A phrase generally associated with police and crime drama. Along with such other soundbytes and acronyms it makes for credible sounding police jargon.
In the real world, it is in the interests of the police or 'organisations with police like powers' to have as many 'POINTs' as possible. This justifies handlers and surveillance which in turn helps pay for new kitchens and shopping trips to Dubai.
It's important that these kitchens and shopping trips are made available to the employees of such hard working organisations because they are 'modern professionals'. The vast amount of the so called 'work' that these organisations undertake can be accurately described as inhabiting an arena of highly dysfunctional perception management strategies.
There are nine strategies for perception management. These include:
1. Preparation – Having clear goals and knowing the ideal position you want people to hold.
2. Credibility – Make sure all of your information is consistent, often using prejudices or expectations to increase credibility.
3. Multichannel support – Have multiple arguments and fabricated facts to reinforce your information.
4. Centralized control – Employing entities such as propaganda ministries or bureaus.
5. Security – The nature of the deception campaign is known by few.
6. Flexibility – The deception campaign adapts and changes over time as needs change.
7. Coordination – The organization or propaganda ministry is organized in a hierarchical pattern in order to maintain consistent and synchronized distribution of information.
8. Concealment – Contradicting information is destroyed.
9. Untruthful statements – Fabricate the truth.

The above photofit of a 'POINT' represents an individual implicated in a serious and most probably fatal assault. The victim of the serious assault is a one Mr Michael Anthony Robinson, formerly of Hackney, London. The circumstances surrounding the incident extend to a highly unsavory homosexual encounter in the toilets of a Wetherspoons or even lesser licensed premises. The intelligence implicating the man depicted above, was forwarded to the author without chronological context. Therefore it could happen tomorrow or ten years from now. It's impossible to know. What is known, is that for the past two decades Michael Anthony Robinson has been engaging in clandestine operations of a highly dubious nature within the field of gender dysfunctional perception management. Much of these operations have extended to attempting to con other members of the clandestine community into making purchases based on an entirely fraudulent premise. It is therefore not surprising that he meets his end drowning in an overflowing urinal. Readers may recall the incident known as the 'hold-all murder' where a Gareth Williams (a known homosexual MI6 operative) was found locked inside a Red hold-all in a bath, in a property in south London. While there is no direct intelligence to link Michael Anthony Robinson to the 'hold-all murder' it wouldn't be a massive leap of imagination to associate the two events with the activity of a highly incompetent and clearly quite badly mind controlled member of the UK's equivalent of 'The Freedom Train'.
