The information collection plan may include: | time frames for the collection of the information. Such timeframes may be affected by the work involved in preparing the jobs, turn around time, and translation times, appropriate methods of information transfer which could include: (modem, facsimile, post, courier, oral, and/or by hand assessment of risks to the source, individual or organisation) |
The unpredictable nature of subjects' activities mean: | that new entities come to notice when intelligence officers and officers are providing tactical and operational support. Therefore, the Information Collection Plan must be monitored for current relevance and brought up to date from time to time to keep up with operational developments. The plan would be classified appropriately |
Information sources may include: | other law enforcement officers in the agency existing holdings with the agency other law enforcement agencies government departments private sector public domain, libraries informants regulatory bodies and professional associations academic and research institutes |
Collection techniques may include: | library searches interviews surveillance (physical and electronic) observation posts overt and covert means surveys hearings |
Information may include: | data facts anecdotal evidence allegations and processed intelligence pictures video recordings audio recordings transcripts narration objects or things |
Information may be: | in hard copy or electronic form It can be obtained by overt or covert means, and apply to unclassified through to highly classified material |
Collation methods may include: | Indexing cross referencing linking sorting comparing categorising integrating using appropriate available software programs filing systems |
The information is evaluated according to its: | credibility validity reliability accuracy pertinence |
Re-evaluation means: | subjecting existing information to evaluation processes in the light of new information received |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
