We’re a publicly accountable civilian intelligence organisation, not a law enforcement agency. We work closely with the police and other law enforcement agencies to help them bring to justice people who are committing or planning crimes. The intelligence that we produce can often be admitted as evidence in criminal trials. Special procedures are in place for handling intelligence evidence and disclosures.”
