Description: What do you and your spouse talk about at the dinner table when you’re both law enforcement analysts? In this episode, Seth Potts shares how he learned about and eventually joined the field of law enforcement analysis through his wife, Sabrina Potts. Seth gives insight on how he improved the workflow process and created “easy buttons,” to help streamline requests. While Seth humbly claims to not be an expert, he often presents and teaches at the IACA Conference on tips and tricks he has learned (especially in Excel) to help others. Seth’s badge story starts with a disturbance call that led to something more. Seth is currently the crime analyst for the Merriam (KS) Police Department and the new host of LEAPodcast’s YouTube series Small Steps, a show focusing on quick tips and tricks for law enforcement analysts.
