A Crime Analyst supports the Police Department by providing advanced analytical services that inform strategic decision-making, resource deployment, and proactive policing efforts. This position is responsible for conducting complex statistical and geospatial analysis of crime data using a variety of tools and methodologies, including regression analysis, probability studies, temporal and spatial modeling, and link analysis. The Crime Analyst synthesizes large datasets to identify crime trends, series, and patterns; develops target-suspect profiles; and creates actionable intelligence products that support investigative efforts, crime suppression strategies, and community engagement initiatives.

Primary duties include: preparing and presenting reports and briefings for Police Department leadership, patrol districts, and specialized units; responding to requests for intelligence or statistical products; and making presentations to both internal and external stakeholders, including community groups and interagency partners. This position may also support operational functions such as the automated scheduling system, strategic planning efforts, and CompStat meetings.

A Crime Analyst is assigned either to a Patrol District or to the CompStat Unit and is responsible for tailoring analytical outputs to the needs of their assigned command staff. Crime Analysts collaborate regularly with detectives, command staff, external agencies, and data specialists to ensure accurate, timely, and impactful analysis. Additional duties may be assigned based on departmental needs and priorities.

A Master's Degree in Crime Analysis, Criminal Justice, Public Administration, Statistics, Data Science, or closely related field can be substituted for years of experience.
