This hands-on in-person course provides students with an introduction to using Microsoft Access for Crime Analysis, a program most analysts have but underutilize (or don't use at all).  Analysts who master database and reporting tools like Microsoft Access are much more efficient that analysts who do not. With this courses, students learn how to use Microsoft Access to query and filter crime data, make new data tables, combine data from different datasets, and create useful reports that can be used over and over again. We also cover creating custom forms, setting fields, and database best practices.  It's time to learn how to find patterns in crime, properly store this data, and produce meaningful reports!
