How to a Analyze a Series with GeoProfile

For law enforcement use only. Researchers and media should contact me to inquire about use of GeoProfile.

Step One: Learn About Geographic Profiling

While extensive training is not required to use GeoProfile, a little background reading will ensure investigators submit the series properly and make the most out of the profile in their investigation:

Investigators seeking to make geographic profiling a core component of their investigations would benefit from a more thorough exploration of the theory by reading the Literature Review section of my thesis as well as the resources listed here.

Step Two: Sign up for a GeoProfile Account at BAIR Analytics

Step Three: Upload Your Series Using the BAIR Analytics Web Interface

Save all the incidents in a series to a separate file using one of the following formats: Excel, Access, text (comma separated values) or ATAC. Using the web interface, upload the file and map the columns to the appropriate GeoProfile fields.

Step Four: View Your Geographic Profile in GeoProfile

As soon as GeoProfile finishes importing and analyzing your profile, you will receive an email with instructions on how to log in to GeoProfile at http://www.geoprofile.com/.

A geographic profiling expert, will review your geographic profile as soon as possible to ensure that the series was imported and analyzed correctly. As a result, you may notice slight adjustments to your profile if you login immediately and then login a few hours later. You will be contacted if any major changes needed to be made to your profile.
