The assessment requires students to explain and outline the information/intelligence process through to the ‘respond’ element of the SARA model in the context of community intelligence linked to terrorism or linked criminality. The essay will develop knowledge and understanding, reflective analysis and effective problem solving, communication and application. Evidence of enquiry to gain knowledge and understanding, communication skills to present to the assessors and reflection on their performance and application will be utilised to problem solve a set of circumstances. The essay is linked to learning outcomes 1,2,3,4,5.

This module will enable students to build on their knowledge and understanding from Introduction to Information & Intelligence (level 4) and be supported to apply and further explore these important pillars of policing delivery. There will be a significant focus on the National Intelligence Model and National Briefing Model. The importance of partnership working, data protection, information sharing, problem solving and the development of ethical and legal sources of information will be explored in detail and placed in the context of police operations. The importance and relevance of community intelligence to tackle terrorism and linked criminality (including money laundering, fraud and identity theft) will be a theme running through this module.

This module will cover:
• Planning interventions to tackle issues and problems
• The role and functions of intelligence in counter-terrorism
• The links between terrorism and other forms of criminality
• Information and intelligence held by other agencies
• Data protection and data managements regulations and protocols
