Which phrase best describes how ILP success is measured?

• A. Arrests only
• B. Detection, reduction, disruption of criminal activity
• C. Public opinion
• D. Response times

Answer: (B)

Intelligence-Led Policing measures success by the real impact on crime, not just outputs. The goal is to turn information into action that lowers crime and disrupts criminal activity. So success is about detecting criminal activity through quality intelligence, reducing opportunities and occurrences of crime, and disrupting or dismantling criminal operations. Arrests can be a byproduct, but they don’t alone capture the broader impact ILP aims for. Public opinion and response times don’t directly reflect this crime-reduction and disruption impact, making the phrase that best describes ILP success the combination of detection, reduction, and disruption of criminal activity.
