Local law enforcement in the United States possesses a proven commodity, a tool responsive both to ever evolving criminal enterprise and the technology capable of combating it. However, ask most police managers what their analysts do and you’ll hear perceptions little grounded in substance or reality. Our analysis seminars are designed to clarify many of the contributions analysts are capable of providing coupled with a straight forward look at the impediments to its successful implementation. The seminars will identify steps to improving the understanding and acceptance and effectiveness of the discipline.

Course Title: Planning, Implementation and Management of a Crime Analysis Program.
Course Description: A comprehensive study of the planning, implementation and successful operation of a Crime Analysis Program. This study will establish responsibilities and accountability for all involved; administration, management, supervision and line personnel. Topics will include an overview of the crime analysis discipline, impediments to program success and details of the comprehensive planning process required for that success.
Rationale: Law Enforcement Analysis is a proven commodity, a tool responsive both to ever evolving criminal enterprise and the technology to combat it. The police agency that recognizes the potential of the discipline and adopts it in a comprehensive, cognitive manner is bound to see definitive results in that jurisdictions’ Problem Oriented Policing effort.
Although the analysis concept has been around for a long time, too few agencies have taken a thorough look at what it really is and can accomplish. Others employ analysis units not meeting their potential due to poor commitment, planning, training and management.
Goals: To provide the appropriate agents of your agency with the tools necessary for the planning, training, equipping, initiation and management of a comprehensive and effective Crime Analysis Program. The end goal of the process is a definitive improvement in the quality of public safety for your jurisdiction.
Instructional Methods and Materials: Lecture, PowerPoint, practical class exercises, video examples and handout materials.

As presented to the Oxford Roundtable on Criminal Law, Oxford ( England) University in 2006.
Local law enforcement in the United States is remiss, missing the boat, virtually ignoring an invaluable tool in the fight against crime. It possesses a proven commodity, a tool responsive both to ever evolving criminal enterprise and the technology capable of combating it. “Law Enforcement Analysis” is a discipline whose time is long overdue. Law enforcement’s failure to properly engage this discipline is inexcusable. At best, this failure is due to a lack of understanding. Ask most police managers what their analysts do and you will hear perceptions little grounded in substance or reality. Even more disappointing, less innocent factors contribute to the problem.
Presented from the perspective of a veteran, sworn police manager, this session is designed to help bridge the gap separating concept and true commitment to analysis. The goal is to make clear many of the contributions analysts are capable of providing coupled with a straight forward look at the impediments to successful implementation. We will identify steps to improving the understanding and acceptance of the discipline.
Public safety is suffering from law enforcement’s failure to engage this valuable resource. Effective change will require true introspection and a large measure of administrative courage. Both are long overdue.

This session offers the attendee a comprehensive view of a real life, long-term covert operation with an emphasis on the potential contributions and responsibilities of the crime analyst.
Project managers are increasingly including crime analysts as team members in long-term covert operations. The qualified analyst has much to offer such an operation, including a higher potential for success and greatly enhanced officer safety. To date, specialized training in covert operations for crime analysts is virtually non-existent.
The goal of this session is to familiarize the crime analyst with the unique problems and procedures involved with long-term covert operations and to educate sworn personnel of the value of qualified analyst participation. The crime analyst’s capabilities and potential for meaningful contributions to the law enforcement effort will be greatly enhanced.

A valuable tool in the long-term fight against crime is the abatement and seizure of problem apartments, narcotics houses and businesses operating as fronts for criminal enterprise. This session will give the analyst a sound understanding of that lengthy and complex process. Accurate historical research is vital to the success of any abatement project and the analyst is in the best position to provide that data. This study will add to the analyst’s potential for advanced contribution to the agency’s POP effort.

This session will present the attendee with a comprehensive look at the art of Interview and Interrogation. Attendees will examine the blocks to effective communication and become familiar with the procedural traits of successful interrogators. Included will be a study of legal requisites and the importance of the full disclosure of facts to the success of any investigation.
The importance of a legally obtained and comprehensive confession is irrefutable. Historically, any prosecution which arrays even minimal physical evidence coupled with a confession is virtually always successful. Today’s Law Enforcement Analyst can and should play an important part in the interview and interrogation process. Investigators rely upon current, accurate and valid data to corroborate versions offered them by suspects. They also use data as they systematically maneuver suspects or reluctant witnesses toward a truthful account of the incident in question. An analyst knowledgeable of the process of interrogation and the informational needs of the interrogator is an invaluable asset to the information gathering process.
Attendees' will gain a strong understanding of interview and interrogation procedures. The result will be an enhanced capability for assistance in the investigative process. The analyst will become a valuable asset to investigators in both the gathering of pertinent information and in the corroboration of suspect and witness versions.

Budget constraints are symptomatic to all agencies and many good special projects never get past the planning stage as a result. Agencies adept at obtaining grants have a huge advantage in obtaining funding. Grant writing intimidates many but the process is not difficult when understood.
Accurate data from a variety of sources is vital to any successful grant proposal. The grant writer will inevitably come to the analyst for assistance. This session will introduce the analyst to the basic grant writing process and thus improve the quality of contribution to that effort.

There is an important resource available to assist Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement agencies across the country in their fight against crime. This tool has been under utilized in the past and has recently come to the forefront in many aspects of crime fighting, to include The War on Terrorism, the War on Drugs, along with crime fighting in general. The use of Intelligence/Criminal Analysts can be a great benefit to an agency.
Whether ones department has its own or they seek assistance from an outside source, such as, a HIDTA Investigative Support Center or a National Guard Counter Drug Division Analyst. The use of an Analyst can take a great deal of the workload off the officer/agent and that in turn would free up their time to do more investigative work. The use of an analyst can assist in taking your case to the next level.
This presentation will give an overview of “What we do and how we do it”, with an emphasis on multi-jurisdictional deconfliction. It will answer many of your questions and give you a new understanding of this valuable resource. Learn what an analyst can do for you and “move from successful to outstanding.”

According to the U.S. dept. of Justice, over 800,000 victims are trafficked across international borders each year. Approximately 17,000 to 20,000 of those are trafficked into the United States. This modern day form of slavery must be addressed. Law enforcement must know how to recognize the subtle clues of this underground abomination. Victims are often too frightened or unsure of other consequences to speak out. Focused training and effective strategies bolstered by creative analysis are key to aa successful approach to this growing human issue.

According to Kim Rossmo, PhD, Geographic Profiling works on the premise that the location of a crime site can provide the police with vital information. It assesses and predicts the offender’s most likely place of residence, place of work, social venues and travel routes etc.
Geographic profiling consists of both quantitative (objective) scientific geographic techniques and qualitative (subjective) components e.g. a reconstruction and interpretation of the offender’s mental map.’
‘By establishing the probability of the offender residing in various areas and displaying those results on a map, police efforts to apprehend criminals can be assisted. This information allows police departments to focus their investigative efforts, geographically prioritize suspects, and concentrate patrol efforts in those zones where the criminal predator is likely to be active’ .
