Sean Malinowski, Ph.D.
Senior Management Team
Dr. Malinowski managed the design and operation of LAPD’s new Emergency Operations Center that houses the LAPD Regional Crime Center, is Commanding Officer (C/O) of the LAPD’s COMPSTAT Unit, and serves as the principal investigator on a large scale federally funded grant titled “The Los Angeles Predictive Policing Project” which will develop and test methodologies for deploying discretionary police resources based on highly sophisticated predictive analysis models. The Crime Center provides late breaking investigative information to officers and detectives throughout the City and the Region and provides data mining, geo-profiling, suspect identification and follow up services for Area and specialized unit detectives responding to emerging crime patterns.

Dr. Malinowski is a Senior Fellow at the Homeland Security Management Institute at Long Island University.
