From June 17 to 21, ICITAP conducted a five-day workshop on i2 Analyst’s Notebook, attended by seventeen (17) criminal investigators, intelligence officers, bank officers, and analysts from the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP). The workshop aimed to enhance skills in managing large volumes of disparate data, importing financial spreadsheets for quick link analyses, and transforming data into easy-to-understand visual charts for actionable intelligence and decision-making. Participants engaged in hands-on practical exercises, creating link analyses to show relationships between financial transactions and persons of interest, effectively following the money trail and connecting the dots. By the end of the training, attendees were proficient in using Analyst’s Notebook to generate actionable intelligence, supporting more informed decision-making. The workshop received positive feedback, with participants valuing the practical exercises and real-world applications, which will significantly enhance their investigative efforts in crime prevention and resolution. This workshop is funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism.
