Episode: 00293 Released on November 17, 2025 Description: In the fifth installment of Research Remix, Jason Elder and Jamie Roush unpack a 2014 study by Joel Kaplan, Philip Marotta, Eric Piza, and Leslie Kennedy examining whether the physical landscape contributes to felonious assaults and batteries against police officers. Using Chicago Police Department data, the researchers identified how risky facilities such as foreclosures, problem buildings, bars, schools, liquor stores, gang territories, and apartment complexes combine with environmental features like alleyways, poor lighting, and crowd density to elevate officer danger. Jamie explains why these spatial elements matter, how analysts can integrate non-traditional spatial data into proactive officer-safety work, and how dispatchers and CAD systems can benefit from enhanced risk-flagging. The conversation also highlights opportunities for analysts to expand their GIS layers, develop yearly governance on spatial data sources, and build prioritization models that identify the highest-risk locations and times of day. This episode is a practical roadmap for analysts aiming to support officer safety through environmental awareness, spatial modeling, and data-driven risk mitigation. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking!  [Note:  Description produced by ChatGPT.]Get to know more about Jamie, Joel, and Eric by listening to their previous episodes: https://www.leapodcasts.com/e/atwje-jamie-roush-the-aha-moment-analyst/ Dr. Joel Caplan:  https://www.leapodcasts.com/e/acia-risk-terrain-modelling-dr-joel-caplan-teaches-us-everything-we-need-to-know/ Dr. Eric Piza:  https://www.leapodcasts.com/e/atwje-eric-piza-the-researcher-at-heart-analyst/ Name Drops:Related Links: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1193&context=jj_pubs https://www.cpted.net/ https://popcenter.asu.edu/content/understanding-risky-facilities https://www.simplypsychology.org/routine-activities-theory.html Association(s) Mentioned: Vendor(s) Mentioned: Contact:  jamielroush@gmail.com,  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-roush-5b399967/ epjets@stockton.edu Transcript: https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/x292indjf8a3t6mm/RR04_transcript.pdf  Podcast Writer: Podcast Researcher: Theme Song: Written and Recorded by The Rough & Tumble.

Episode: 00290 Released on October 27, 2025 Description: In this episode of the Research Remix deep dive, Jason Elder and Jamie Roush tackle one of the biggest issues facing law enforcement agencies today: the police staffing crisis. Drawing from recent research by Wilson and Gramme (2024), Jamie reframes the conversation from simply hiring more officers to rethinking workload-based approaches and smarter deployment. Jamie discusses how analysts can play a crucial role in addressing staffing challenges through data-driven workload analysis, understanding calls for service, and calculating net annual work hours to ensure resources meet community demand. From integrating CAD and GIS data to considering new technologies like AI reporting tools and chatbots, this episode explores actionable strategies to make policing more efficient, equitable, and sustainable.
Whether you're an analyst, commander, or researcher, this conversation provides a roadmap to move beyond “do more with less” toward a smarter, systems-based understanding of workforce planning. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking!  [Note:  Description produced by ChatGPT.]Get to know more about Jamie by listening to his episode on Analyst Talk With Jason Elder: https://www.leapodcasts.com/e/atwje-jamie-roush-the-aha-moment-analyst/ Name Drops:Related Links: https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/9e6umkcnfep4u9a3/Wilson_Grammich_2024_Police_Staffing7ro1t.pdf https://www.policeforum.org/workforcecrisis https://nij.ojp.gov/library/publications Association(s) Mentioned: Vendor(s) Mentioned: Contact:  jamielroush@gmail.com,  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-roush-5b399967/ epjets@stockton.edu Transcript: https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/x292indjf8a3t6mm/RR04_transcript.pdf  Podcast Writer: Podcast Researcher: Theme Song: Written and Recorded by The Rough & Tumble.
