We are dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness and overall knowledge in the fields of crime and intelligence analysis.

What is the Crime Analysts of Illinois

The Crime Analysts of Illinois exists (C.A.I.) to enhance the effectiveness and consistency of crime analysis by assisting in the establishment of crime analysis units and by providing an information network. One of our goals is to establish a mentor program so that new analysts can visit other departments to get ideas on setting up a crime analysis unit that would conform to their particular department. C.A.I. is dedicating to exchanging ideas about crime, crime patterns, criminals, and analytical techniques. In addition,  we  act as a gateway for information exchange and sharing amongst our members and the law enforcement communities that we serve.

 

What is  the role of a Crime Analyst?        

The crime analyst helps law enforcement agencies and detectives focus on areas of concern, growing problems, and geographical areas in a particular jurisdiction where crime prevention techniques appear to be ineffective. Crime analysts gather, compile, and interpret data from crime reports to determine trends in a particular geographical area. A analyst carefully reviews all information including crime reports, calls for service, arrest reports, and notices from other agencies received by the police department, looking for crime occurrences such as series, sprees, hot spots, and trends. Once such a problem is identified, the analyst disseminates this information to the rest of the department. Patrol and investigative commanders use this information to develop strategies to address any emerging or ongoing crime problems. Crime Analysis involves the study of crime patterns and trends affecting a jurisdiction.
