TACTICAL, STRATEGIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE CRIME ANALYSIS TRAINING FOR CRIME
ANALYSTS, COMMUNITY POLICE OFFICERS, AND MANAGERS
The Des Moines Police Department, Des Moines, Iowa is hosting an intensive
Crime Analysis Applications training course June 4-8, 2001. The course will
be limited to 35 students and taught by Mr. Steven Gottlieb, M.P.A. Mr.
Gottlieb instructs crime analysis courses for the California Department of
Justice and is the Coordinator of the Crime and Intelligence Analysis
Certification Program operated by the California Department of Justice and
the California State University system. He has also presented his Crime
Analysis course for the Federal Bureau of Investigation at the FBI Academy
in Quantico, Virginia, and at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police College in
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This will be a "hands-on" applications course
which takes a "learning-by-doing," practical approach to training.
Students will actually perform tasks associated with crime analysis work.
Each participant will also receive a copy of Mr. Gottlieb's book, "Crime
Analysis: From First Report to Final Arrest," a digest over 600 pages which
explains how to design, implement, and operate a crime analysis program. It
also shows how to use statistical techniques to forecast crime and predict
when and where criminals are likely to strike again. Each participant will
also receive a copy of Mr. Gottlieb's 150-page "Crime Analysis Study Guide
and Workbook," which will be used throughout the class. Tuition is $495.00
and includes the week of instruction, the text, workbook, and a wealth of
handout materials.
The course is designed for: 1. The recently employed crime analyst who has
limited experience, or those who work in a crime analysis unit but have
received little of the formal training necessary to develop analytical
skills. 2. Law enforcement personnel, community police officers and
coordinators, and management personnel who want to learn how to use crime
data and information to increase their effectiveness, develop "POP"
projects, and learn how to properly report crime statistics to government
officials and the media. 3. Law enforcement or civilian managers who are
developing a crime analysis function within their agency, or who currently
supervise or may supervise crime analysis personnel.
Interested persons should contact Senior Police Officer Eric Moorman, at the
Des Moines Police Department, Research and Development, 25 East 1st Street,
Des Moines, Iowa 50309,
