Episode: 00159 Released on May 15, 2023
Description: With over three decades of law enforcement analysis experience in the military, federal, and private sector, Brennan Long definitely came with a wealth of experience ready to share! Brennan started his intelligence analysis journey at the local level and worked his way up to the FBI where he eventually became a supervising analyst before starting his own private investigations firm. His badge story involves an international baby formula theft and fraud scheme and leads into a conversation about cryptocurrency, block-chain analysis, and the future of crime. Brennan also gives his take on being a supervisor and the importance of outreach, communication, networking, and training as it relates to both internal and external personnel. Brennan also touches on intelligence strategies implementations and how these efforts affected multi-jurisdictional investigations and professional relationships. Brennan is currently the founder and CEO of Security Intelligence Integration, LLC, a private investigations firm.
