Effective Intelligence Management for Law Enforcement
Intelligence is an essential part of effective law enforcement.
All police organisations require sophisticated IT applications to be able to gather, analyse, disseminate and manage very large quantities of intelligence-related data.
Multiple imperatives drive the structure of an effective system, and make the management of intelligence a highly complex affair for organisations.
In an effective intelligence management system, all information
- is potentially useful
- should be available in real-time
- must reside in a secure environment
- must be able to be searched, analysed, visualised and shared
The National Intelligence Model (NIM) is a UK requirement
One of the first applications of Memex software was in intelligence-led policing: Memex facilitated the early adoption of the National Intelligence Model (NIM) in 1994 which has since become a world benchmark for Police Intelligence Systems. Memex CIMS is the most advanced intelligence system in the world today.
