Geographic Profiling Analyst Training Geographic profiling can be
used effectively not just on serial violent crime, but also on serial
property/volume crime. Crime and Intelligence Analysts, as well as Detectives
and Investigators who regularly deal with serial property crime ( auto theft,
arson, break and enter, robbery etc. ), can benefit from training in geographic
profiling. A two-week course in Geographic Profiling for Analysts and
Investigators is available, structured as a theory week followed by a practice
week.
The first week of the course is a basic introduction to the
concepts and theory of geographic profiling, and is generally open to all
interested parties. It covers the mathematics and statistics behind the
technique. Crime pattern theory, mental maps and criminal hunting area concepts
are introduced. It examines how the results of Geographic Profiling can be
applied to investigative work, influence search strategies and lead to more
effective case analysis.
The second week is a hands-on instructional
course that focuses on applying geographic profiling techniques to actual cases
( historical or active ). This week of the course is frequently limited to law
enforcement personnel. Emphasis is on effective analysis, strategy and scenario
development and final report generation. The Rigel Analyst software is
introduced and is used extensively in this part of the course. Some familiarity
of GIS systems will be an asset, but is not essential.

Geographic Profiling Understudy Program
The Geographic Profiling Understudy Program
has been designed to provide comprehensive training to members of those
agencies wishing to establish their own geographic profiling capability. The
program is modeled after the FBI Police Fellowship training program and is free
to qualified members.
Candidates are expected to have at least 5
years with a police agency, with at least 3 years recent investigative
experience showing superior level of skill (must be documented). Additional
experience with crime mapping and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is
essential, along with the candidate being Computer literate, mathematically
competent and having above average oral and written communication skills.
Suitable candidates embark upon an 8
12 month study under the tutelage of a qualified Geographic Profiler. The
program curriculum consists of: Readings (geographic profiling, environmental
criminology, maps and cartography), Mathematics (probability and statistical
analysis, computer systems), Linkage Analysis, Criminal Profiling and actual
case work.
Please note: With the need to work
with actual current cases and the confidentiality of the data, Geographic
Profiling training is only offered through police training agencies and not
ECRI. For additional information on Geographic Profiling training or a list of
current agencies offering the training please contact
training@ecricanada.com.
