At the state and local levels, crime and police report data is rapidly migrating from paper records to automated records management systems in recent years, making them increasingly accessible.
ROTFL!

After many years it is quite clear that ILP sounds fine, but has become a smokescreen for politically dictated targets. No gueses which comes first, ILP or targets?

ILP often fails to provide tactical intelligence for those on patrol or investigations and concentrates on higher levels.
I'll second that from the other side of the Atlantic. IMHO, the utility of intel is way oversold. The view from the curb is that intel is a one-way freeway that runs well overhead. I won't even digress into the Byzantine rules & laws, even at the state & local level, that choke domestic intell collection & dissemination for police purposes. Bismark17 could lay out chapter & verse.
