Intelligence teams develop a picture of the crime landscape, whether out in the community, in prisons or online.

This includes mapping organised crime groups, understanding the wide array of coordinated criminality, and developing an intelligence picture of how criminal networks are operating across the country.

Teams work closely with officers during live serious and organised crime operations, to provide research and analytical support as well as help to develop and build evidential packages for court.

Those working in intelligence functions also operate within ‘secure’ environments, meaning they can safely work with information and data which may have been obtained covertly.
