Description: If you are an intelligence analyst, assigned to financial crimes or white collar crimes, or have an interest in crime and intelligence analysis (of course you do since you're here!), you have likely came across work by our guest this week, Marilyn Peterson. Marilyn has written multiple pieces on topics relating to intelligence (e.g., intelligence-led policing, best practices), white collar crimes, and financial analysis. In this episode, Marilyn shares how she went from a journalism career to intelligence analysis, and how she navigated working with different agencies in the earlier days of analysis through the Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network (MAGLOCLEN) -- a part of the Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS). Marilyn gives us an overview of financial, white collar, and organized crimes she's worked on and information on how these crimes are handled on an international stage. For Marilyn's badge story, she chose to focus on her time and involvement with the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts (IALEIA), including her time as president and the evolution of their newsletter. Marilyn Peterson is currently retired but is a Senior Instructor for the Joint Military Intelligence Training Center at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in Washington, DC.

Release Date: March 15, 2021
Description: What possibilities exist when we embrace opportunity, tune into our subconscious processing, while also allowing time for our mind to declutter? In this episode, Nadia Tuominen, a 15-year law enforcement analyst veteran, walks us through going from the public sector to the private sector to later starting her own business and embracing the psychology of intelligence analysis.  Nadia began her career with the Metropolitan Police (UK) and discusses her experience with the hiring process and her initial assignments in burglary and then robbery. Her two badge stories, involving a cocaine trafficking organized crime ring and a kidnapping investigation, demonstrate the critical role an analyst can play in developing patterns and distinguishing a hunch from educated subconscious reasoning. Nadia went on to work for the Tennis Integrity Unit before striking out on her own and establishing New Insight Analysis where she provides actionable intelligence and training on critical thinking.

Description: Advancement in technology has provided an abundance of tools and programs to law enforcement to modernize their approach towards Investigations and public safety; however, it takes an open and creative mind to envision the possibilities these tools and programs can do to help the agency with their mission -- it's not as easy as just pressing a button! In this episode, Chris Delaney shares how he cultivated a meaningful and productive workplace for civilian and sworn personnel to work harmoniously, set up a regional crime analysis center, conducted effective CompStat meetings and presentations, developed comprehensive databases, and his transition from a crime analyst to the private vendor, Esri. Chris gives insight on how he navigated through the tension between different entities and limitations of available technology, to reach solutions that benefited everyone involved. Chris also gives us a brief overview of the capabilities of the current Esri products and practices and what can be expected in the future. The episode wraps up with Chris's culinary specialty and encouraging words to the next generation of analysts and law enforcement professionals. Chris is currently the Product Owner for Law Enforcement Solutions at Esri.

Episode 00041
Release Date: February 8, 2021
Description: What is it like being a sworn police officer and a crime analyst? And how do you balance both roles seamlessly in addition to being a board member on multiple professional associations? In this episode, we interview Sergeant Eric Drifmeyer as he explains how he went from a patrol officer to a crime analyst to a sergeant with the Barnstable Police Department. Eric goes into detail about the training he did and the resources he gathered to prepare himself for the new role of a crime analyst after being a patrol officer for 15 years. The Massachusetts Association of Crime Analysts (MACA) and IACA being two of his biggest resources, leading him to become a board member for both as he progressed through his years as a crime analyst. Eric gives us an insight into the behind-the-scenes inner workings of professional association board members and how those experiences, while volunteer-based, help shape who he is now as a leader in his department and the profession. Eric Drifmeyer is currently the sergeant for the community impact unit with the Barnstable Police Department.
