3i Model.

Draw the 3i model taking care of the direction of the arrows.

  1. What is Criminal Environment element linked to?
  2. What is Intelligence element linked to?
  3. What is Decision makers element linked to?

Q

Intelligence cycle.

Responses: The SARA Problem solving model defines responses as what? (6)

SARA: USA 1980 by John Eck.

A
  1. Brainstorming (new interventions)
  2. Searching for what other communities with similar problems have done.
  3. Choosing among alternative interventions
  4. Outline response plan, and identifying responsible parties
  5. State specific objects for response plan
  6. Carry out planned activities.
17
Q

Intelligence cycle.

The fundamental tenet of dissemination is to get the intel to those who need it, and have a right to use it in whatever form is deemed most appropriate, and in a timely manner. Police disseminates intel through verbal briefings and four standard intelligence product types. What are the 4 standard product types? (4)

A
  1. Core Intel products - Strategic and tactical assessments and prolem and subject profiles.
  2. Knowledge Products - provides an overview of a general topic or issue and highlights current knowledge and specific areas of concern or priority.
  3. Analytical Products - such as pattern analysis, crash analysis, road trauma, risk profile, road user analysis…
  4. Frontline Intelligence (FLINT) - Subject profiles, intel reports, special notices.
18
Q

Intelligence Cycle.

Linking products and decision-making:

Decision makers generally are not intelligence professionals. How can we link intel products and decision-making? (9)

A
  1. Know who the key decision-makers are and how to influence them.
  2. Decision makers need clear, straightforward advice, free of jargon and complexity.
  3. Pick the right presentation style and format. Henry Mintzberg: “It is more important for the manager to get information quickly and efficiently than to get it formally.”
  4. Decision-makers are faced with multiple competing demands.
  5. Know what is important
  6. Seek clarity on what decision-makers expect
  7. Focus on people and context.De Bono: “If you are interesting people will want to be with you. People will seek your company. People will enjoy talking to you.”
  8. Key decision-makers may be outside the immediate polciing environment.
  9. Be aware of constraints on decision-makers.
