Release Date: September 13, 2021
Description: Another in-person recorded show brought to you from the IACA Conference in Las Vegas, NV! In this episode, we interview Michael Jackson -- yes, the real Michael Jackson -- on how he transitioned from a police officer to a crime analyst, his involvement with the IACA Analyst Mentoring Program (AMP), and of course how he got his name. Michael emphasizes the importance of due diligence in analytics and research, and how it can really prevent a really bad situation from happening (e.g., officer shooting) in his badge story. Michael is currently a Criminal Intelligence Analyst for the City of Sugar Land (TX) and serves as a member of the IACA AMP Committee.

Release Date: September 6, 2021
Description: In this week’s episode, Brian Novotny shares with us his passion for law enforcement by sharing stories from his diverse background. He began his career in fraud investigations, and then went on to work in gang investigations and as a paralegal before becoming a crime analysis supervisor. He talks about ethical questions and dilemmas that he has faced during his career, and how he was able to overcome them. Brian’s goals are to bridge the gap between sworn and non-sworn employees and between small agencies and large agencies. The question he is currently working on: How can larger agencies provide support to agencies with fewer resources? Brian Novotny is currently Crime Analysis and Research Unit Supervisor at the Maricopa County District Attorney’s office in Phoenix, AZ. He is also the director of the South West Chapter of IALEIA.
