Neil Hubbert - Guiding Decision Makers
Monday Dec 18, 2023
Monday Dec 18, 2023
Episode: 00190 Released on December 18, 2023 Description: Neil Hubbert always knew he wanted to have a career in law enforcement – it was like continuing the family business! Neil started out his career working various positions within Booz Allen Hamilton, a government contractor, notably as a diagnostic analyst and an intelligence analyst where he worked with a myriad of law enforcement agencies with their respective investigations. As part of his job, communication was key as he needed to help ensure different agencies didn’t impede on one another’s investigations (i.e., conduct proper deconflictions). After seven years with the agency, Neil continued his career as a trainer, helping multiple law enforcement agencies improve their analytical and investigative processes. Neil is currently a research associate for IDEA Analytics.

Episode: 00186 Released on November 20, 2023 Description: Michelle Belongie joins us this week with a throwback to how the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Analysts Network (WILEAN) started and how crime analysis has evolved over the past 25+ years. Michelle shares an ordinance that was implemented to hold landlords accountable for the crimes and disturbances that occur at their property in order to reduce those respective activities; the extra level of responsibility (or rather, fines) prompted landlords to be more vigilant, which in turn reduces the odds of criminality. Over her 25+ years career with the Green Bay Police Department, Michelle had the opportunity to help shape the agency, including selecting a suitable RMS, developing crime prevention programs, and training new employees. Michelle is currently a crime analyst for the Green Bay PD.
CHALLENGE: There are Easter eggs in one of the tables of the Excel chapter that Jason wrote for the IACA textbook. First-person to email us at leapodcasts@gmail.com about what the Easter eggs are will receive a $50 gift card from us. Happy hunting!
