Many organisations come into possession of confidential information or intelligence. Making use of this intelligence is often essential and perhaps, from a legal or ethical standpoint, obligatory. However many dilemmas are raised about how to safely retain and process the material.
• What does your organisation do when someone wishes to pass information confidentially? How do you record it? How do you ethically protect the source’s identity?
• How does your organisation make use of intelligence on a strategic and tactical level?
• How can you be sure that your resources are performing to the optimum?
• How can you interface better with the police service and other bodies when sharing intelligence and working together on investigations?
To deal with these issues and many more UK police forces have been mandated to the use the National Intelligence Model (NIM) since 2004. The NIM promotes intelligence led-activity on a national basis and was introduced to standardise intelligence-related structures, processes and practices across all police services in England and Wales. It is a ‘business process’ that seeks to rationalise the way in which the police handle information and deploy their resources.
There are other organisations that receive information and intelligence during the course of their daily business and investigations.
The National Intelligence Model is fully transferrable to non-police organisations. It is already in use amongst many other public and private sector groups and has proved to be highly effective for managing investigations. This is particularly so when trying to understand parallel issues relating to risk, impact and cost.
