The Implementation of ILP in Mississippi

• In Event: Emerging Research in Intelligence Led Policing (ILP)

Abstract

In order to determine if ILP is being implemented in agencies in Mississippi, an anonymous survey was fielded to every state and local law enforcement agency in the state. Voluntary participants answered the survey in hard copy or online; a response rate of 47% was realized. In order to compare Mississippi to the rest of the United States, a survey was also fielded to the participants at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Data regarding the implementation of ILP were subjected to statistical analysis to determine the extent to which ILP has been implemented in Mississippi, how Mississippi compares to the rest of the United States, and what independent variables (agency size and agency type) affect the implementation of ILP.
