Description: How many police chiefs have you’ve gone through? Two? Three? How about four (and counting). In this week’s episode, Officer Joe Lorenz, a sworn analyst, shares his experience working for multiple police chiefs and how it affected the analytical culture, dynamic, and of course, the products and workload (e.g., CompStat). At one point, Joe’s CompStat presentation reached 40+ slides! Joe’s badge story involves a burglary series. Joe gives his insights on sworn officers in analytical roles versus analysts trying to understand the sworn roles. Joe is currently a crime analyst for the Cincinnati Police Department District Three.

Release Date: March 7, 2022
Description: Law enforcement analysts can be found all around the world, but sometimes they may just be 400 feet away. This week our guest, Kelly Kimsey, not only has almost three decades of analytical experience with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and is the President of IALEIA's Northern Florida Chapter, but also lives 400 feet away from our very own host. Kelly's analyst badge story involves an investigation into Florida's Department of Corrections for corruption that helped remove over a dozen employees and reshaped the department for the better. Kelly gives insights on how she remained with the same department for almost three decades as well as her involvement with IALEIA. Kelly is currently the Senior Crime Intelligence Analyst Supervisor for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Dr Susanne Knabe-nicol has a BSc in Psychology from the University of East London, an MSC in Interactive Multimedia from the University of Westminster and an MSc and PhD in Investigative Psychology from the University of Liverpool. 
 
Susanne has worked in UK policing for over a decade in the roles of regional intelligence analyst major crome researcher, custody investigator, improvement and evaluations officer, improvement and evaluations coordinator, and change and improvement officer. Before then, Susanne was a uniformed police community support officer in London and now currently works as a lecturer in Criminology, Policing and Investigations at Middlesex University in London. 
 
The reason why Susanne wanted to make relevant research reach the right people in policing is because there is an awful lot of great research being done and published, but then only read by other academics. This just doesn’t make sense to me, and so I started turning research into videos, as every officer can make time to watch a short video, but they might not be able to access and digest a research paper. Susanne set up Police Science Dr to create a broad range of research-based videos and the plan is for a global communication platform for researchers and practitioners as well as a collection of police-relevant courses, all in one place. Susanne happens to have the desire to make research accessible and able to create online courses and interactive videos to help the policing community. 
 
Susanne has also published two book chapters: one on geographic profiling and one on behavioural investigative advice, which are both in Professor Laurence Alison’s book ‘Professionalising Offender Profiling’.
