Scientists should not play a role in investigations nor should investigators play a role in the scientific analyses. One way to bridge the relationship between the forensic scientist and the police investigator is through an Intelligence Analyst (IA) who is part of the forensic services operation. The IA offers the ability to walk between the role of scientist and law enforcement, receiving data after completion of scientific analyses and translating the information into actionable intelligence. The additional bridging and translating services represent a paradigm shift with increased emphasis on investigative contributions from forensic analysis. Forensic intelligence incorporates forensic data early in an investigation in a holistic case approach that incorporates possible datasets and information that could be relevant to the investigation. We present a brief review of the value added when an IA provides the bridge between the forensic laboratory and police investigators to enhance the use of forensic evidence.
科学家不应参与调查，调查人员也不应参与科学分析。弥合法医科学家与警方调查人员之间关系的一种方法是通过作为法医服务运作一部分的情报分析师（IA）。情报分析师能够在科学家和执法人员的角色之间穿梭，在科学分析完成后接收数据，并将信息转化为可采取行动的情报。额外的桥梁搭建和翻译服务代表了一种范式转变，更加注重法医分析对调查的贡献。法医情报在调查早期就以整体案件方法纳入法医数据，该方法整合了可能与调查相关的数据集和信息。我们简要回顾了情报分析师在法医实验室和警方调查人员之间架起桥梁以加强法医证据使用时所带来的附加值。
