Selecting the Best Analyst for the Job: A Model Crime Analyst Assessment Process for Law Enforcement Agencies - click on the title to read this publication.
"Many agencies are not using analysts to their fullest capacity because of a lack of knowledge and understanding of how crime analysts’ diverse array of skills and abilities can support overall policing operations. This publication provides law enforcement personnel with a complete understanding of the underlying capacities directly associated with the crime analysis profession as it has emerged during the past decade, as well as a better understanding of how to assess these characteristics. We expect that agencies focused on these competencies will support analysts in becoming more efficient at detecting crime patterns and trends. Crime analysts equipped with the right skills will be energized to inform the department and the community about crime problems with timely and current data, effective at developing useful products to enhance police performance, and successful at enhancing the agency’s ability to accomplish its goals." ~Hubert Williams, President of the Police Foundation, 2010
