Have you ever contacted Humberside Police to report something and wondered what happens with that information next?
Nestled away in an office at Clough Road Police Station are their Intelligence Team also known as the Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB).
Specially trained officers and staff work hard every day to piece together little snippets of information and intelligence to build up a full story and identify suspects, or recognise patterns of behaviour. 
When a crime is reported, trained call handlers will ask a series of questions to skilfully gather all of the information available about the offence and the person responsible.
This information is passed to our intelligence team who comb through it and use it to learn more about crime in the area.
Almost like putting together a huge, complicated jigsaw puzzle, the teams take every morsel of detail available to them and use it to tell a story and lead them to offenders.
