Is this okay to use?

Can I use the word "intelligence" with the definite article to refer to a intelligence agency? Like this

"The intelligence seems to know about this."

Thanks.

No. "Intelligence" refers to the information gathered by such an agency.

Their intelligence was so good that they knew when and where the attack was planned. They prevented the terrorists from killing the president.
