Criminal Analyst
In 2011, the Cape Breton Regional Police Service established the position of Criminal Analyst in its move towards an intelligent-led model of policing, for the investigation and prevention of crime based on trends in our community.
The Criminal Analyst gathers, monitors and analyzes crime data to identify any patterns and highlight the issues and the repeat offenders. With this information, the CBRPS can manage resources more effectively, according to where they're needed, using targeted, focused crime prevention and enforcement. The Analyst also provides assistance to ongoing investigations.
