This course is designed to provide the student with the skills to distinguish between intelligence and information, what distinguishes intelligence from policy and how intelligence is utilized to form public policy.

Students will be exposed to the strengths and weaknesses of intelligence from a policy maker's perspective, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of competitive intelligence and how decisions are made based on intelligence. Evaluations of scenario-based models and predicting outcomes of events based on available intelligence will cause the student to have a full exposure to and understanding of the various aspects of the intelligence communities. From an investigative and practical perspective, students will be exposed to "investigative resources" utilized to gather intelligence on a basic level such as credit history and credit reports, courthouse searches including Prothonotary's Office, Voter's Registration, Register of Wills, Family Court Division, Clerk of Courts, Recorder of Deeds and Jury Commission.
