Job description
The Intelligence Directorate works collaboratively with NCA Investigations Directorate and partners to deliver a unified crime fighting response.
Serious and organised crime (SOC) is one of the recognised national security threats, estimated at costing the UK economy over £37 billion every year.
In the Intelligence Directorate we collect, record and enhance intelligence to build a picture of that SOC, sharing this with partners in the UK and abroad. Then, through the exploitation of intelligence, we flex law enforcement’s collective resources against these dynamic threats. We are continuously looking for new opportunities to enhance traditional capabilities to increase the quantity and quality of available intelligence and maximise its potential for exploitation.
The Intelligence Directorate is made up of the following deputy directorate areas:
TIAT - The Tactical Intelligence Analysis Team brings together all of the Tactical Intelligence Analysts in the agency across Investigations, Regional Intelligence Teams (RITs) and in the National Tasking Centre Thematic Threat areas. TIAT is one national team and supports the greatest threat, risk and harm across the country determining best use of analytical resource. TIAT support the end to end process of development of high end of high harm targets, prioritisation, proactive analytical support through to reactive investigative support providing evidence at Court.
NAC – National Assessment Centre accepts commissions from Law Enforcement, the UK Intelligence Community, Government Departments and from within the National Crime Agency - both internal to and external to the NCA. These commissions are all related to Serious Organised Crime and aligned to the National Intelligence Requirements, as set out on the National Strategic Assessments. Requests are received via the National Strategic Tasking and Co-ordination Group (NSTCG), overseen by the Home Office.
NDEC - The National Data Exploitation Capability is a multidisciplinary team made up of data and technology professionals, intelligence officers and analysts and data management officers transforming how the NCA and wider UK Law Enforcement community operate.
