ATWJE - Cynthia Peterman - Living the Analyst Dream

Episode: 00204 Released on March 25, 2024 Description: In this episode, Cynthia Peterman shares how she helped expand the intelligence analysis landscape in Ohio so the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI) personnel didn’t have to travel for hours to assist in investigations for a few hours then drive back – now they have satellite sites that communicate and assist one another with cases. Cynthia transitioned from BCI to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to their narcotics division where she spent most of her career in narcotics investigations and training multiple intelligence analysts as their supervisor. Cynthia recalls a narcotics investigation where everything was laid out – an analyst’s dream! However, Cynthia also tells stories where the events of the case are now used in analyst training. For jobseekers, be sure to listen to her advice on hiring. Cynthia is currently the director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Narcotics Intelligence Center.
