The seminar is an intermediate/advanced level course designed to provide those who are engaged in the law enforcement intelligence community or latent investigative assignments with enhanced skills for better integration of multi-faceted data, thereby resulting in a more refined and higher quality product. Students will explore each aspect of the "intelligence cycle", with emphasis on the analytic function and the computer/ technological interface and their relationship to the development and management of complex investigations.

STRATEGIES: The training will focus on the skills necessary to effectively process data and integrate seemingly unrelated information in order to develop conclusions and "actionable" products. The course will provide concepts of intelligence from three distinct perspectives: operational, analytical and technological. Various analytic concepts & techniques will be explored and blended into both manual and computerized formats. In addition, Internet research capabilities will be examined in order to enhance the spectrum of data available to intelligence practitioners.
