Community Intelligence is a term used in the PREVENT strategy to describe the acquisition of "information that may be unspecific and ambiguous about local individuals or local places that cause concern or suspicion locally". [1] It almost exclusively relates to acquiring intelligence on the Muslim community.
The term is used in relation to objective 6 of the PREVENT strategy, which aims to "develop intelligence, analysis and research" about the threat of radicalisation and terrorism in Britain's Muslim communities.
According a leaked police document, the purpose of "community intelligence" is to allow the police to establish mechanisms that will ensure information on the Muslim community can be acquired and a Rich Picture understanding can be generated. Once the community intelligence is established, the police are in a better position to target their activities and interventions more meticulously.[2]
The responsibility of developing community intelligence falls to Counter Terrorism Intelligence Officers, who aim to communicate with different elements/institutions in their command areas for the sake of raising “awareness of potential terrorist material [and] development of the Rich Picture. This intelligence assists the development of Operation Delphinus, the police operation which assigns different counter-terrorism tasks to local partners. [3]
