ATWJE - Peter Africano - A Novel Idea

Episode: 00169 Released on July 24, 2023 Description: If we were to write a novel, a character will definitely be based on Peter – what an interesting fellow! In this episode, Peter shares his journey of becoming an analyst, and then to an analyst supervisor. Peter has badge stories revolved around what he thinks is the analyst's impact during an investigation at a real-time crime center (RTCC); having a civilian role during a law enforcement investigation really hits different! Peter discusses how he adapted to his new role as supervisor via promotion, and going from a coworker one day to "the boss." Peter is currently a crime analyst supervisor for the Capital Region Crime Analysis Center in Albany, NY.
