The National Police Foundation will be hosting a CompStat360 webinar hosted by Ben Horwitz and Jeff Asher of AH Datalytics, for crime analysts and others in police departments who are using analyst products. CompStat360 is a proactive and problem-solving approach for law enforcement to integrate community needs and feedback into data-driven crime analysis and monitoring. Ben and Jeff will present on best practices in conveying complex information to a variety of audiences, which is an essential skill for analysts supporting CompStat360. The webinar will explore different ways of analyzing trends and using that analysis to highlight the “signal” from the “noise” to better inform strategic decision making. This webinar will also review the best practices for preparing analytic products for consumption including a focus on graphic design and “bottom-line up-front” methodology. The goal is that analysts will come away from this webinar with a better understanding of how to use data to tell effective stories in their CompStat programs.
