Training on intelligence-led policing for Ukrainian law enforcement

The European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM) Ukraine recently organised a two-week training on intelligence-led policing (ILP) in Warsaw for Ukrainian analysts from the National Police of Ukraine, the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine, and academic institutions under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Intelligence-led policing serves as the cornerstone of modern law enforcement, emphasising proactive and preventative strategies over reactive measures. This approach ensures that police forces remain “one step ahead” of criminal activity. For ILP to be effective, the information gathered by police must be carefully collected, collated, thoroughly analysed, and effectively disseminated. This systematic process, which is also known as an Intelligence Cycle, allows law enforcement to respond appropriately and allocate resources where they are most needed.

The training was designed to equip participants with essential skills in intelligence analysis. It provided an in-depth exploration of the Intelligence Cycle, practical application of 20 Structured Analytical Techniques, and a thorough understanding of the analytic spectrum.

Participants reported a broader understanding of analytical techniques and an improved ability to apply these methods, especially in generating and testing hypotheses and scenarios, foreseen through teamwork.

EUAM Ukraine continues to support law enforcement agencies in Ukraine, including in the realm of intelligence-led policing, particularly evidence-based decision-making via thorough analysis.
