It’s not enough to know your community has a problem – it must be clearly understood before you can take the proper action to address it. For example, in 2007, the city of San Diego was dealing with an increase in violence tied to Asian gangs. The first step for the San Diego Police Departmentwas to thoroughly assess the problem before moving forwa...
Once you understand the problem in your community, you need to create easily measurable goals that clearly define what you’re attempting to do. In the SDPD case, the agency understood that to tackle the violence and dismantle the gangs responsible for it, it needed to focus on gang leadership and the “shooters” – the small number of gang members wh...
After defining a goal, the next step is crafting new strategies to achieve that goal. The most important thing to keep in mind about this step is that these strategies need to be designed to directlytackle the problem – using tactics specifically tailored to the issue at hand. The SDPD had tried a number of different, broad law enforcement tactics ...
Information collection that provides substantive insight into crime threats is the core of intelligence-led policing. “Traditional crime analysis and investigations rely on talking to witnesses, talking to victims, talking to the offender or the accused, capturing information related to the incident, those kinds of things,” Carter said. “But the id...
Another key pillar to ILP is active collaboration both internally and with other local, state and federal agencies. It may be a cliché, but it’s true: there is power in numbers. Tackling complex law enforcement issues like terrorism prevention and crime reduction successfully is likelier with a collaborative, coordinated effort. Agencies that partn...
Collaboration is nothing if you’re not sharing information with your partners. Like most of these steps, solutions vary from agency to agency. Information sharing could come in the form of designated sharing systems like RISS (Regional Information Sharing Systems), or it could be in the form of a fusion center. Carter said one of the most effective...
It’s important to think holistically when it comes to ILP. The BJA suggests merging investigations instead of having isolated units focused on one type of crime. Many criminals aren’t specialized in doing one thing. For example, auto theft has been linked to other high-impact, violent crimes. If you were looking at taking a more holistic approach t...
Once you’ve established clearly defined objectives, you need to hold your cops accountable for reaching them. In San Diego, it wasn’t enough to make any gang arrest – every officer was given the specific goal of taking the leadershipand those responsible for the violence off the streets. As a result, gang-related violence fell dramatically in the c...
As with any new initiatives, it’s important to keep reviewing the ILP program and strategies you’ve implemented. Don’t let things become stagnant; diminishing returns are avoided by constantly evolving and tweaking your ILP program. According to Carter, your agency should be asking these questions: 1. Are we getting the information we want? 2. Do w...
Finally, a long-term, sustainable ILP initiative is obviously dependent on the support of leadership – even through a change in leadership. The BJA found this to be a primary concern among all 10 agencies they surveyed, and many of them addressed this issue by having an internal succession plan that ensured the incoming leadership had already commi...
Intelligence-led policing is a business model and managerial philosophy where data analysis and crime intelligence are pivotal to an objective, decision-making framework that facilitates crime and problem reduction, disruption and prevention through both strategic management and effective enforcement strategies that target prolific and serious o...

Aug 28, 2018 · Intelligence-led policing (ILP) is a managerial law enforcement model that seeks to place crime intelligence at the forefront of decision-making. This model has been widely adopted, at least notionally, in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

For the last three years, the OSCE Transnational Threats Department (TNTD) has been promoting intelligence-led policing (ILP) as a modern and proactive approach to law enforcement. ILP uses information and data for evidence-based decision-making and planning, leading to more effective and efficient police work.
Jul 25, 2020 · Intelligence-led policing emphasises analysis and intelligence as pivotal to an objective, decision-making framework that prioritises crime hot spots, repeat victims, prolific offenders and criminal groups.
Dec 5, 2008 · Abstract. Policing in the post-9/11 era is experiencing a philosophical change that is expanding community- and problem-oriented policing to include the broader philosophy of intelligence-led policing (ILP). Building on the British experience, the application of ILP to American policing has been complicated by a number of challenges.
