An analysis of police practice is conducted through four personas of officers. The personas are derived through an analysis of an extensive set of qualitative data data from both police experience, and from observations and interviews. The personas are then situated in scenarios to visualize information related problems in the practice. The paper conclude that persona is a useful technique to analyze police work for design
