I've edited intelligenceand subsituted information as intellegence is information that has been processed, and typically verified and cross refferenced with other sources.

Information on the other hand is just that raw information that has not been processed.
Patrols collect information.
The information they collect is then processed and in conjunction with other information processed into intelligence.
