Government / Politics | | English term or phrase: routine dedicated analytical capability | Hello everyone,
This new methodology starts with a strategic picture of the nature of the problem (a corporate understanding of everything that is known about the who, what, where, how, why and when involved in drug trafficking), the construction of teams to address specific operational needs, specific information gathering resources, a routine dedicated analytical capability and a participative management structure. The latter has evolved from standard police ‘supervision’ practice to one that manages the deployment of resources using a variety of tactics according to the intelligence picture presented. Of course, such an infrastructure is expensive and challenging for a country with limited resources and there will also be legal issues. The threat of corruption has the potential to negate such investments and will always be a crucial strategic issue. But the reality is that in the absence of such a development, opportunities for success will be limited to technical assistance to identify concealed consignments, the ability of individual officers to identify traffickers at ‘pinch points’ such as border crossing points or such information as can be forthcoming from informants or public.
Does "routine dedicated analytical capability" means development of a standard potential/capability to anylise information?
Thank you. |

| | standard dedicated analytical office/team/facility | Explanation:
The word routine here would mean standard, but the capability in this context would mean an actual intelligence division or intelligence squad/officie/facility. That would mean an investment in both personnel and equiptment for intelligence analysis. |
