ATWJE - Richard Browning - Addressing Secondary Trauma

Episode: 00181 Released on October 16, 2023 Description: Description: Richard Browning has been in the law enforcement analysis field for over 20 years, specifically in the military sector. Richard shares how he decided on his specialization in analytics with the US Army, and his badge stories pertain to a helicopter crash, financial theft, and employee fraud that required in-depth analysis and investigations. This episode also delves into the realm of trauma and how the work affects the mental health of all those involved, including the analysts who may not have the same resources as sworn personnel to cope with the stress of the work. Richard is currently an investigative analyst for the Army CID in Redstone Arsenal, AL.
