NIRO Knowledge

We know what the public and media have to say about policing but what do police officers themselves have to say about what makes a good police officer and what makes a bad police officer?  And to add to that, what similarities or differences are there between American and Swedish police perspectives on good and bad police officers?  Find out in this new episode of NIRO Knowledge.

Here it is!  We are going Back to the Future!  Well, we're looking back in history in order to look ahead into the future and take with us the principles of the Father of Policing, Sir Robert Peel.  These core values and his principles can guide us towards a better vision on what policing should have remained as.  We have some catching up to do since we derailed the community involved aspect of policing along with the idea that reducing crime (thus reducing our victims) is the goal.

Reinventing American policing was the topic of Dr Cynthia Lum's broadcast with George Mason University on Monday 2/22.  It is a topic that needs to be addressed and is demanded to be addressed in American policing today.  I talk about her presentation and how I believe analysts can be the momentum for growth and change in the policing culture to progress to being integrated with our communities.  I also bring actionable analyses, an open mind approach by analysts towards the problems and the strategic solve, and the big change Ithaca NY is looking to implement with their police department.  And of course, join the NIRO Crime Analysis Slack group if you are an analyst, academic or pracademic looking to connect and share knowledge with people around the globe.

I speak about the most recent webinar I hosted about top 5 analytical tools.  I also speak about the two podcasts from this year and how I believe changes need to be made.  Data is siloed or not captured or incorrectly captured and I believe we can help to do more.
