Release Date: November 7, 2022


Description: Another analyst representing the great state of Florida, home to Disney World and Florida Man joins us this week: Annette Shapiro! Annette educates us on the intricacies and complications of working and trying to prosecute a fentanyl investigation; she also gives tips and tricks on how to be an effective expert witness. Annette also discusses the domino effect of a burglary case that led to frauds. This is a very informative episode that aspiring analysts (and seasoned ones!) definitely should listen to as Jason and Annette discuss the different certificates and certification that are out there.  Annette is currently an investigative analyst for the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. 


CHALLENGE: There are Easter eggs in one of the tables of the Excel chapter that Jason wrote for the IACA textbook. First-person to email us at [email protected] about what the Easter eggs are will receive a $20 gift card from us. Happy hunting!
