Description: Lindsay (not Lindcee) Witter comes to us this week with two badge stories: first, an investigation into a marijuana grow with a multi-jurisdictional drug task force; and second, an ongoing investigation involving locating a pedophile. Lindsay has been recognized (and awarded) multiple times for her contributions on multiple investigations throughout her career. Lindsay gives insight into how she discovered and remained in the law enforcement analysis profession despite not acquiring a college degree in the field. Lindsay is currently a criminal intelligence analyst for the State of Tennessee and VP of Membership for the Tennessee Association of Law Enforcement Analysts (TALEA). 


This episode contains the fan-favorite segment, Don’t Be That Analyst. Do you agree with Jason and Lindsay’s assessment of these DBTA comments? 



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!
