The Force Intelligence Unit is responsible for collating, analysing and disseminating intelligence from various sources, including police officers, other partner agencies and the general public.
The focal work of this unit is to utilise the intelligence in the most productive way to reduce crime and disorder, with intelligence checked, graded and then disseminated to operational policing units so that they can take effective action through surveillance, targeted patrols or obtaining search warrants against offenders and their premises. The unit also coordinates communications and investigative research requests between officers and other agencies both locally as well as internationally.
