| Abstract: | Strategic intelligence is the product of various means to ascertain threat/s and action, including the evolution of responses to threats, perspectives of threats, and assessments of successes and failures of such actions. This article promotes the idea that good intelligence enables good policy, and examines how the Nevada Division of Investigation, a state-level investigative agency with general law enforcement responsibilities engaged in strategic intelligence research. The research methodology is an adaptation of the Delphi Technique. It employs a three-round iterative process seeking to generate the strongest possible consensus, after expressing opposing views, to potential resolutions (policies and programs) on major criminal justice issues. Serving as a model for futures research, this study rests on the premise that the decision-maker is primarily interested in having informed individuals present options and supporting evidence for consideration. |
