Introduction

Intelligence is often defined as the ability to adapt to the environment to survive. Intelligent
people can be better understood what goes on around them so they respond to it in an effective
way. Intelligent people are also good at learning various kinds of information, which they can
use to their advantage or for the benefits of others. (Montojo, 2006)

Intelligence is a product resulting from the collection, evaluation, analysis, integration, and the
interpretation of all available information. Intelligence is processed information (PNP Intelligence
Handbook (2005)

Criminal intelligence is the end product of an analytic process which collects and assesses
information about crimes and/or criminal enterprises with the purposes of making judgments
and inferences about community conditions, potential problems, and criminal activity with the
intent to pursue criminal prosecution or project crime trends. (Training Materials Terrorism
Invest Course, ATAP)

Intelligence as a process - is an activity which treats processed information as a basis for

departmental policy and decision making. (Montojo2006).

Intelligence is a product - resulting from the collection, evaluation, and interpretation of all
available information which concerns one or more aspect of police operation and which is
immediately or potentially significant to police planning. (Montego 2006)

Intelligence as an organization - is an institution composed of person, who pursues a special

kind of knowledge for the purpose of planning the collection of information, processing, and
dissemination of intelligence relating to police operations.

Intelligence is a network in establishing strong relationship with others people and agencies, it
builds mutual trust and respect for colleagues which share a common vision thus encourage
continues communication to eliminate impediment to information sharing

Intelligence as a craft - is a general term that denotes a skill acquired through experience in a
(typical clandestine) trade. The craft of criminal intelligence requires a specialized set of
attributes and skills that must be continually refined to meet the needs of the evolving world of
criminality and law enforcement.

Intelligence as a technical profession, even in a biblical records, the first recorded formalized
intelligence efforts can be found in NUMBER 13:17 , The Lord said to Moses, ”Choose one of
the leaders from each of the twelve tribes and send them to spies to explore the land of
Canaan,….”. The Scriptures also named the twelve intelligence agents whom the Lord directed
 45

Moses to send into the land of Canaan (Number 13:3-5) and records that “all those men were
heads of the children of Israel.”

Three Level of Intelligence Work

1. Frontline officer – personnel involved in casing, surveillance, agent handler and other
intelligence operative directly involved in the collection of information.
2. Intelligence Analyst – personnel involved in the processing of information. They analyze
collected information, supervise in the day to day analysis of information to develop
inference needed by operating units and prepare report as necessary. They are the think
tank of the organization.
3. Intelligence Manager – personnel involved in the entire management of intelligence unit.
He is most concern in the security of the unit and development of his personnel.

The National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) ( Pambansang Sangay para sa

Pagsasamang Kaalaman) (PSPK) is the primary intelligence gathering and analysis arm of the
Philippine government, in charge of carrying out overt, covert and clandestine intelligence
programs. Its motto is: Ang Karunungan ay Kaligtasan (translated: "Knowledge is Safety").

 Presently, NICA is in close coordination with the CIA, Mossad, Secret Intelligence
Service and intelligence services of ASEAN countries to counter the threat of terrorism.
 The agency is led by a Director-General and is assisted by a Deputy Director-General.

security matters affecting the Philippines.

Philippine History of Police Intelligence Service

 No official record of specific beginning of police intelligence due to convolution of Police

and Military Intelligence.
 Philippine Police know as Manila Police Battalion on January 1,1901 later become the
Manila Police Department, twelve years later the Secret Service Division was
established as major component of Police Force and the operatives was called
“Sekretas”
 It was during the 70s that the PC Intelligence Community contributed immensely to the
successful campaign against subversion and insurgency in the country. It has to its
credit the neutralization of the two most ranking leaders of the subversives and
insurgents namely, Jose Maria Sison Amado Guerrero and Bernabe Buscayno alias
Commander Dante. Many other significant accomplishments followed, which further
placed the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the New People's Army (NPA)
in a state of disarray.
 On 11 May 1978, President Ferdinand E. Marcos, through LOI 89, directed the
regionalization of the PC/INP. An Intelligence set-up was created in each Regional
Command which was fragmented when viewed from the Headquarters level, although
monolithic at the lower level. The set-up gave rise to several negative effects, which
were not complementary to the PC/INP task of safeguarding national security and public
safety, and the maintenance of peace and order through the enforcement of laws.
 47

 It was for this reason that a unified intelligence organization, which had the characteristic
of an HPC separate unit, was created called the Constabulary Security Group (CSG).
Like the rest of the major services of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine
Constabulary maintains an intelligence organization, whose activities are coordinated by
the intelligence division of General Headquarters, Armed Forces of the Philippines.
 C2 Division, the intelligence division of the Philippine Constabulary and one of the eight
(8) general staffs of HPC had functional supervision over the intelligence divisions of
thirteen (13) regional commands. These coordinated the operational activities of the
intelligence and investigation sections of the provincial commands which were primarily
responsible for the collection, production and dissemination of tactical and police
intelligence at that level.
 The division was activated as an intelligence staff upon the PC's assumption of the
responsibility on anti-dissident campaign sometime in January 1956. It was mainly
responsible to the Chief of Constabulary/Director General, Integrated National Police for
planning, directing, coordinating, supervising and administering all intelligence and
counter-intelligence activities of the Philippine Constabulary/Integrated National Police.
 As to its functional organization, C2 division was directly under the supervision of the
Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence. J2 which was directly under the supervision and
control of the National Intelligence and Coordinating Agency (NICA) which had lateral
coordination with the
intelligence units of the major services and the Civilian Intelligence agencies. C2
operationally supported the separate units of the Philippine Constabulary and the
thirteen (13) Regional Intelligence units to include the intelligence units of the PC
Capcom.
 The promulgation on January 1, 1991 of Republic Act No. 6975 otherwise known as the
"Reorganized Department of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990",
operationalize the constitutional mandate for the establishment of a single and unified
police force which is national in scope, under the control and supervision of the National
Police Commission
 With this as a legal basis, the Philippine Constabulary was dissolved and the Philippine
National Police (PNP) was organized with members composed of the police forces who
were integrated into the Integrated National Police (INP) pursuant to Presidential Decree
765, and the officers and enlisted personnel of the Philippine Constabulary.
 The Directorate for Intelligence (Dl), formerly C2, is now headed by a Police Director. Its
mission is to assist the Chief, PNP in attaining intelligence objectives through the
effective management of all intelligence and counter-intelligence activities of the PNP.
 Under Sec. 29 of said Republic Act, the PNP is organized and headed by a Chief with
the rank of Director General who is assisted by two (2) deputy chiefs with the rank of
Deputy Director General, one for administration who is the second in Command, and
one for operation who is the third in Command. Moreover, the Chief, PNP has different
directorial staffs, headed by the Chief of the Directorial Staffs.
 Under the present set-up, the Directorate for Intelligence is under the direction and
control of the Chief. PNP and under the administration and operational supervision of the
Deputy Chief for Operations, PNP. It exercises functional supervision over the PNP
