This guide is intended to provide fundamental information about the contemporary law enforcement intelligence function in its application to SLTLE agencies. The guide embodies the intelligence-led policing philosophy, demonstrating how it complements community policing already in use by American law enforcement. It also incorporates the principles, ideology, and standards of both the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan and the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative.
