The UK's 2000 National Intelligence Model is summarized in a document available at this link.
When it came out over twenty years ago, I was working as a crime analyst and privileged to learn about it through my attendance at a colloquium at Mercyhurst College (now Mercyhurst University) where top intelligence experts from all over the world were meeting to discuss educating analysts. Later they formed the International Association for Intelligence Education (see this link):
"IAFIE was formed in June 2004, as a result of a gathering of 60-plus intelligence studies trainers and educators at the Sixth Annual International Colloquium on Intelligence at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania. This group, from various intelligence disciplines including national security, law enforcement and competitive intelligence, recognized the need for a professional association that would span their diverse disciplines and provide a catalyst and resources for their development and that of Intelligence Studies."
I was so excited to learn about the National Intelligence Model, as it delineated guidelines for analytical products and thus, to me, meant that the role of the analyst was becoming essential to policing. Yet, the profession is still not what it should be, especially here in the United States. We are so fragmented when it comes to valuing the role of the analyst and have no universal understanding of what analysts create.
Here are some analytical products as described in the National Intelligence Model:
