The National Intelligence Model (NIM) takes an intelligence led, problem solving approach to crime and disorder. It promotes partnership working and uses the management of information and intelligence to operate at all levels of policing.

On behalf of the United Kingdom and devolved UK Governments the National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU), through a high level group known as the UK Tasking & Coordinating Group (UKTCG), produces intelligence products which include a UK Strategic Assessment on wildlife crime and from which wildlife crime priorities are agreed.

The UKTCG can review and amend the priorities at any time, but they are formally reviewed every forth year.  Each priority is taken forward via a Tactical Delivery Group (TDG). The TDG has a named plan owner and works to a 4P plan – focusing on Prevent, Prepare, Pursue, Protect.

Each TDG updates the UK Tasking and Coordination Group (UKTCG) twice per year via a plan owner document. This allows the UKTCG to oversee the activities of the TDG to ensure the TDG is progressing the 4P plan.
