intelligence-led policing

Intelligence-led policing is a strategic approach where police use detailed data and analysis to target criminal activity more effectively. By gathering information about crimes, suspects, and patterns, officers can focus resources on high-risk areas or individuals. This approach aims to prevent and solve crimes more efficiently, rather than relying solely on responding to incidents after they happen. It emphasizes proactive planning, using intelligence to make informed decisions and allocate resources where they’re needed most, ultimately enhancing community safety.
