The essential guide for police commanders on using crime analysis to lead more effectively.

Crime analysis can empower modern law enforcement agencies to make data-driven decisions that improve public safety, provide organizational effectiveness, and drive community engagement. Yet understanding how best to use this information to lead your agency strategically can be a common challenge.

Leading with Data: A Police Commander's Guide to GIS and Crime Analysis explains critical concepts and strategies to derive actionable insights and enable powerful decision-making. Written to be immediately useful for police commanders who may be new to crime analysis, it is a practical reference guide and provides both introductory and advanced topics.

Commanders will learn how to:

• Use crime analysis and GIS to provide substantial insight into the causes of a problem and design the best possible strategies for collaboration and positive outcomes
• Leverage crime analysts effectively to support operation and strategic decision-making
• Successfully implement crime analysis and GIS into applicable workflows
• Build organizational support for crime analysis as a core function of modern law enforcement

By the end of the book, you'll know the fundamental concepts of GIS and crime analysis and be able to build on that exposure by encouraging the use of the different types of analysis for day-to-day operations as well as strategic planning, crime accountability meetings, and public outreach.

Today's policing requires police leadership to know how to use crime analysis and data-driven strategies effectively for problem-solving purposes - and this book shows the way.
