Benchmark Analytics®, leader in police force management software, announced today that Benchmark Management System® (BMS), First Sign® Early Intervention, and Case Action Response Engine® (C.A.R.E.) are now available on Amazon Web Services, Inc (AWS) in AWS Marketplace.

Minneapolis Police Department Chief Medaria Arradondo announces a new partnership with Benchmark Analytics. The MPD will implement Benchmark’s research-based, early warning and intervention police management system to analyze police officer performance data and detect variables that identify off-track behavior as a critical step to reform department practices, accountability, and transparency.

Walter Katz brings over 25 years of public service experience to the Benchmark team. Walter recently served under Mayor Rahm Emanuel as Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Safety to Chicago. In this position, Walter oversaw the most complex and multi-layered oversight structure in the United States, which included a civilian investigation office, a police board, a public safety inspector general, and a Federal court-appointed monitor.

Working in close collaboration with the University of Chicago and the Benchmark Research Consortium (also supported by The Joyce Foundation), this partnership will help close the current research and knowledge gap on how to most accurately identify law enforcement officers engaging in problematic conduct and citizen interactions.

Benchmark Analytics, a leading software provider of analytics-based police force management and early intervention solutions for law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S., and the University of Chicago are announcing a partnership to commercialize an early intervention system for police officers developed at the Center for Data Science and Public Policy.
