Learn How Crime Analysis Can Make Your Agency More Productive
relying more and more on quality analysis
The symposium is funded by the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of
Justice Assistance. The Police Foundation and the International Association of
Crime Analysts invite law enforcement executives to a highly-informative
symposium that will provide them an overview of crime analysis best practices and
organizational considerations necessary to integrate crime analysis and
evidence-based policing strategies into their agencies' everyday practices,
making them more effective and efficient in reducing crime in their communities.

Foundation’s Symposium on Crime Analysis
provides Chiefs with the information needed
to build and enhance their departments’
analytical capacity.”

Bringing Science into Practice
Executives will be shown how to focus their use of crime analysis by matching the
appropriate type of analysis to the appropriate rank and division in the agency, so
that crime reduction at all levels is informed by actionable crime analysis. The
expert team of presenters – a police executive, one criminologist, and a crime
analyst - will explore how agencies of all sizes can integrate approaches such as
problem-oriented policing, hot-spots policing, community policing, predictive
policing and intelligence-led policing.
Highly Practical
The one-day symposium coming in Spring 2015 will include discussions about
“what works,” and will make recommendations based on nationally recognized
best practices. The first symposium in Cambridge, Massachusetts, attracted
executives from throughout the region. Several more symposiums will be
scheduled later in 2015.
