Title: Intelligence-Led Policing as a Framework for Responding to Terrorism
Journal: Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice  Volume:23  Issue:2  Dated:May 2007  Pages:142-158
Author(s): Edmund F. McGarrell; Joshua D. Freilich; Steven Chermak
Date Published: May 2007
Annotation: This article develops a model of intelligence-led policing (ILP) that offers a reliable response to terrorism.
Abstract: The main argument is that while ILP has traditionally been viewed as a specialized police function, the greatest potential for responding to terrorism lies in a very broad application of ILP. The authors show how a broad conceptualization of ILP that incorporates community policing, problem-solving policing, a continuous improvement managerial philosophy, and an “all crimes” focus provides the best model for combating terrorist threats. The integrated model of ILP presented here requires the following identifiable components: (1) commitment of the leadership; (2) a multiunit, multiagency structure; and (3) cooperation with the community. Illustrations are offered of how the best practices identified in responding to gang violence, drug trafficking, and organized crime can successfully be applied to counter domestic and international terrorism. In making this argument, the authors discuss the history of ILP as well as the community policing movement and the problem-solving policing model. Several ILP projects are described, including Project Safe Neighborhoods and the Boston Gun Project. Next, the authors outline how ILP can be used to respond to domestic and international terrorism. The greatest challenge to implementing ILP in the fight against terrorism is described as conceptual, meaning that the law enforcement community does not know exactly how to implement ILP because of the lack of a clear understanding of what ILP entails. Through the type of ILP model presented here, which incorporates community policing, problem-solving, and partnerships all within an “all crimes” framework, it is expected that ILP will move to the point of evidence-based practice that improves the effectiveness of law enforcement.
