Regulatory Intelligence Handbook Now Published

The NZIIP is proud to launch its latest handbook intended to strengthen the intelligence profession in New Zealand.

The Regulatory Intelligence Handbook meets the growing demand for intelligence to support regulatory functions. Built on the lessons of experienced intelligence professionals within a New Zealand government context, it demonstrates how intelligence tradecraft can support regulatory objectives. For agencies adopting intelligence, it can provide a framework that ensures the benefits of intelligence are realised. For practitioners, it provides a model approach to adapt intelligence practices and communicate within a regulatory context.
