To effectively “lead up” within an agency, a crime analyst must go beyond simple statistical reporting and become an invaluable strategic partner in crime reduction efforts.

Carolyn Montagna will share her experience working in various analytical and executive positions with 3 major city police departments.

LEAF/CLEA Certification FAQ Session

Registered participants will receive the recording within approximately 48 hours, whether or not they attend live. Curious about obtaining a crime analyst certification? This session is open to anyone interested in the certification process and is not a study/review session for test takers. It will however provide you with useful information on the test and what to expect. Getting either a CLEA or LEAF certification can open new opportunities and boost your career. For some analysts these certifications come with pay raises/promotions. For others, it gives them an edge over the other candidates when applying for a job. Certifications show you are serious about your job and committed to this field. The IACA LEAF/CLEA Certification program can be a bit daunting for those of us already in the field. You may have questions about the process to apply, how to prepare, what to expect, etc. This Q and A will start with a brief overview of the LEAF and CLEA processes, how they differ, which one is the best suited for where you are in your career.
