The Real Time Operations Centre (RTOC) of the Calgary Police Service is currently looking for 3 Crime Analysts. Just to give you a little information about the Centre and these positions, the RTOC is open 24/7 to provide real-time intelligence and investigative support to both frontline patrol officers and detectives. Four teams comprised of 2 Duty Inspectors (one inside and one outside), 3 sworn positions (providing deconfliction, investigative, and directed patrol support), and 5 civilians (1 Crime Analyst and 4 Information Coordinators/Data Miners) staff the Centre.
Team shifts are from 0600-1800 and 1800-0600 for all positions except the Analysts, who work a combined 11/12 hour schedule (Days: 0600 or 0700-1800, Nights: 1600-0300). Rotations are either 4 or 5 days in length and begin on either Monday, Wednesday or Friday. For these rotations, the teams work (1) 2 days, 2 nights OR (2) 2 days, 3 nights OR (3) 3 days, 2 nights.
The RTOC Analysts provide up-to-date tactical and strategic crime analysis support to patrol units, and investigative analytical support to Major and Organized Crime Units. They are required to solve major public safety and law enforcement problems in real-time, without the advantage of reflective time and with the likelihood that information they relay to frontline responders will be acted upon quickly. The CPS is currently examining various IT products to enhance its data analytics capacity, which will result in greater demand for the RTOC Analysts to engage in predictive and prescriptive analyses with respect to crime patterns and trends. Ultimately, this means these positions will evolve and expand in the coming years, which makes them even more exciting!
