Description: Law enforcement analysts can be found all around the world, but sometimes they may just be 400 feet away. This week our guest, Kelly Kimsey, not only has almost three decades of analytical experience with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and is the President of IALEIA's Northern Florida Chapter, but also lives 400 feet away from our very own host. Kelly's analyst badge story involves an investigation into Florida's Department of Corrections for corruption that helped remove over a dozen employees and reshaped the department for the better. Kelly gives insights on how she remained with the same department for almost three decades as well as her involvement with IALEIA. Kelly is currently the Senior Crime Intelligence Analyst Supervisor for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
