About the Department

The San José Police Department is committed to providing excellent public safety services through community partnerships and 21st Century Policing practices.

The San José Police Department’s Crime Analysis Unit (CAU) is seeking skilled, motivated professionals for the Crime and Intelligence Analyst (CIA) position. This position plays a critical role in supporting the Department’s mission to enhance public safety through data-driven strategies, community collaboration, and 21st Century Policing practices.

The CIA transforms complex data into actionable intelligence that supports officers, investigators, and command staff. Using advanced analytical tools, law enforcement databases, and modern crime analysis techniques, the CIA identifies crime patterns, forecasts emerging trends, and provides insights that guide investigations, resource deployment, and strategic planning.

Key responsibilities include collecting, analyzing, and interpreting crime, staffing, and performance data; conducting complex statistical and spatial analyses; developing reports and visual products; and identifying links between offenders, criminal activity, and community factors. The position also collaborates with investigative units, command staff, and partner agencies to support the identification, suppression, and apprehension of offenders.

This position offers a unique opportunity for professionals who are passionate about data analysis, problem-solving, and public service. The CAU provides a dynamic work environment that values innovation, professional growth, and a shared commitment to advancing public safety across the City of San José.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Establish and maintain information systems by designing, creating, and updating databases; analyze and enter data into law enforcement systems; prepare and maintain files and reference materials; research websites and social media; and share intelligence with other analysts and partner agencies. Responsibilities also include preparing flow charts, link analyses, and crime maps; conducting financial and asset investigations; and producing analytical reports that support investigations and operational decisions.
• Develop and deliver training to unit and department personnel by creating instructional materials, gathering subject matter input, and conducting sessions related to crime and intelligence analysis tools, data systems, and analytical techniques.
• Support Department operations by gathering and disseminating critical information on wanted individuals, public safety concerns, and other law enforcement matters, as well as representing the Unit at interdepartmental and external meetings.
