<P> Recently, intelligence - led policing has undergone a' revisionist' expansion to allow incorporation of reassurance and neighbourhood policing . </P> <P> Prior to intelligence - led policing, a responsive strategy was the main method of policing . However, as crime was perceived to outgrow police resources in the UK, there was a demand gap, and a call for a new strategy that would more efficiently use the resources available at the time </P> <P> Early development of intelligence - led policing took place in the UK . It was perceived that police were spending too much time responding to specific incidents, and not tackling the problem of repeat offenders . Therefore, reports by the Audit Commission in 1993 and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in 1997 advocated increased use of intelligence, surveillance and informants to target recidivist offenders, so that police could be more effective in fighting crime . The call was quickly taken up by some police forces, particularly the Kent Constabulary . Intelligence led policing was not a major proponent of policing styles until the September 11th terrorist attacks . Prior to these attacks the majority of all branches of the government would often not divulge any information to each other . The main assumptions of this theory can be described by Ratcliffe's 3i format . As shown by the figure below, the three I's call for close cooperation between police chiefs and intelligence analysts in order to facilitate a strategy that will impact the criminal environment . </P> <P> Figure 1 . 3i Model of Intelligence - led Policing adapted from Ratcliffe </P>
