In this episode we talk with Analyst Supervisor Jacqueline Danzig, whose team works hand in hand with deputies and detectives to get them the information they need to solve – and even prevent – crimes. When she started her career they were still tracking burglaries by putting pins in maps, but now she and other analysts are much more high tech as they gather facts, uncover details, and spot the trends that can predict the next crime wave. As Danzig says, there are no crystal balls, just data. They’re scientists who make their best predictions, and those percentages she analyzes give law enforcement an advantage. We talk about her work with Threat Management, which strives to get people off the pathway to violence to prevent future crimes. She also talks about the Habitual Offender Monitoring and Enforcement Task Force, which has made a huge difference in preventing the worst teen offenders from committing auto burglaries and thefts. You’ll find out about the future of analysts, and learn why it is almost impossible to get away with any crime these days.
