accumulates or tackles the data or to demonstrate the product of the department. Thus in the
simple sense, the intelligence may be defined as the information that has been processed. The
law enforcement applies intelligence that can be labeled as the data that is exploited, acquired, as
well as safeguarded by the actions of the organization of law enforcement to take the decision
and to assist criminal investigation (Symon and Tarapore 2015). The Intelligence Services Act,
2001, made relevant development to the intelligence community of Australia (Intelligence
Services Act, 2001). The intelligence agency of Australia is regulated and controlled by The
Intelligence Services Act, 2001. The act initiates a legitimate basis for the service of Australian
Secret Intelligence. It reconsiders typically the contemporary and emergent development in
crime surroundings, the threat to the order, and public safety, the scope for the regulation of

inferences and hypotheses that concentrate on the particular factors of unlawful functioning of

intelligence that was gathered at the time of conducting the investigation is safeguarded from
revelation in the criminal proceedings. The portion of the investigation reacts to the reported
occasions as well as describes what happens and who was engaged in the same (Raymond and
Julian 2015). The analysis of intelligence assists the investigation by aiding to aim the resources
that were available and also to determine the information crisis to concentrate the investigation in
a clearer manner. Furthermore, it also aids to evade effort duplication as well as eradicate
straying into the zone of having no importance( Ratcliffe 2016). Therefore in order to gain
maximum advantage, the analysis capacity must be engaged at the prior stage of the
investigation if at all possible at an earlier phase, though in practice, it is not conceivable.
