    "abstract": "The World Health Organisation declared the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) an international concern on January 30, 2020. During this infectious disease outbreak, emerging literature argues that front-line officers’ mental health is at greater risk whilst performing their duties. However, little is known of the impact on the work of professionals in analytical/intelligence roles in police, law enforcement and justice organisations. Therefore, this study explored the impact of the current pandemic on the mental health and wellbeing of professionals working in these roles. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with professional in intelligence and analytical roles from different organisations in the UK and template analysis was used to analyse the transcriptions. Six themes were identified namely  ‘Reduction of crime rate’, ‘Split teams’, ‘Facilitating offending’, ‘Isolation’, ‘Work-life imbalance’, and ‘Insufficient supporting resources’, From the findings, it was evident that having teams split with some at home and some at work led to difficulties in communication. Those working from home experienced technical obstacles in doing their work, isolation from colleagues and difficulties maintaining a work-life balance. In addition, most participants felt staff support resources were not sufficient during this challenging time.  Thus, the findings highlight the importance of developing effective and secure means of communication for times when home-working is needed, and strategies to help home-workers to create a separation between work and home, despite both occurring in the same physical space.",
