Description: Growth and longevity in a profession are not always easy to come by, especially with the same agency you first started out your career with, but this week’s guest shares how she managed to remain happy and thriving with the same agency for 20+ (and counting) years. In this episode, Trina Cook walks us through how she first discovered the law enforcement analysis field, how she prepared for it, how she managed to not stay stagnant even with over two decades of experience, and the additional projects and roles she has taken on to not get stuck in a rut. Trina’s badge story involves her proactive approach in preparing pertinent information to investigators on a family that was already well-known to the police; her initiative and ability to effectively communicate with officers helped expedite the investigation. Trina gives her perspective on the IACA Certified Law Enforcement Analyst (CLEA) exam as well as her experience serving as the Chair for the Certification Committee. Trina is currently and has been the Police Information Analyst for the City of Tukwila (WA) for almost 22 years as of this interview. Trina was a founding member of the Northwest Regional Crime Analyst Network (NORCAN),
