Description: Another week, another one of Charlie Gilberti’s Analyst of Tomorrow – Engineer turned crime analyst Kyle McFatridge joins us this week with tips on effective social network analysis (SNA) through his badge story, improving upon link charts, starting persons-of-interests projects, and adapting to new agencies. Kyle gives a list of softwares and programs that can help enhance the SNA process, allowing analysts more time towards other analytical functions. Kyle is currently a crime analyst with the Fishers (IN) Police Department. 


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!
