Description:
Data dashboards can help law enforcement agencies manage, analyze, and display actionable information in a user-friendly interface. This publication, Developing a Concept of Operations Document, is part of the three-part Designing an Effective Law Enforcement Data Dashboard series produced by the SEARCH Group, Inc and the Police Executive Research Forum. Intended for agency project managers, IT staff, and other stakeholders, it provides a roadmap for developing a concept of operations (ConOps) document for a law enforcement dashboard. The purpose of a ConOps is to ensure that all stakeholders share a common vision and understanding of a dashboard’s capabilities; this publication includes checklists, templates, and a complete example dashboard that readers can modify. Each publication in this series is based on research and consultation with law enforcement leaders and subject matter experts and contains examples of real-world operational dashboards and tips for planning, designing, implementing, and sustaining data dashboards in a law enforcement agency.
