Crime and Intelligence Analysis Certificate

Offered in cooperation with the state of California Department of Justice, the Certificate in Crime and Intelligence Analysis is designed for in-service law enforcement personnel and pre-service students. Courses focus on the analysis of crimes which most frequently come to the attention of field and investigative officers and those of interest to intelligence officers.

During the program, students learn how to:

• Analyze crime and use law enforcement data to forecast when and where criminals are likely to strike.
• Detect and understand distinctions among crime patterns.
• Use crime and intelligence information to create directed patrol or tactical action plans that lead to an effective response.
• Collect data, subject it to statistical tests, develop and test hypotheses, and write conclusions of findings in a manner which adheres to commonly accepted criminal justice research standards.

Students successfully completing the program receive a certificate from UCR Extension and an official designation as a Certified Crime Analyst through the California Department of Justice.
