GUIDANCE ON THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE MODEL 2005 Produced on behalf of the Association of Chief Police Officers by the National Centre for Policing Excellence GUIDANCE ON THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE MODEL This document has been produced by the National Centre for Policing Excellence (NCPE) on behalf of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). The NCPE was established by the Police Reform Act 2002. As part of its remit the NCPE is required to develop policing doctrine, including guidance, in consultation with ACPO, the Home Office and the Police Service. Guidance produced by the NCPE should be used by chief officers to shape police responses to ensure consistent levels of service. The implementation of all guidance will require operational choices to be made at a local level in order to achieve the appropriate police response. This guidance underpins the NIM Code of Practice which is the statutory code for all police forces. All enquiries about this guidance should be addressed to: Doctrine Development (supply request) National Centre for Policing Excellence Wyboston Lakes Great North Road Wyboston Bedford MK44 3BY Telephone: 0870 241 5641 Email: [email protected] A printed version of this CD-Rom is available on request from the above address.
