This study employs normative, empirical research methods. The findings indicated that the elements contributing to the necessity of enhancing the power of prosecutorial Intelligence as Intelligence for law enforcement based on human rights: (1) The implementation of tasks faces several problems, such as resource constraints, legal discrepancies, political neutrality, coordination deficiencies, technological hurdles, and political and security instability. (2) The execution of intelligence tasks is subject to several constraints, including limitations in conducting investigations, restrictions on wiretapping, restricted access to classified material, constraints in disseminating information to the public, limitations in making decisions, and scarcity of resources.
