Episode: 00304 Released on February 2, 2026 Description: New tools often arrive faster than the discipline needed to use them well. Randy Stickley returns for another installment of Before You Leap to examine how artificial intelligence is entering analytic workflows and what analysts must consider before relying on it. The discussion explores AI hallucinations, large language models, writing and research augmentation, and the enduring role of human judgment in law enforcement analysis. Through real-world examples, cognitive illusions, and courtroom implications, this episode outlines where AI can support analysts, where it can mislead them, and why tradecraft, validation, and critical thinking must remain firmly in the driver’s seat. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking!

Episode: 00303 Released on January 26, 2026 Description: Debbie Osborne returns to Analyst Talk to break down something few analysts have attempted: using AI to help write and publish a professional book. Debbie breaks down how she built the book, from structuring the content and collaborating with generative AI to validating sources, avoiding plagiarism, and working through the editorial process for a second edition with an academic publisher. This conversation tackles the real questions analysts have about AI, including authorship, credibility, transparency, and trust. Debbie explains why AI did not replace her expertise, but expanded what was possible, allowing one analyst to build a comprehensive crime pattern resource that would normally require an entire team. If you are curious about using AI for serious analytical writing, research, or professional legacy projects, this episode is a must listen. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking!

Episode: 00296 Released on December 8, 2025 Description: Jeff Asher joins Analyst Talk with Jason Elder to unpack what crime trends really tell us and why the public so often gets the story wrong. He shares his journey from CIA analyst to New Orleans crime analyst and consultant, and explains how learning to write clearly and communicate with decision makers shaped his entire career. Jason and Jeff dig into focused deterrence in New Orleans, the response time crisis that left serious victims waiting hours for help, and the data driven changes that followed. They explore how crime trends are framed in the media, why short lived spikes can dominate headlines while long declines are ignored, and what it takes to talk about crime in a way that is honest, specific, and grounded in evidence. Jeff also breaks down the real time crime index, a national level look at crime that helps explain what is happening across the country much faster than traditional reporting. He shares insights from his own show, Jeff-alytics, where he continues conversations about data, crime trends, and the gap between perception and reality. The episode closes with practical advice for analysts on writing, presenting, and getting leadership to actually use their work.
