Introduction of New Crime Analyst
The Chief is proud to introduce one of the newest members of the Takoma Park Police Department Criminal Investigations Division (CID), Ms. Kyleen Luy, who is the new Crime Analyst. A Crime Analyst studies criminal incidents in order to assist in identifying crime patterns, crime trends and crime problems. This identification not only assists our department, but other police agencies as well, in order to develop tactics and strategies to solve patterns, trends and problems. Ms. Luy will be able to forecast future occurrences in a crime series, so that an attempt to apprehend the offender can occur immediately; research modus operandi (MO) and characteristics of known offenders to determine who may have committed a crime or a crime series; as well as providing database querying, statistics and other types of law enforcement information, on demand. Ms. Luy will be working in conjunction with Montgomery County, Prince George’s County and the District of Columbia sharing statistics and information as criminals know no boundaries. Ms. Luy has already proven to be quite proficient in her new capacity and the Chief is very pleased with her addition to our police staff. Ms. Luy can be reached at the Takoma Park Police Department at 301.891.7130 or kyleenl@takomagov.org.
