Police intelligence has been included in U.S. Army military police doctrine since the 1960s. PIO focuses on the analysis of information to predict illegal, criminal, or subversive activities, and the environmental conditions that create opportunities for crime. This allows military police and supported commanders to anticipate, disrupt, and defeat criminal and other irregular threats. In the complex world of today, criminal activity is not confined within national borders and is not solely an internal state concern.
