Crime Analysis presentation

Introduction This week you will submit your PowerPoint audio/video presentation to management on the benefits of creating a crime analysis unit for a police department.

During the course, you submitted written drafts of the project sections. For this assignment, you will incorporate all the instructor feedback you receive and create a final PowerPoint audio/video presentation.

Activity Instructions This activity will tie together everything you have learned throughout this course. You will be taking the role of a crime analysis advocate. Your goal is to “sell” the idea of forming a crime analysis unit to your fictional police chief.

Using the assignments from Weeks 1-6, provide the following information:

Introduce your fictional police department. How many sworn officers do you have? What is the population of your city? What is the crime rate? How many UCR Part I Crimes occur per year? What does crime analysis do for us, in terms of crime prevention and situational awareness? Why should we do crime analysis? Make a connection between the use of crime analysis and effective policing.

Recommend crime analysis software for the unit. What types are needed? Then, justify the expense. Why spend the money? What benefit is there? What positions must we create within our crime analysis unit? What is the role of each position? What should a candidate for each role possess, in terms of training, education and competencies?

Should we assign police officers to fill roles within the crime analysis unit? Or, should we hire non-sworn civilian staff? Why?

In your conclusion, summarize your findings and provide your recommendation.

Writing and Submission Requirements 20-30 slides (Including Introduction and Conclusion Slides) Presentation must be at least 15 minutes in length Any photo, video, or other image used that is not created by the student must be cited. Must include a references page in APA format. For standard requirements, review the Discussion and Written Assignment Expectations. For grading, review the Project Presentation Grading Rubric.
