Description
 

This 12-week course is intended for managers and individuals of analytical units seeking to develop and improve the sustainability, professionalism, utilization, and legacy of their analytical capacities. The purpose is to aid law enforcement agencies in effectively designing and implementing a long-term data-driven infrastructure that professionalizes analytical efforts and exceptionally serves the agency and community. This course provides various strategies and tools to build an agency’s analytical capacity and legacy in a way that nurtures, grows, and retains quality analytical function and purpose.

Student Testimonial: “…it has been tough for me, as a new supervisor, to come up with my own ideas for making any changes or improvements to our unit and connecting more with my team. Dawn’s class really made me look at EVERYTHING we do and identify even small changes that could make what we do more impactful. Her class also taught me to start asking the why and look for the purpose; and her class forced me to create timelines for projects I really have not been able to complete. Even if an agency has a great unit, new analysts and new or up and coming analyst supervisors will absolutely benefit from this training. Dawn puts a lot of time into providing feedback to her students and asks questions that made me look at things differently and more in detail to improve on things I thought didn’t need to be changed.”   Tanya DePalmo, Crime Analysis Unit Supervisor (Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Orlando, FL)
