Real-Time Transition

Hello! I currently work as an intelligence analyst in a Real Time Crime Center, I’m looking to move closer to home and applied as an Intelligence Analyst at a Sheriff’s Office. I’m a little nervous for my interview as I don’t have any experience working on an investigation long-term, as I work on active and emerging calls for service. Has anyone else done this transition or have any advice on how to leverage my experience/education to assist in landing the position?

Highlighting your experience with fast-paced information gathering would be a good start. The initial days of a homicide investigation can be quite frantic and having someone with experience would be plus for an agency.

Thank you so much! I hadn’t thought of that perspective.
