Why study Crime and Intelligence Analysis?
The certificate in Crime and Intelligence Analysis within the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services School of Criminal Justice that provides students with the conceptual knowledge and technical, analytical skills required of crime and intelligence analysis professionals.
While data and information have always been used by law enforcement organizations, the development of new information technology, crime reduction and prevention strategies, and pressures to address challenging public safety issues means that law enforcement organizations have increasingly started to rely on crime and intelligence analysis more than ever before. However, effective crime and intelligence analysis requires specialized knowledge and skills that have not typically been systematically taught in criminal justice programs. Therefore, this certificate will enhance students’ educational experience by offering a certificate that will teach them the knowledge and skills required of professionals working in the field of crime and intelligence analysis. Upon completion of the certificate, students will be prepared to begin work as crime and intelligence analysts in law enforcement organizations.
