Register Below
NORCAN is looking for presentations that deal with best practices, current research, technology, innovation within the discipline, and employee wellness. We are accepting abstracts for fundamental, intermediate, and advanced topics.
Example topics include:
- Case Studies where the analyst played a pivotal role. Detectives are welcome and encouraged to present with the analyst.
- Practical application examples: What works for you in your department?
- Presentations that focus on real/tangible skills and solutions are desired. Show us what your department is doing and how it benefits you. What seems mundane to you could be the breakthrough solution that another agency has been searching for.
- Microsoft Access/Excel/Power BI/OneNote
- The analyst’s role in working protests
- Ethnic/cultural differences
- i2 Analyst Notebook
- Crime analysis tools
- Investigative tools
- Crystal Reports
- ESRI/GIS
- Cell phone analysis/CDR processing/mobile data analysis
- Internal or external teams within your law enforcement agency
- Gangs
- Social media and OSINT topics
- Identity protection for crime analysts
- Mental health & wellness
- Mental health issues of suspects and victims and seeing things from their perspective
Presentation Guidelines:
- Presentations are being solicited for the afternoon of April 22nd and morning and afternoon on April 23rd. Presenters should be available to present on either day and will be assigned according to the conference committee.
- Presentations should be 45 minutes in length with an additional five minutes for Q&A. Presentations should be saved locally on the presenter’s computer and also on a thumb drive for backup.
- Presentations should be suitable for a classroom setting that could include non-law enforcement.
Please feel free to submit multiple abstracts outlining the topic(s) that you feel would be beneficial to the conference.
Don’t think you have enough to share in a full-length presentation? We will also have our Lightning Talks on Thursday morning where you can share a quick five-minute tip, trick, or technique. Super casual, no application and no PowerPoint required!
Please take the leap and submit a proposal to share your experience and expertise with your colleagues in Crime and Intelligence Analysis! Without presentations, we don’t have a conference, so the presenter’s role is very important. One presenter per presentation receives waived tuition/registration fee (excludes lightning talks).
All proposals must be submitted by email no later than December 3rd, 2024 and applicants will be notified of their acceptance by mid-January. Please fill out the form above and send it to conference@norcan.us.
