New for October 2007
The Police Foundation and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services have released an important new resource for law enforcement executives and analysts. Integrated Intelligence and Crime Analysis: enhanced Information Management for Law Enforcement Leaders examines the disconnect between crime analysis and intelligence analysis found in many of the nation’s law enforcement agencies. 

This report identifies the key challenges limiting criminal intelligence sharing, the aims of the integrated analysis model, and the way that police departments—big or small—can work individually and collectively toward the new intelligence-led policing paradigm of modern policing.

The report is available online at

In these efforts, successful practitioners follow a simple precept: effective action depends upon insightful analysis.

New Master's Degree in Intelligence Analysis offered by Johns Hopkins University

The Division of Public Safety Leadership of the Johns Hopkins University School of Professional Studies in Business and Education 
offers the Master of Science in Intelligence Analysis. The program is designed to enhance the analytical skill levels of intelligence 
analysts, to include federal, state, and local criminal intelligence analysts. It is an intense course of study for current intelligence 
analysts who must enhance their tradecraft and analytical skills through creative and imaginative efforts.

Dynamic, robust leadership is as important as analytical expertise in meeting the goal of efficiently producing intelligence of value. 

Leaders within the intelligence community must foster and sustain a collaborative, ethical foundation on which to build intelligence 
products. These products must be based on collectively embraced standards of objectivity, quality, timeliness, and relevance.

The program focuses on four primary areas of competency.

1. Ethics, logic, and strategy
2. Dynamic written, oral, and visual presentation of intelligence
analysis and highly honed research skills
3. Leadership, teamwork, and collaboration in developing 
intelligence of value to the consumer
4. Institutionalizing imagination through creative thinking, 
stimulated by a worldview energized and broadened by exposure to the 
creative arts and the literary, historical, cultural, and 
sociological viewpoints pertinent to threats faced by the citizens of 
the United States and other nations. 

The program's web site is at http://www.psl.jhu.edu/int/msmanagement/index.cfm and applications are being accepted for the spring 07 semester.
