INTELLIGENCE LED POLICING - DEFINED

IALEIA worked with the US Bureau of Justice Assistance, local and state police officials and noted academics in the field to develop this definition of ILP:

"Executive implementation of the INTELLIGENCE CYCLE to support proactive decision making for resource allocation and crime prevention"

What did IALEIA say to the Chiefs?

IALEIA Officers Lisa Palmieri, Ed Polachek and Tom Nowak delivered a workshop on Intelligence Led Policing to a room full of police chiefs at the International Association of Chiefs of Police on November. The Director of Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) Donald Dixon, and his Deputy, Bud Garrick, provided an implementation strategy to round out the workshop. Based on requests, we are posting the IALEIA presentation slides here. If you have any questions, please reach out to us directly.

The Lockwood Analytic Method for Prediction (LAMP)

American Military University sponsors a site for the Lockwood Analytic Method for Prediction (LAMP). Dr. Jonathan Lockwood is the program director for the graduate intelligence studies program at AMU. The site is designed as a primer for those who are using or interested in learning more about the LAMP method. The LAMP method is an approach that assists analysts in overcoming some of the obstacles and shortcomings of traditional quantitative methods in predicting future events. This resource provides analysts and intelligence professionals an overview and access to resources about analytic prediction.
