Description
 

This is a 12-week online course designed to introduce Crime Analysis to new and aspiring analysts and provide an understanding of its application within smaller jurisdictions and with limited time/staffing. Students will learn how to establish themselves within the department, what types of requests and responsibilities a lone analyst will encounter, and how to become the 'go-to' person for your officers.

This class will focus on jurisdictions where the analysis is being conducted by a police officer or records staff member (in addition to his/her regular duties), a commander, a new analyst or part-time analyst in a jurisdiction with less than 125 officers. The class content will include presentations and discussions on types of analysis, basic analytical concepts and techniques, routine analytical production using common software programs, and how to manage your time.

Format

This class is for beginners, no experience as an analyst is necessary. This class will focus on jurisdictions where the analysis is being conducted by a police officer or records staff member (in addition to his/her regular duties), a commander, a new analyst or part-time analyst in a jurisdiction with less than 125 officers.

Students should expect a time commitment of 3-5 hours per week to gain a passing grade. The course will be graded as a pass/fail. This is not a self-paced course; we will advance to each new topic week as a group. Students can login anytime to work as needed, there are no live sessions. Participation throughout the course is required for a passing grade. As a rule, bulk submissions of your work during the last week of class will not be accepted unless you have received prior authorization from the instructor. 

Invitations to the learning platform will be sent the weekend before class starts.
