This position exists to collect, evaluate, collate, and analyze criminal and intelligence information which includes the use of charting techniques, time lines and telephone toll analysis, search warrant return analysis all used to develop a hypothesis or inference for investigations. Computer research must be conducted with the use of both open source databases as well as those that contain sensitive criminal justice information. This includes access to various public and criminal justice databases where they will obtain information to help create documentation to assist with case organization, investigative support, identify possible suspects, witnesses and persons of interest and their whereabouts, and prosecution. Data will be collected from various databases and then applied to specific analytical software to produce timelines and link charts. All of this helps to create a bigger picture of those involved in the crime and provides information to help ensure officer safety and successful prosecution. Analysts will also reach out to other organizations to obtain information to help to support the criminal investigation. This may include contacting other law enforcement agencies for additional information. Once the research is complete, analysis and inductive logic are used to determine which operation activities and procedures are required for each situation and request.

The customer base for analysis includes all law enforcement agencies, local, state, tribal and federal in Colorado. This analyst works closely with local jurisdictions and federal law enforcement to provide investigative assistance possibly when Agents of the CBI are not involved in the case.

The position is responsible for determining which databases and information to search to locate information that meets their needs and other information that will support their investigation or concerns. This may include developing an alert bulletin or a bulletin to assist in collecting information that is sent to specific partners.
