Cass County Sheriff’s Office to Hire Crime Analyst

Cass Co – Sheriff Jeff Weber announced Wednesday new career opportunities and job openings at the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.

Included in the additional staff are a Crime Analyst, Network Technician, and Clerk. The Sheriff’s Office also posted that they are filling one vacancy for Communication Officer and one Victim’s Advocate.

“Some of the positions are needed to help with the growing needs of the Office, said Sheriff Jeff Weber. The newly created position of Crime Analyst at the Sheriff’s Office will help us with the integration of evidence based, research-driven strategies for the day-to-day operations.”

The crime analyst will collect, analyze, and interpret data to develop strategies to fight crime and increase public safety. Successful data-driven strategies such as hot-spots policing, problem-oriented policing, and intelligence-led policing use the work of crime analysts to reduce crime by focusing resources on high crime places, high-risk offenders, and repeat victims. This analytical work is essential to the success of these strategies.
