What We Do

Burglary Task Group

The Burglary Task Group is a multi-agency group and meets on a monthly basis.

As with other task groups, the Burglary Task Group uses the National Intelligence Model (NIM) to drive its business.

NIM is an intelligence led Business Model, utilised by Police Forces in the UK to gather and manage information in order to make the most effective decisions. NIM was devised by the National Criminal Intelligence Service and adopted by the Association of Chief Police Officers Scotland in 2000. Essentially, the model professionalises the intelligence discipline by facilitating the identification of Priorities and the allocation of resources.

Use of NIM ensures that the group directs its time, efforts and resources to those areas of work (geographic or thematic) which have the greatest potential for achieving reductions in crime.

This approach has proved to be effective with the group contributing towards a ?? drop in crime since it was adopted in 2005/6.
