What is the intelligence cycle
Direction, Collection, Evaluation, Collation, Analysis, Dissemination and Review
It is not unitary but comprised of multiple cycles of various size and speed
Describe the direction stage
Intent. These requirements are identified by commanders and decision makers or by intelligence through the scanning process or the identification leads
Describe the collection stage
Is the directed focused gathering of information to meet intelligence requirements
Describe the evaluation stage
Is the process of assessing data and information for reliability and credibility
Describe the collation stage
Is the process of receiving logging storing and cross referencing information so that it can be easily located and retrieved for analysis
Describe the analysis stage
Is the converting of raw information into an intelligence product by breaking down that information into it’s component facts and inferences, then integrating these with existing information and intelligence holdings to identify patterns and trends
Describe the dissemination stage
The communication and distribution of raw or finished information or intelligence to decision makers and consumers
What is the review stage
Is the task of examining intelligence processes and products to determine their effectiveness and the responses in terms of their effect on the criminal environment.
