ATWJE - Randy Stickley - The Self-Promoter

Episode: 00130

Release Date: October 24, 2022

Description: Law enforcement analysts shouldn’t be treated as mushrooms in the dark, but our guest this week is a real fun-gi! Expert intelligence analyst Randall (Randy) Stickley joins us this week with a jam-packed episode about open source intelligence (OSINT) and two badge stories: his work using intelligence analysis in Libya and an investigation involving human and drug trafficking. Randy discusses his decision on becoming a political science major in college, and how he translated that knowledge over into intelligence work. Randy is currently an intelligence specialist with NW3C. Inc. and an active fusion liaison officer (FLO) for the West Virginia Fusion Center as well as member of National Fusion Center Association Training and Tradecraft subcommittees. 

A fun trivia about John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads is dropped in this episode. Are you surprised?

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 $20 gift card from us. Happy hunting!
