ATWJE - Tommy Smith - The Prescriptive Analyst

Episode: 00063

Release Date: July 12, 2021

Description: Our first in-person recorded show brought to you from the FCIAA 2021 Conference! In this episode, Jason Elder meets Tommy Smith face-to-face at the FCIAA’s annual conference for a live recording featuring stories about how Tommy started in the analytical field, his growth into a supervisor role, his work with sovereign citizens, and his acting and modeling career. Tommy’s badge story involves a series of scooter (moped) thefts that he helped discover and address; Tommy also goes into details about the concept of “prescriptive analysis,” and how that has improved on traditional approaches of problem-oriented policing and intelligence-led policing. Tommy is a subject matter expert on sovereign citizens and gives listeners the basic rundown of what constitutes a sovereign citizen and how to address them. Tommy is currently the Supervisory/Lead Crime Analyst for the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.
