Episode: 00188 Released on December 4, 2023 Description: Doris credits her mother for steering her into the direction of law enforcement analysis. In this episode, Doris shares how she gained the trust of officers in different agencies, the cases solved due to effective communication, and how neighboring jurisdictions can vary with their policing culture (Palo Alto vs East Palo Alto). Doris also shares her appreciation for Steve Gottlieb’s Crime analysis: From first report to final arrest book, and how it helped her with her day-to-day work as an analyst. Doris has since transitioned into the private sector, and discusses the nuances of being a private provider in law enforcement. Doris is working on her doctorate degree focusing on employment opportunities for black men who were previously incarcerated, and she is currently the Analytics Director for SoundThinking (formerly ShotSpotter).
