Noah Fritz - The Godfather

Episode 00030

Release Date: November 23, 2020

Description: This week we talk to one of the pioneers of law enforcement analysis and 3x IACA President, Noah Fritz! In this jammed packed episode, Noah shares how he got his first job, the history of IACA, and the many analysts he mentored and worked alongside over the years -- we call this his 'Analyst Tree'." From a serial rapist investigation to one of the most controversial topics today, Noah provides a raw perspective on how the analytical role has changed and will continue to change moving forward. Noah is currently retired but remains active in IACA and the law enforcement analysis field.
