Abstract
Police
intelligence is an integral part of any policing investigation. Police intelligence needs to be both
proactive as well as reactive. The role
of the intelligence analyst starts before the crime occurs and continues
throughout the entire investigation and prosecution. Intelligence analysis is a complex task
restrained by human limitations, ineffective analytical tools and environmental
factors. The advance of intelligence-led
policing strategies requires strategic intelligence utilising the appropriate
personnel, research methods, analysis tools, project management, and
performance evaluation of the methods, tools and the people. This presentation highlights some of the
requirements of police intelligence and the environmental factors that impact
on the intelligence process.

Abstract
The
nature of analysis, specifically intelligence analysis, is complex. An understanding
or lack thereof of these complexities often directly impacts whether tools and
interfaces will succeed or fail, in terms of adoption and use by a user
population. From an analyst, analyst advocate and technologist point of view,
this talk discusses the complex issue of analysis and
analysts, examples of failures in the development, transfer
and adoption process and suggests some pointers for avenues to success, drawing
on a background specifically in intelligence analysis.
