Answer to Question 1

Answer: Scenarios and charts will vary. The answers must present a mini case, and a logical chart analysis. The answers should explain why a link analysis, event flow chart, or commodity flow chart was used.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Overt information collection includes personal interaction with people, many of whom are witnesses to crimes, victims of crimes, or the suspects themselves. To best facilitate the overt collection process, agency administrators should require officers from all divisions to document any information on suspected criminal activity and to pass on such information to intelligence officers. Covert information collection is the most common and includes a process known as intelligence gathering. This is a process of data collection on criminal acts that have not yet occurred but for which the investigator must prepare. Covert intelligence collection methods use physical surveillance, electronic surveillance, informants, and undercover officers. Examples will vary.
