Crime Analysis on Demand

On April 19, 2018, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) released a request for proposal (RFP) to solicit a cadre of subject matter experts to support the Crime Analysis on Demand Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program. Through this program, experts will provide assistance directly to law enforcement agencies to advise on effective uses of data to predict, prevent, and respond to crime.

BJA NTTAC is offering resources to the Portland, Oregon Police Bureau (PPB) to facilitate the delivery of Crime Analysis on Demand training and technical assistance (TTA) resources. Through the TTA resources, the PPB aims to improve workflow and processes in order to advance operations as they see an increase in demand for crime analysis.

The knowledge provided from analyzing IBR data has contributed to strategic and operational changes in law enforcement agencies, the creation of more effective prevention programs, the establishment of educational programs for victims and advocacy groups, and changes in justice policy.
