You know the crime stories. This is the part you don't normally see. Behind every headline case, documentary, and cold-case podcast is data—patterns, predictions, and decisions made long before the story breaks.

For more than two decades, this crime and intelligence analyst worked in a major metropolitan police department and later with local agencies in Idaho. His career focused on identifying emerging patterns, following unconventional data trails, and uncovering intelligence gaps that disrupted organized criminal activity and exposed systemic blind spots. In later years, his analytical work helped inform operational and strategic changes within smaller departments, shaping how intelligence was gathered, interpreted, and applied to lower crime and bring about a better connection between the police and the community.

This is the real story behind the story—how analytics shapes judgment, power, and trust when the stakes are real, and every choice carries consequences. If you love true crime, data, or leadership under pressure, this is a night you don’t want to miss. Data is power. Power demands accountability.
