Intelligence Cycle Law and Legal Definition
The intelligence cycle refers to the process of developing raw information into finished intelligence for policymakers to use in decision making and action.
Steps involved in the process of intelligence cycle include:a. Planning and Direction, which is management of the entire effort, from identifying the need for data to delivering an intelligence product to a consumer ;
b. Collection, which is the gathering of the raw information needed to produce finished intelligence ;
c. All Source Analysis and Production, which is the conversion of basic information into finished intelligence; and
d. Dissemination, which logically feeds into the first, is the distribution of the finished intelligence to the consumers, the same policymakers whose needs initiated the intelligence requirements.
