THE POSITION:

IDEAL CANDIDATE STATEMENT
 The Sacramento Police Department is seeking a highly motivated experienced Analyst to join our Crime Analysis Unit. The position requires the Analyst to analyze and collect criminal intelligence data from multiple sources; to conduct research and analysis of the data to support the Police Department’s functions. The Analyst will work with sworn and civilian personnel, ranging in rank and title, to gather statistical information, provide analysis, complete summary reports, and offer recommendations in a timely and accurate manner. The Analyst will specialize in the recognition and identification of criminal activities, series, trends, and patterns and competently use a variety of computerized database systems to conduct the research.

The Ideal Candidate must be able to work in a small group setting and need minimal supervision. The person must have the ability to triage requests while balancing weekly assignments.

This journey-level classification is populated with multiple incumbents. Incumbents may be assigned to perform either the entire range of support functions and administrative and technical duties for a division or department or a broad range of functional program management duties for programs with department or Citywide impact.
