Friend of the Crime Map, Deborah Osborne, has been running an excellent blog dedicated to disseminating crime analysis news and resources to the analyst community. She has written numerous articles on crime analysis, has published a book on the subject, and provides free and low-cost webinars for analysts and command staff on intelligence-led policing and further training on crime analysis.
Now she has created a new website, independent of the blog, in order to provide more training and mentoring from crime analysts and command staff on intelligence-led policing and other issues important to the analyst and crime prevention/reduction community.

Deborah Osborne, of the Analysts’ Corner blog, just published a great article covering the importance of creating a strategy for crime reduction. This is the second article in a series she is writing about intelligence led policing. In the first article, Osborne compared the police department to a sports team, pointing out that sports teams have a strategy when they go up against an opposing team. She continues the metaphor in this article, saying that instead of a sports team, many police departments are functioning as hospital emergency rooms—dealing with whatever comes in the door first, without going after the root of the problems.
True crime reduction comes from having clear goals and a concise vision of what the police department wants to achieve. With a clear goal in mind, crime analysts are better able to define a strategy and suggest contingency plans. As well, Osborne points out, these strategies need to be fluid and reassessed as their implementation continues. Like a sports team, police departments need to examine each success and failure and change strategies accordingly.

Deborah Osborne, of Analysts’ Corner, recently recommended a great new blog: Policing and Intelligence. Similar to Analysts’ Corner, Policing and Intelligence is dedicated to discussing issues in—well—policing and intelligence. Currently the blog has some great posts and links to stories on how black market cigarettes are fueling terrorists groups, amalgamation in law enforcement, and many others.
Although it is still new (it just started last month) I hope that the blog can grow to be a great resource for news and analysis of intelligence-led policing efforts.

Deborah Osborne, former crime analyst and teacher, has just published an article at LawOfficer.com about the importance of crime analysis in law enforcement. She makes a case for improved statistics and resources through a great analogy comparing the time, effort, and usefulness of sports stats to crime statistics. It’s a great article and I highly recommend it for any crime analysts or anyone interested in moving toward a CompStat and Intelligence-led policing model for their department.

Deborah Osborne at Analysts’ Corner has elaborated somewhat on her earlier discussion about systems thinking and intelligence led policing. She quotes Jerry Radcliff at length and goes into more specifics about how systems thinking can help build a better model for intelligence led policing by looking at how separate systems interact and not just looking at the individual parts. It’s well worth a look.

Deborah Osborne just posted an interesting opinion piece over at Analysts’ Corner discussing the link between systems thinking and intelligence led policing. She calls for a breakdown of the barriers between analysts, leadership, and the criminal environment. But she also acknowledges that these changes will only come from the top down. Check out the post here, and leave your thoughts in the comments section.
