Hi MACA friends,

Our agency is exploring the creation of a Crime Analysts 2 position to provide upward mobility and career progression within our unit. At the present, our agency only has a single Crime Analyst title that is not classified as a 1 or 2 position. 

I am seeking assistance from anyone who has experience with creating or implementing tiered analyst positions. Can anyone provide information on the following: 

1. Do you have examples of job postings, job descriptions, or policies that distinguish, between a Crime Analyst 1 or 2?
2. Has your agency incorporated union contract language addressing these levels? Please share if any.
3. What lessons have you learned in setting up these positions to support analysts development and retention? 

Any shared resources would be greatly appreciated as I dive into this new challenge.
