Crime and data analysts will be responsible for providing information to support strategic and operational policing, combining and analysing data from multiple sources, raising awareness of trends and patterns, and more.

Successful applicants will undergo a five-week training programme which may be held in Templemore.

The job description goes on to say: "An Garda Siochana is in the process of building a data ecosystem (or a system of data value chains) that ensures the same data is used for both operational and analytical purposes, as envisaged in the Government strategy APSFF.

"Reporting to a Senior Analyst, those appointed will work directly as part of police investigation and management information teams.

"They will leverage data from multiple sources to support better outcomes for victims and inform organisational decisions through information-led policing.

"Given the rapid digitisation of society and crime, those appointed will regularly have opportunities to think of new and innovative ways of solving problems and crimes, and contribute to the development of new formal methodologies/approaches to data analysis."

The deadline for applications is Monday, March 21, 2022 and here's how you can apply.
