From personal experiences using AI tools like ChatGPT for medical research to broader implications for law enforcement analysts, Jan and Jason explore the power and pitfalls of integrating large language models into investigative workflows.

Episode: 00267 Released on May 19, 2025 Description: In this special Leapodcasts Deep Dive, host Jason Elder moderates a timely and thought-provoking panel featuring Mindy Duong, Noah Fritz, and Deb Piehl, centered on the IACA’s brand-new Innovative Ideas Forum. This episode explores the origins of the initiative, outlines the submission and voting process, and examines the motions that could reshape how the association governs, grows, and communicates.
Listeners will get the inside scoop on why this forum was created, how it aligns with IACA’s ongoing bylaws revisions, and what’s at stake with each submitted idea. From member engagement and motion thresholds to international representation and transparency, the panel debates the future of participatory governance in a global association.
The motions now up for vote will only move forward if at least 735 members vote in favor—a 10% threshold of the total membership. That means your vote matters. Even more important: encourage your peers to vote, share the link, and help make this process a success. These motions impact the entire membership, and the future of the IACA depends on active participation.
Whether you're new to the IACA or a longtime member, this episode offers a candid, constructive conversation on organizational evolution, and highlights the importance of creating space for member voices in shaping the future of our profession.
