text: Intelligence Warfighting Function Tasks
  Produce (2.2.6.3)
  B-51. Production involves analyzing collected police information. The police intelligence operations model
  integrates criminal analysis and crime analysis processes to provide commanders, staffs, and MPs with a
  complete picture of the criminal environment. Criminal analysis and crime analysis are interdependent and
  complementary; they are overlapping analysis processes that allow MPs to holistically identify and defeat
  criminal threats and environmental factors that promote crime, disorder, and the fear of crime. Police
  information analysis varies based on intelligence requirements and the purpose of the analysis (such as
  identifying and apprehending a criminal offender, informing the public, enabling protection efforts, or
  shaping crime prevention strategies to prevent and deter criminal activity).
  B-52. Police intelligence products resulting from police intelligence (along with police information) may be
  produced, grouped, and packaged to fulfill information and intelligence requirements. These products are fed
  into policing, corrections, and investigative missions through policing strategies and investigative processes
  as well as into the operations process through the integrating processes (IPOE, information collection,
  targeting, risk management, and knowledge management). This dissemination allows MP personnel,
  commanders, and staffs to make decisions ranging from policy, budgeting, and resource allocation to direct
  tactical action to reduce crime, eliminate crime-conducive conditions, target criminal offenders and networks,
  and establish safe and secure environments for U.S. forces, allies, and host nations.
  Disseminate (2.2.6.4)
  B-53. Police intelligence and police information are disseminated for use by law enforcement to focus
  policing activities. Police intelligence products are disseminated and integrated within the operations process,
  enhancing situational understanding, mission planning, and execution at every echelon. Dissemination entails
  delivering timely, accurate, relevant, predictive, and tailored police intelligence products to the appropriate
  and authorized stakeholders. Dissemination must comply with legal restrictions, mission requirements, and
  protection considerations. Police intelligence or police information may be provided verbally, in writing, or
  graphically. These products may be disseminated to support host-nation law enforcement in combating crime
  and neutralizing criminal threats to military operations based on trend and pattern analysis and shared with
  other law enforcement agencies. When permitted legally allowable, these products are provided to the MI
  community for fusion and incorporation into the all-source intelligence effort, contributing to a more
  complete intelligence picture. (See FM 3-39.)
  CONDUCT INFORMATION COLLECTION (2.3)
  B-54. Information collection is an activity that synchronizes and integrates the planning and employment of
  sensors and assets as well as the processing, exploitation, and dissemination systems in direct support of
  current and future operations (FM 3-55). Information collection is an integrated intelligence and operations
  function that focuses on answering intelligence requirements. Through information collection, commanders
  and staffs continuously plan, task, and employ collection assets and forces. These forces collect, process, and
  disseminate timely and accurate information, combat information, and intelligence to satisfy intelligence
  requirements. When necessary, collection assets focus on special requirements, such as personnel recovery.
  For joint operations, information collection is referred to as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
  (also called ISR). Conduct information collection consists of four tasks, as shown in figure B-4 on page B-16.
