About Rock Hill- growing city of 73,000; suburb of Charlotte. City is very parks and recreation friendly with numerous indoor and outdoor activities and locations.

Rock Hill police department- sworn around 160, total staff a little over 200. Around 60,000 citizen calls for service a year, about 1,000 reported incidents a month.

Job- you will be working with me, an analyst with 17 years of experience who is passionate about crime analysis, otherwise I wouldn’t be still in the profession.

Software- the usual stuff- ArcGIS transitioning to PRO, Microsoft products, Zuercher (central square) is our RMS/CAD, looking to use PowerBI, QDA Miner, Crimestat, NodeXL and other softwares more with a second analyst. We also are getting Lumen with the grant money and some LPR’s. I’m also looking into being more involved in cell phone analysis in various ways.

Any questions, reach out to me. I’ve been the only analyst EVER at our department (since 2005) and have been trying to get a 2nd position for years. It’s very important we get some applicants that would be a good fit.
