Resource integration- one agent

• Agent Mixed Redundancy- 3 or more agents


assessing for the same assignment
Who is tasked to collect information?

• Civilian agents- informers and informants

• Assets- establishment of institution which


assists in providing information.
Methods of Collection
•Overt- open
•Covert- secret
Trade Crafts and some instruments
used in the Collection
• Photography
• Surveillance
• Elicitation
• Interview
• Interrogation
• Personnel Security investigation
• Sound Equipment (tapping and bugging)
• Use of an artist
• Surreptitious entry
• Communication
Factors to be Considered in
Collection Planning
• Personality- persons involved, suspects, social
status, etc.
• Organization- group committing the crime
• Resources/Equipment- used in committing the
crime
• Activity- modus operandi/crime activities, time
attack, victims, place of attack, etc.
Phase 3- Processing the collected
information
- It is this phase in the intelligence cycle in which information
becomes intelligence.

• Recording- is the reduction of information into writing or


some other form of graphical representation and the
arranging of this information into groups of related items.

• Evaluation- is the determination of the pertinence of the


information to the operation reliability of the source or of the
agency; the accuracy of the information; examination of raw
information to determine intelligence value.
Things to be considered during
evaluation
• Pertinence (Usefulness)
• Reliability (dependable)
• Accuracy (truth of information)
Evaluation Guide
Reliability of Information Accuracy of Information Sources of Information
(CUFNUR) (CPPDIT)
A- Completely reliable 1- Confirmed by other sources T- direct observation by the
B- Usually reliable 2- Probably true commander and chief of a
C- Fairly Reliable 3- Possibly true unit
D- Not usually reliable 4- Doubtfully true U- reports by penetration
E- Unreliable 5- Improbable/Improbably true agent or resident agent
F- Reliability cannot be 6- Truth cannot be judged V- Report by PNP/AFP troops
judged involved in encounter
W- Interrogation of captured
enemy agent/foreigner
X- Observation of
government and civilian
employee or official
Y- Observation by a member
of the populace
Z- Documentary
• Interpretation- is the process of establishing the meaning and
significance of information. It involves the following:

➢Analysis- refers to the determination of significance of


information relative to the information

➢Integration- is the combination of the elements stated in the


assessment with other known information

➢Deduction- refers to the formulation of conclusions from the


theory developed, tested and considered valid
Phase 4- Dissemination and Use
The primary purpose of timely dissemination is:
• To enable the commander to make decisions with confidence

Two Principles Preclude the Release of Intelligence


• First, there must be the “NEED TO KNOW” on the part of the
recipient.
• Secondly, a potential recipient should be “CLEARED” by
responsible authority as being eligible to receive the
intelligence data.
Methods of Dissemination
• Fragmentary orders from top to bottom of the command
• Memorandum, circulars, special orders, etc.
• Operations order, oral or written
• Conference
• Other report and intelligence documents
• Personal contact (use of telephone call, personal visits, and
debriefings)
• Messages (use of radio, messengers or couriers, or by rapid
means of signal communication)
Criteria of Dissemination
• Timeliness (on time)
• Propriety (clear, concise and complete)
