ILP Principles
What is intelligence-led policing?
•
Intelligence-led policing…
– – is a management philosophy/business model aims to achieve crime reduction and prevention and to disrupt offender activity – – employs a top-down management approach combines crime analysis and criminal intelligence into crime intelligence – uses crime intelligence to objectively direct police resource decisions –
focuses enforcement activities on prolific and serious offenders
What It Is and Is Not
Intelligence Led Policing is A business model for managing law enforcement demand; About improved allocation of resources; A strategic approach to crime and problems; A decision - action model.
Intelligence Led Policing is not A technique just for specialized units or investigators; Only a tool for counter terrorism; Solely about information sharing; A way to support investigations.
Why Should the You Change to Adopt the ILP Model?
The Reality:
Resource constraints dictate that police forces cannot deliver every item on the public’s policing wish list and must instead decide service delivery priorities.
ILP offers the best capacity for the your agency to meet the commitment to provide for the greatest degree of safety and security of citizens in the most effective manner possible.
The Initial Changes at HCSO
DIII ILP Testing
Auto Theft Task Force -Mission
High visibility saturation of high crime areas
Zero Tolerance
Targeting Acura and Honda products
Late evening/early morning hours
Robbery Task Force -Mission
High visibility saturation and zero tolerance targeting high crime areas.
Surveillance at offense locations.
Manpower was split between late evening hours (areas) and early morning hours (offense locations).
Burglary Task Force -Mission
High visibility saturation and zero tolerance targeting of high Burglary related crime areas.
Manpower was split between late evening hours (Business and Vehicle Burglaries) and daytime hours (Residential Burglaries).
Lessons Learned
Task Force/saturation approach has limited, short-term value.
Small number of offenders committing majority of crimes.
Each operation resulted in 400+ arrests which bogged down courts and prosecutors.
Focused approach, targeting Known criminals and high crime locations worked.
Lessons Learned (cont.)
Multi-faceted approach
–
Detectives, Patrol Deputies and Analyst
– –
Tracking of crimes and criminals Gathering intelligence
–
Communications flow in all directions
Empowering and encouraging deputies to be proactive and creative
Be willing to try different/new ideas
District III Re-organizes
District III ILP Created
District Intelligence unit composed of 5 detectives, 1 analyst, and supervised by a single sergeant.
Street crimes unit is divided into two squads with a sergeant, corporal and 8 deputies each.
District property detectives remain the same but now work more closely with street crimes and ILP detectives
Expectations of the DIU
Compile daily brief.
Identify crime trends.
Develop actionable information.
Complete pertinent alerts.
Develop/maintain target lists.
Develop/maintain intelligence/CI information.
Disseminate above items to all components of the HCSO.
Greater emphasis is placed on crime analysis and analytical products they produce.
Expectations of Street Crime Unit
Assist in the scrubbing of target lists.
Offender contacts.
Conduct surveillance of targeted offenders.
Conduct operations within targeted areas.
Take law enforcement action on reasonable suspicion and probable cause.
Locate and incarcerate identified offenders.
County Wide Implementation
County Wide Implementation
The LINC centrally manages the flow of intelligence Standards developed for ILP processes at district level Created two SAO Liaison Detectives to monitor prolific offender cases Centralized all crime tips under the LINC Began mining the jail for intelligence RMS changes to accommodate ILP processes Decreased reliance on stand alone database Automated Intelligence flow Trained detectives in Insite (Intelligence database) Further Involved Crime Analysts in the flow
County Wide Implementation
ILP Conference Call
–
DIU’s, LINC, CID, SID, Aviation, Marine
–
Deconfliction
–
Ensure the proper focus of targets
ILP Biweekly Meeting
–
Supervisors and the LINC
–
Ensure ILP is being implemented appropriately
–
Discuss needs and direction of transition
County Wide Implementation
TCG Meetings (Tactical Coordination Group)
–
Districts host each month
–
Supervisory ILP personnel invited
–
Focus is on District ILP initiatives
–
Discuss cases and crime trends
SCG Meetings (Strategic Coordination Group)
–
Command level personnel only
–
Discuss agency priorities and initiatives
–
Discuss agency redirection of resources
The Next Level
Intelligence-Led Policing
Basic Principles
Focus on High priority offenders, criminal organizations and crime problems Proactive (versus reactive)
Analytics Drive Deployment Information Sharing & Collaboration Integration of information systems
Increased use of intelligence, surveillance and informants to target recidivist offenders
Organizational structure places the intelligence arm within the decision-making process
The TIN Teams
Tactical Intelligence Team
Two squads (East and West)
One Sergeant and Corporal per squad
12 Detectives per squad (6 per district)
Detectives will be a mixture of vice, narcotics, and gangs personnel
The TIN Teams
Tactical Intelligence Team
–
Responsibility: To identify and target HPO’s that affect their geographic area of assignment (District aligned)
–
Methodology: To utilize the nexus of narcotics, gangs, and vice for the purposes of gathering intelligence to identify High Priority Offenders and their activities
–
Focus is on reduction of Part I Crimes: Robbery, Burglary, Auto Theft, Larceny
Intel Coordination Unit
1 Sergeant and Corporal
4 Intel Coordination Groups (8 Detectives and 4 Analysts) (LINC/SOS Detectives)
Career Criminal (Detective) Gang Intel (2 Detectives) Specialized/Jail Intel (2 Detectives)
SAO Liaisons (2 Detectives) Tip Coordination Unit (Deputy/Researcher)
2 Intelligence Analysts (Wilson/Bennink)
ICU/LINC Organizational Framework Special Investigations Division Major ICU Sergeant Corporal Specialized Intel/Gang Group Specialized Intel (5) Gang (6) Intel Coordination Group Detective Coordinators (8) Corporal Working Intel Group Coordinator (1) Analyst (1) Crime Stoppers (1) Assistant (1) Career Criminal Detective (1) Working Intel Detectives (2) Jail Intel Group Detective Intel Agents (2) Detention Coordinators (2) Prosecutor Liaison Group SAO Detective Liaison (2) USAO Detective Liaison (1)
Intel Coordination Groups
Responsibilities:
–
To facilitate the flow of information from the TIN Teams into the analysis cycle and provide vetted feedback
–
To intake all data within geographic area of responsibility; compare it to control strategies, and provide collection requirements for all of SID personnel
–
To generate intelligence products that drive resource deployment (operational targeting)
Framework for Flexibility
This format is ‘plug and play’ No matter what the HCSO crime priorities are, intelligence gathering efforts will remain the same
–
Constant collectors in drug, vice and gang communities
–
Collection requirements change with emerging trends
–
Numerous resources devoted to information collection Getting ahead of crime
–
Providing an interpretation of crime problems that affect the county (Answering question that support decision making)
Intelligence-Led Policing
Expected Benefits
More effective and efficient deployment of limited personnel and budget resources Greater impact on crime/public safety within the districts Reduction in agency Part 1 crime levels Increased coordination among multi-specialty investigative resources More effective intelligence gathering, analysis, and dissemination Better success at incapacitating high-priority offenders, dismantling criminal organizations, and abating high priority crime problems
High Priority Offenders
HPO’s
Career Criminals
Habitual Felony Offender – Three Felony Convictions – From Three Separate Incidents – New Charge within Five Years of Last Conviction or Prison Release Habitual Violent Felony Offender – Three Felony Convictions – From Three Separate Incidents – One Violent Felony Conviction – New Charge within Five Years of Last Conviction or Prison Release
Career Criminals
3 Time Violent Felony Offender – Three Felony Convictions – From Three Separate Incidents – Two Violent Felony Convictions – New Charge within Five Years of Last Conviction or Prison Release Gort Violent Career Criminal – Three Violent Felony Convictions – From Three Separate Incidents – Prior Incarceration in Prison – New Charge within Five Years of Last Conviction or Prison Release
PPO
Prolific or Other Priority Offender – Active project to determine guidelines – Persons not statutorily defined that we suspect are consistently driving our crime rate Not just suspect from previous night crime spree Reasonable suspicion that the person is actively and continuously driving crime
Deconfliction
Definition
Deconfliction is a military and engineering term that refers to the process of avoiding mutual interference, or outright hazards, among systems under the control of one's own sides. It is most often used in the context of preventing fratricide , or having weapons hit one's own troops, but it has broader implications.
Morning Call
What it is: – Occurs at 0900 every day – Involves SID, DIU’s, CID, Crime Analysis, TPD (multiple districts), TTPD, USFPD, and more – Purpose is to deconflict efforts between multiple entities within the HCSO – Only discuss who you are targeting and where you will be targeting What it is not: – A forum for discussing the blotter
ILP Investigative Lead
Purpose
The purpose is for any deputy to document information that is NON EVIDENTIARY but may have future intelligence value We want all deputies to put valuable information that they know about criminals in this report to prevent them from keeping good info in their head
The Intelligence Cycle at HCSO
The Intelligence Cycle Defined.
The traditional intelligence cycle is a concept that describes the process by which raw information is processed and disseminated as finished intelligence.
The Intelligence Cycle at HCSO
Planning, Direction, Develop Strategy, Prepare collection requirements Disseminate Finished Intelligence Products for Use in Enforcement Actions This process occurs within the LINC Squad Analysis of Intelligence to determine relevance to current strategy Processing of Information into Intelligence Collection of Raw information
Example #1
Grow House information received from a patrol officer
Finished intel is assigned to Major Violators unit for action
SID District 1 District 2 CID District 3 District 4
Example #2
Firearms Market: Strategy is set by command staff to reduce part 1 violent crimes. SID staff looks specifically at the stolen firearms market.
Collection Requirement
Crime Analysis works with Major and Captain and determines that stolen firearms are becoming a problem in Hillsborough County To fully understand the problem they develop a collection requirement for all intelligence collectors to provide information on the stolen firearms market (Who? What? Where? When? Why?)
Raw information is collected and sent back to LINC SID District 1 Finished intelligence is sent out agency wide for enforcement action District 2 CID District 3 District 4
Crime Analysis Unit Re-organizes in 2009
CAU pre-2009
Organized under Research & Development Bureau, Department of Support Services Heavy emphasis on strategic research Considerable resources devoted to: – Research reports – Compiling CRIME reports (old COMPSTAT) – Making maps – Compiling statistics and information – Investigative support (no analysis) Identification of crime patterns and trends occurred as resources allowed Identifying unknown subject(s), associations or targets was minimal
CAU pre-2009 continued
Resources spent answering many non analytical questions – How many? (burglaries, thefts, sex predators, vehicle stops, citations, etc.) Data entry and management of spreadsheets and databases (primarily for other users) “Everything to everyone”
CAU June 2009
Reorganized – moved under Special Investigations Division (SID) – Reporting directly to division commander (Major) – Influence on agency operations enhanced CAU Manager decision-making empowered – Ability to say “NO” Duties and responsibilities re-directed towards analytics – Identification of crime patterns, trends and problem-analysis – Identification of High Priority Offenders for targeting and surveillance Limited emphasis on statistical data compilation and map making – General philosophy is when the information provided influences decision-making or policy it has relevance – Information Services Division (ISD) involvement in creation and distribution of data reports
CAU – Current Operations
Access to RMS – report writing capabilities – ILP Investigative Lead, General Report, Street Checks (Field Interview module), Flagged Records, add follow-ups Crime mapping limited to necessary documents for decision-makers and geo-spatial analysis – GIS Portal Involved in the circular flow of raw information and intelligence obtained through numerous sources – Tips and leads – Confidential Informants – Surveillance Logs – Undercover Operations Analysts work in partnership with detectives (not for them)
