ATWJE - Rich Kilburn - The Serial Researcher

Episode: 00133

Release Date: November 14, 2022

Description: The military sure does prepare you for civilian law enforcement work, but how did that look like in the 90s when technology wasn’t so advanced as it is today? Rich Kilburn gives us insights on how the military and law enforcement analysis was when he first started, and how it evolved over his three decades of experience in each. Rich presents us with a couple of analyst badge stories this week, one involving a patrol workload assessment that improved workflow and promoted efficiency, and the other about the (caught and convicted) Fast Food Serial Killer, Paul Dennis Reid. Rich walks us through how emerging technology helped investigate and solve the case, in addition to great police work of course! Rich is currently the research manager for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, a position he held for almost 30 years! Rich also has 30 years as an Army Corps engineer officer, and retired as a colonel. 

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!
