Episode: 00234 Released on September 30, 2024 Description: In this episode, Randy Stickley talks about the challenges and importance of utilizing open source intelligence (OSINT) in law enforcement analysis. Randy discusses the overwhelming amount of data available, projected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, and the critical need for solid analytic tradecraft to sift through this information effectively. Randy emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and structured methodologies, such as structured brainstorming and red teaming, to mitigate biases and accurately interpret data. Randy also explores the nuances of misinformation and disinformation, highlighting the difficulty in changing entrenched beliefs and the importance of understanding the context and behavior of subjects. The key takeaway is while tools are valuable, they should never replace foundational analytic tradecraft. [Note: Description produced by AI.]

Episode: 231 Released on September 16, 2024 Description: NIRO Knowledge and NIRO Crime Analysis creator, Nicholas (Nick) Roy, joins us this week to discuss his unique journey into the analytical and teaching world. From playing around with computers in the 80s, Nick had always had a knack for technology and quick learning. He started his law enforcement career as a police dispatcher where he stayed for 12+ years, and during that same time, worked as a records manager for 10+ years at a neighboring police department. As Nick worked for a smaller agency, he had the opportunity to double-up as their crime analyst, leveraging programs such as Microsoft Access, Excel, and PowerBI to his agency’s advantage. Nick credits his success in the law enforcement analysis profession to those within Massachusetts Association of Crime Analysts (MACA) and the further connections he made through the International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA). Nick is currently an IT consultant for Umbral Technologies, and continues to give back to the community through a myriad of training he offers through NIRO Crime Analysis and other establishments.
