Abstract:
To study and analyze intelligence performance of Special Branch 1 under the Royal Thai Police. The Special Branch 1 provides intelligence information to the Royal Thai Police and, based on the analysis, designs the intelligence information system. The intelligence information system was designed in accordance with the theory of System Development Life Cycle. The system was initiated by designing intelligence database system, implementing an application program to assist intelligence conduct, and providing a computer network for database security system. The system was implemented in such a way that the intelligence was properly conducted and assigned to proper staffs for the efficient and effective intelligence performance. From this study, the intelligence information system was successfully developed. The system consists of intelligence database system with 40 tables, an application program for 33 forms of the intelligence system, and security systems for both the application program and information network using the technology of Internet Protocol Security. The application program is used to correlate persons and their organization in forms of matrix charts and create event charts from the database system. The matrix charts and event charts can be used to illustrate relationships among the data and the order of events better than word expression. Upon results tested with sample information, the application program showed to be satisfactory for meeting user requirements, resulting in the effective performan within the intelligence units. Moreover, the application program can also be used for other intelligence units that have similar intelligence conduct and may be used as a base program to further develop the intelligence information system in the near future.
