Jonas Baughman is a 20-year veteran of the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department (KCPD). He has enjoyed a variety of assignments during his tenure at KCPD, including patrol, investigations, and administration. Jonas discovered the value and utility of data and crime analysis during his formative years as a patrol officer. He took that interest and cultivated it as a professional passion, leading to positions such as a sworn analyst, helping create the KCPD’s Real-Time Crime Center, supervising a squad of gang intelligence detectives, and providing strategic analysis and other metrics for executive staff as an analyst assigned to the Office of Chief of Police. Captain Baughman is currently assigned to the KCPD's crime analysis unit, where he oversees the agency's crime/intelligence analysis teams, its Real-time Crime Center, and gang intelligence squad. Jonas' primary interests include spatial analysis/GIS and data visualization. His work, particularly in spatial analysis and implementation of RTM, has been published in industry publications as well as peer-reviewed journals. He co-authored Modern Policing Using ArcGIS Pro and is currently writing a second book focused on educating law enforcement command staff about the value of crime analysis and GIS, as well as how to use them to increase public safety. A staunch advocate of focusing on crime prevention, Jonas is grateful his work with RTM has garnered attention from police departments within the United States and abroad, as well as recognition from esteemed organizations such as the IACP and Center for Problem-Oriented Policing.
