Episode: 00152 Released on March 27, 2023
Description: In this compelling episode, Allison Davids shares a traumatic story, and honestly, you do this job long enough, and you’ll likely rack up quite a few of your own. Allison gives us an overview of the event, how she and her department handled it, and how she’s coping with it now. Allison’s badge story involves a gun investigation working
with multiple federal agents, and giving a presentation to then-Attorney General, William Barr. Allison is currently a criminal intelligence analyst for the Hamilton County (OH) Sheriff’s Office. 


As mentioned, you do this job long enough, and you’re bound to have a few traumatic “war stories,” to share. If you’re comfortable and willing, we’d love to hear yours. Your story, just like Allison’s, will let other analysts know that they aren’t alone, and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel after a traumatic event on the job. If interested, please send a voice clip of your story to [email protected]. If you would rather stay anonymous, you can send us a transcript to read verbatim on your behalf. Thank you for your support and engagement on such an important and impactful topic within the law enforcement analytical community!
