Let's start piece by piece:

L及び警察側 = L and the police

状況整理 = assessing the situation

L及び警察側の状況整理 = L and police assessing the situation

L及び警察側の状況整理という感じ = The feeling of "L and the police assessing the situation"

L及び警察側の状況整理という感じの情報 = The information of the feeling of "L and the police assessing the situation"

L及び警察側の状況整理という感じの情報が出されていきます。 = The information of the feeling of "L and the police assessing the situation" is shown

To put it into more natural English, the show portrays the feeling that L and the police are assessing the situation.

感じ literally means "feeling" of "sense", but this ～という感じの is just an informal way to avoid assertive tone, so it's like "kinda looks (to me) like ～", "along the lines of ～", "that might be called a ～", etc. In this case, it implies 状況整理 is the reviewer's own wording, i.e., no one in the anime actually said 状況整理.

状況整理: organization/summarizing/review of the current situation (of Kira's case)
L及び警察側の状況整理: review of the situation seen from the L and police's side
L及び警察側の状況整理という感じの情報: information that kind of looks like a review of the current situation seen from the L and police's side
