Forward Intelligence Team at Westminster, London


Forward Intelligence Teams are units in UK Police forces that use high-visibility police officers — in full uniform — using cameras, camcorders and audio recorders to conduct overt surveillance of the public. First appearing as part of the Public Order Intelligence Unit (CO11), a section of the Public Order Branch of the Metropolitan Police, they were initially targeted at football fans and political protesters, but the concept has since been extended to routine police work on low-level crime and disorder. Despite the implication in the name that their function is to gather intelligence they are actually intended to have a deterrent effect.
