Description
MMSS students have the option of participating in the police projects for their senior thesis as opposed to conducting an individual thesis project. Students in the police projects work in teams of two to three and take on a participating police department as a client for data analysis. Under the supervision of advisor Dr. Mark Iris, the police project “match[es] police agencies with high volumes of data in need of analysis with students having strong quantitative analytical skills who are in need of data for their senior year theses”, culminating in a presentation of those results in the spring [1]. The following police departments are among those who have collaborated with MMSS students: Los Angeles, Long Beach, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Houston, and Chicago.
