Intelligence officer
Résumé
An intelligence officer is a person employed by an organization to collect, compile or analyze information (known as intelligence) which is of use to that organization. The word of officer is a working title, not a rank, used in the same way a "police officer" can also be a sergeant, or in the military, in which non-commissioned personnel may serve as intelligence officers.
Organizations which employ intelligence officers include armed forces, police, and customs agencies.
Intelligence officers make use of a variety of sources of information, including
Communications intelligence (COMINT) Eavesdropping and interception of communications (e.g., by wiretapping) including signals intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic intelligence (ELINT).
Financial intelligence (FININT) The gathering of information about the financial affairs of entities of interest.
Human intelligence (HUMINT) Derived from covert human intelligence sources (Covert Human Intelligence Source or CHIS, agents or moles) from a variety of agencies and activities.
(IMINT) Derived from numerous collection assets, such as reconnaissance satellites or aircraft.
Measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) Derived from collection assets that collect and evaluate technical profiles and specific characteristics of certain targeted entities.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) Derived from publicly available sources such as the Internet, library materials, newspapers, etc.
Technical intelligence (TECHINT) Based on scientific and technical characteristics of weapons systems, technological devices and other entities.
The actual role carried out by an intelligence officer varies depending on the remit of their parent organization. Officers of foreign intelligence agencies (e.g. the United States' Central Intelligence Agency, the United Kingdom's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) may spend much of their careers abroad.
