Description: This week’s guest went from data entry to crime analyst to product evangelist to running her own consulting company. Jamie Rouch tells us all about her law enforcement journey while also putting up with Jason’s dad jokes. Jamie’s badge story on the abduction of a 3 week old baby, taking place while she worked for the Jacksonville (FL) Sheriff's Office, tells the importance of utilizing analysts in major case callouts and the perspective analysts bring to complicated cases. Jamie also goes over the current challenges she is tackling to help the Jamaica Constabulary Force and the Department of Correctional Services transition away from paper and implement an RMS and a case management system. Jamie is a big advocate of evidence based policing (EBP) and breaks down how agencies can go about incorporating EBP so police can work towards more effective, efficient, and transparent policing. Jamie is currently the co-founder of CRH Consulting.

Description: Who knew a transit department can have its own police force and a crime analyst? In this week’s episode, Allison Sullivan shares with us how she helped implement proactive policing efforts that reduced crimes in her jurisdiction by 78% over the course of five years and how she was recognized at the young age of 24 for her amazing achievements in analytics. In addition, Allison goes over her COMPSTAT dos and don’ts. Allison also explains her transition into the private (vendor) sector and how she maintains her strong relationship with the analyst community while in this new role. Allison has been the Chair of both the IACA Conference Committee and Elections Committee, helping the association provide quality training and lifelong memories (prepare for some conference nostalgia). Allison is currently a web intelligence analyst for Cobwebs Technologies.

Release Date: August 9, 2021
Description: Our guest this week has over 30 years of law enforcement experience, 26 years of which were spent in an analysis capacity in one way or another -- from a criminal investigative analyst to a geographic profiling analyst to a technology coordinator. Manny San Pedro has been recognized for his immense contribution to both the IACA and IALEIA, serving as the current Technology Director and Vice President of the South Western Ontario Chapter respectively. In this episode, Manny explains how he transitioned from an officer to an analyst, and navigating the cultural changes and workplace dynamics that came with it. Manny also details how he used his geographic profiling knowledge, along with astute observation skills and effective communication, to work closely alongside investigators to solve a case of a child predator. This episode also features insights on the current state of the IACA website and future plans for improvement to ensure the association keeps with one of its critical missions of providing a platform for analysts across the world to share information and resources. Manny is currently the program manager for the Toronto Housing Program, but maintains his involvement in the law enforcement analysis community through continual volunteer work with IACA and IALEIA, as well as being the executive director of MDSP Consulting Services, a training provider in various law enforcement analysis topics.
