Description: GIS expert, Lorie Velarde, joins us this week with two badge stories: a residential burglary series and identifying a murderer.

We have a new segment called The Analysts of Tomorrow where we highlight up-and-coming analysts with exceptional potential in the field of law enforcement analysis.
