Bigger Than Data: A Law Enforcement Analyst's Roadmap to Marketability, Professional Development, Fulfillment & Joy

The world we live in runs on data. That means the world is, in part, run by data analysts. Law Enforcement Analysts are responsible for strategic and predictive crime analysis; they serve to report intelligence information, trends, and crime data. Agencies use that data to drive the effectiveness of evidence-based modern policing to create crime prevention and control strategies targeting a reduction in violent crime and assault and criminal property theft. This book is all about transforming you, as a Law Enforcement Analyst, into an information management professional who brings value to your agency operations as a productive, confident, growth-oriented, and deeply valued leader who thrives professionally and personally. As Vice President of Administration of the IACA, subject matter expert in analytics for over 42 years, and author of multiple law enforcement analytical presentations, I fully see the value in this book! Dawn's unique approach to building effective analytical systems in alignment with leadership of self unveils what is missing from this industry. Analysts who follow this guide will gain the mindset and tools needed to create a long-term, valued career in law enforcement analytics! Annie Mitchell, Industry leader, Subject Matter Expert, Vice President of Admin for IACA, private consulting business Dawn and I have worked together for many years, traveling the country as subject matter experts in crime analysis.

Dawn helps analysts to really understand their data, improve their efficiency and build their confidence. The end result is a more actionable analysis that supports better policing and saves lives.
