The role of analysis in a law enforcement agency is to support the investigative, planning, and intelligence activities of the agency. Thus, the work that is performed by an intelligence function should reflect the priorities and the goals of the specific agency or organization. With this understood, the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) Intelligence Working Group (GIWG) requested the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts (IALEIA) develop analyst standards on its behalf as stated in the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan (NCISP) by June 2004. The NCISP requests development of minimum standards for intelligence analysis to ensure intelligence products are accurate, timely, factual, and relevant and recommend implementing policy. The NCISP recommended that all agencies adopt the minimum standard for intelligence-led policing to support the development of sound, professional, analytical products (intelligence). This report outlines the 25 standards. The first seven standards relate to analysts or those who fill the analytic function in agencies. The following 18 are standards for analysis that correspond to the intelligence cycle. These standards additionally show the critical role that analysis plays in each portion of the intelligence cycle. Addendum and sources
