Supporting police officers and staff to understand the requirements of intelligence roles in policing.
We're moving the policing professional profiles (PPP) to the College website. While this takes place, some roles from the PPP are only available on College Learn.
College Learn can only be accessed by those who work in policing as it requires you to log in. If you do not work in policing and want to view a role, please email: professionaldevelopment@college.police.uk.
If you have any other queries or would like to give any feedback about the PPP, please email: professionaldevelopment@college.police.uk.
Purpose
The intelligence profiles include information about the responsibilities, behaviours, qualifications, skills and experience for roles in:

Exploring the intelligence profiles
To help to map out progression routes, we've organised the roles in the intelligence profiles into five levels.
