Join us May 8th for a fascinating look at the use of number-crunching in sleuthing.
In “Crime Intelligence Analysis Unit; Discovering and exploring the details”, Kevin Mason, head of the Unit, will give us a behind-the-scenes look at what his team does, how data can be used to catch criminals, the analyst’s mindset and how his work ties in to the broader picture of law-enforcement.
The Crime Intelligence Analysis Unit of the Ottawa Police Service provides tactical and strategic support to operational, investigative and Executive teams ranging from tracking crime patterns and trends to geographic profiling of incidents and the identification of repeat offenders. The unit also monitors performance and changes in the areas of crime reporting, solvency, arrests and victimization.

Before the meeting, CCW will be holding its annual pizza bash and elections.
The meeting starts at 6:30 pm. Please note we will be at Ottawa City Hall,
Colonel By Room.
