The training and development of criminal intelligence professionals has long suffered from a range of challenges including the absence of rigorous training standards and a failure to embrace new disciplines or branches of knowledge. This has undermined analysts’ abilities to keep pace with the evolution of crime. The VALCRI syllabus was developed to address this problem by providing instruction in a holistic set of organisational, operational, informational, technological and cognitive skills. We outline the evolution of this syllabus and what we hope to achieve through its delivery.
