Criminal intelligence analysis is an investigative tool that supports investigators or operational units during the course of an investigation. Through data collection and interpretation, the process of analysis allows analysts and investigators to make sense of assembled facts and discover the nature of relationships between seemingly unconnected elements.
Introduction to Criminal Intelligence Analysis is designed to provide law enforcement personnel with basic intelligence analysis skills. The course focuses on the intelligence process, critical thinking, and link analysis techniques. Learners will also apply various analysis techniques to a case study and prepare a criminal intelligence report based on that exercise.
