integration, analysis, evaluation and interpretation of all available information.
Intelligence profile means an intelligence product based on defined criteria which
targets entities for enforcement purposes.
Intelligence summary refers to a summary of information gained from an intelligence
product.
Organisational requirements refer to instructions to staff on policies, procedures, and
methodologies which are documented and are available in the workplace. They are

This unit standard applies to the production of proposed or recommended courses of
