Do you have experience in criminal justice, crime analysis, research, or data analysis - and the ability to turn complex information into actionable intelligence? Your work will help investigators identify connections, track crime guns and violent offenders, and disrupt criminal activity in our community.

Key Responsibilities
  • Analyze NIBIN leads and provide actionable intelligence to investigators

  • Create link analysis charts and reports to identify connections within complex investigations

  • Analyze firearm trends, criminal activity, gang structures, violent offenders, and sources of crime guns

  • Conduct open-source and covert social media research to assist in identifying criminal networks

  • Prepare and present analytical reports and findings during CGIC meetings

  • Work with FWPD, ATF, ICGTF, and other law enforcement partners to share intelligence and disrupt criminal activity

  • Monitor cameras, databases, and live information feeds while supporting ongoing investigations

What You Bring: Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in criminal justice or a related field

  • Two to three years of experience in criminology, crime analysis, research analysis, statistical analysis in law enforcement, or a combination of relevant training and experience preferred

  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to collect, interpret, and explain complex crime data

  • U.S. citizenship and ability to pass required local, NCIC, NIBIN, IDACS, FBI-CJIS, and ATF background clearances

Preferred Certifications

  • Ability to obtain IDACS/NCIC certification within 90 days of hire

Technical Skills & Knowledge
  • Crime analysis, research methods, statistical analysis, and intelligence gathering

  • Ability to identify firearm trafficking patterns, straw purchasers, multi-gun purchases, and other suspicious firearm activity

  • NIBIN procedures and firearm-specific crime data analysis

  • Statistical and analytical software, including Stata, SPSS, and ArcGIS

  • Social media mining and social network analysis

  • Integration of criminal, geographic, and demographic data to identify crime patterns and trends

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain findings and testify professionally

  • Spanish or Burmese language skills preferred

Important Work Conditions

Work is primarily performed in an office environment and requires extended periods of sitting and computer use. Occasional lifting of up to 10 pounds may be required.

This position may require travel for training within Indiana and nationally. The employee must be able to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and maintain objectivity when analyzing sensitive law enforcement information.

This position is grant-funded. Continued employment may depend on the availability of grant funding, and the position may be discontinued if funding expires, is reduced, or is terminated.

Why Work for the City of Fort Wayne?

Use your analytical skills to directly support public safety and help law enforcement identify and disrupt violent criminal activity. You'll work alongside local, state, and federal partners, develop specialized expertise in crime gun intelligence, and provide information that can make a real difference in investigations.
