Abstract

This paper examines the response of Great Britain to its treaty obligation requiring European Community countries to remove frontier controls between member states by 1992. It examines the role that intelligence can play in antiterrorism and British reform of its policing system. It also argues that police officers too often see intelligence as an aid to operational success rather than as a tool for the strategic management of resources. It analyzes the nature of intelligence and the problems associated with police understanding of the concept. Finally, it describes the changes that are taking place in British policing and the proposed organization of the National Criminal Intelligence Unit.
