Episode: 00111

Release Date: June 13, 2022

Description: A jam-packed episode filled with so much that you wouldn't believe we didn't hit the hour mark! Our guest, Christine Casajuana-Smith, an analyst with numerous titles over her 26 years career with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), shares her experience working on cases involving voter fraud, strong-armed robberies, special events (like the Superbowl), and murder. Christine gives us insights on the analytical structure of the FDLE, her views on associations and the profession as a whole, as well as guidance for new analysts. There's a little bit of something for everyone in this episode! Christine is currently a Senior Crime Intelligence Analyst II for the FDLE.

We have a new segment called The Analysts of Tomorrow where we highlight up-and-coming analysts with exceptional potential in the field of law enforcement analysis. Got someone you'd like us to highlight? Let us know in the comments, or if you’d like to be featured in a future episode, please send us a recording (no more than 30 seconds) of who you think is an "Analyst of Tomorrow" and why to [email protected]. 

CHALLENGE: There are Easter eggs in one of the tables of the 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!
