Episode: 00164 Released on June 19, 2023
Description: While law enforcement and the courts do work closely, their daily functions and routines do differ quite a bit. Here to bridge that gap is our guest, Kristen Burton, who's worked both as an analyst and a legal assistant. Kristen shares how she transitioned between the roles, their similarities and differences, and how both play a role in the criminal justice system. Kristen’s badge story involves her use of geofencing to narrow down the search of her suspect during an investigation. Kristen elaborates on the nuances of the court system and how those compare and contrast with the law enforcement system. Kristen is currently a legal assistant / paralegal with the City of Branson Municipal Government. 


CHALLENGE: There are Easter eggs in one of the tables of the Excel 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 $50 gift card from us. Happy hunting!
