Intelligence and Investigations
Parallel Efforts — Common Results
I crafted this diagram (Intelligence & Investigations: Parallel Efforts — Common Goals Results-Oriented Diagram©) more than several decades ago, while I was assigned to the U.S. Border Patrol as an intelligence research specialist, based on my experience working with federal law enforcement, networking and collaborating with analysts from IALEIA and IACA, and from a collection of notes based on conference and seminar attendance.

My intent was to illustrate to both analysts and managers/supervisors how the intelligence and analytic processes complement investigative efforts toward common objectives, including uncovering criminal conspiracies, dismantling criminal organizations, making arrests, completing cases, securing court convictions, and forfeiting assets generated by criminal activity.
Another purpose of this diagram is to help agency commanders position and strengthen their organizational requirements to establish crime/intelligence analyst positions.
Let me know what your thoughts are.
