Most police use-of-force incidents are investigated by detectives that generally investigate crimes against people. Officer-involved use-of-force investigations are not the same as investigating crimes against people and require a different perspective and skillset. These skills are crucial to thorough and complete investigations, reviews, and analyses. The information derived from the initial investigation will be the anchor for all subsequent processes. Join our Enhanced Force Investigations course for a deeper dive into Human Performance Under Stress, the Cognitive Interview, and the Global Investigative Process.

White-collar crime has adapted and evolved, but investigators have struggled to keep pace due to the increasingly complex modern financial transactions landscape. As a result, criminals have gained a upper hand, staying ahead of the curve, while law enforcement agencies have fallen behind, struggling to keep up with the latest tactics and technologies." My thoughts on this are that it's a concerning issue that highlights the need for law enforcement agencies to invest in ongoing training, education, and technological advancements to stay ahead of the evolving nature of white-collar crime. Investigators must be equipped with the latest tools and expertise to effectively combat these sophisticated crimes and bring criminals to justice. The gap between criminal adaptability and investigative capabilities must be bridged to ensure justice is served.l

Crime-Solving Secrets: How Law Enforcement Agencies Utilize Internal Data and OSINT Learn how law enforcement agencies leverage internal data and open-source intelligence (OSINT) to enhance criminal investigations and operational effectiveness. https://lnkd.in/d3gMunng #espysys #irbis #osint

This article is a good example of how police use of force data is misused to reach erroneous conclusions about officer behavior and misconduct. The article starts with the assumption that any use of force by police officers is a bad thing and that departments should intervene early to prevent officers from using force. Next the article looked that the top 20 officers who used force in the Portland Police Bureau and concluded that these officers were engaged in bad behavior and should be retrained or punished. According to a UCLA law professor they interviewed: “The goal of law enforcement should be avoiding harm when possible. When you see an officer engaging in a cluster of repeatedly using force far more than his peers, clearly there’s something about the way in which that officer is doing their job that, while it may be legal, may be unnecessary.” The goal of law enforcement is to fight crime and protect the community. The tools that officers have to accomplish these goals are arrests and citations. If a suspect flees or resists arrest, then the officer may lawfully use force to bring the suspect into custody. About 4% of arrests result in a use of force due to suspect resistance or flight. The more arrests an officer makes, the more uses of force the officer will have. Officers who are assigned to patrol in high crime areas and who make lots of arrests will have more uses of force than officers who perform administrative functions. The only way to reduce the number of times an officer uses force is to reduce the number of arrests that officer makes. The only way to eliminate the need for officers to use force is to stop making arrests altogether. This is the goal of the Defund The Police movement. The article says that Early Warning Systems (aka Early Intervention Systems) are the solution to the use of force "problem." EWS/EIS is a joke and a waste of money. These systems have an incredibly high false positive rate and will flag the most proactive and productive officers for additional scrutiny and "intervention." This discourages officers from making arrests and leads to higher crime rates. Most of the media reports that examine policing data use junk science to reach their dramatic conclusions. Unfortunately, these media articles influence both the public and policy makers and have led to many counterproductive regulations on law enforcement. #policereform #policemisconduct #policeaccountability #police #policetraining #policeofficer #policeofficers #policedepartment #lawenforcement #lawenforcementtraining #lawenforcementofficer #policechief #datascience #data #dataanalytics #dataanalysis #datadriven #evidencebased #portland #portlandoregon #portlandor #oregon #statistics #datadrivendecisions #evidencebasedpractice #publicsafety #arrest #crime #crimeprevention #criminaljustice #criminaljusticereform https://lnkd.in/dF5jNsMY

Happy National Crime and Intelligence Analyst Appreciation Day! The men and women I work with at RMIN and DCI are outstanding and an incredible part of our LE community! Thank you for all you do! Crime analysts collect and analyze data from various sources and locations. It could include anything from police records to government statistics or even social media networks — whatever it takes to gain insight into criminal activity so those police departments can better understand what’s going on in their communities. The information they uncover is used to help inform police officers about how they can most effectively fight crime, as well as inform citizens on how they can protect themselves against it. Identifying trends in criminal behavior helps law enforcement predict when and where crimes might occur, which allows them to allocate resources where they are needed.

Such enthralling and vivid topics. An excellent position to actively and concretely contribute to the shaping of EU internal security policies. #europol #counterterrorism #cybercrime #financialcrime
