Episode: 00177 Released on September 18, 2023 Description: US Border Patrol (BP) employ some agents that are both officers and analysts, though thankfully their roles are split depending on the situation.

Josh is also a fan of BLUF, Bottom Line Up Front, and discusses using BLUF when providing case support. Josh’s analyst experience also includes time as a criminal intelligence analyst with the New York Army National Guard Counter Drug Task Force. Josh is currently a Border Patrol Intelligence Agent and the Adirondack Chapter President for the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts, Inc. (IALEIA). He is also a Great Highland Bagpiper for the Bog Oak Bagpipes.
