Description: Former crime analyst supervisor and current marketing extraordinaire, Mary Craige, joins us this week with stories on how she discovered the law enforcement analysis field, how she turned her love of writing into an effective marketing tool, and how she continues to serve the law enforcement field through work with LexisNexis and Cobwebs Technologies. Mary shares her personal story for making the switch from the public to private sector as well as how her analytical skill sets helped her be successful in those roles. Mary helped establish the IACA’s training program, and gives her kudos to the current IACA Training Committee for their hard work and dedication for the program as we know it today. Mary is currently the Marketing Director for Cobwebs Technologies.
