True or False: Any information gathered in a LEA investigation is considered intelligence.

In the context of a law enforcement agency (LEA) investigation, not all gathered information qualifies as intelligence. Intelligence is typically characterized by information that has been analyzed and processed to provide insight, relevance, or value for decision-making within a specific context. This may include information that has been corroborated, contextualized, or assessed for reliability.

On the other hand, raw data or unverified information collected during an investigation does not inherently possess those qualities and therefore would not be classified as intelligence. The distinction between mere information and intelligence is critical in law enforcement and national security contexts, as practical application and decision-making depend on the reliability and relevance of the intelligence processed.

Other options imply that specific conditions must be met for information to be considered intelligence, but the broad assertion that all gathered information can be thought of as intelligence is not accurate.
