• Good tactical analysis demands that analysts identify patterns as early as possible in their existence—on the second incident where the commonalities are strong enough—so that the agency can take quick action to quash them. This webinar covers five major mechanisms for such identification: report review and comparison, automated factor matching, threshold analysis, geographic identification, and intelligence-based identification. Supplemental exercises provided after the class will help analysts operationalize these methods in their own agencies.

Tactical crime analysis is a crucial element in modern policing, providing police with the tools and methodologies necessary to effectively combat crime. It's a frequent, action-oriented process meant to serve the immediate needs of the agency.

This webinar series will walk you through the entire tactical analysis process: from identifying a series, forecasting, tactical products, effective responses, all the way to post-arrest considerations. Instructors will provide real world examples and demonstrate techniques. The details for all sessions along with the class materials can be found here.

All Tactical Series webinars will be recorded; if you cannot attend the live session, we will provide the recording the next day. All registrants who are IACA members will receive Continuing Education Credits and you may request a certificate if you want one.
