    Tell us more about yourself and exactly what you are looking for.

    Moderator's Note: It is completely voluntary to provide an introduction about yourself, usually in the 'Hail & Farewell' thread; being a new SWC member there is nothing for others to see what you have commented on before. As for
    exactly what are you looking for
    that is a valid question.

    Sorry guys it was not my intention to ignore forum etiquette.

    I am a civillian analyst currently working as a contractor for law enforcement.

    Davidbfpo - thanks for the reply.

    Fuchs - For what it's worth I agree with you,and perhaps ironically given my current profession, I am a big believer in personal privacy.

    Slapout9 -Probably the best way to explain what I'm looking for is by giving an overview what I'm experiencing:

    1) Reports (by analysts) that describe crimes/criminal groups, there is no "so what/now what" mindset.
    2) A reluctance by middle and senior management to be more tactical in their approach, for example working with different units to develop a more detailed picture of the environment they are operating in.
    3) Communication - we have had guys working different ends of the same case from the same office, and yet not realized this. I believe the challenge is getting officers comfortable that sharing information won't compromise their case/job security.

    Basically I'd just appreciate hearing a different perspective,from what I've read so far on this forum there are folks from all kinds of backgrounds here on small wars, and I'm keen to learn from that.

    I have highlighted what may be the problem. It is going to take a while for you to be accepted. Have you ever worked the Streets? How long have you been an analyst?

    If understand the problem correctly? you are frustrated because of a lack of results from your hard efforts?
