Description: If criminal justice had a baby with computer science, Todd Wiles would be that lovechild. From starting out as a graduate assistant at Kent State University’s Institute for the Study and Prevention of Violence, to working his way to crime analyst roles at both the Jacksonville FL Sheriff’s Office and the Cleveland OH Police Department, Todd has worked towards a happy symbiosis between data and law enforcement. Todd breaks down the different change of pace between working in an academic environment to the demands of a major police department. At Jacksonville, Todd learned the importance of data organization and data processing, of having your data timely, clean, and ready to analyze. Todd later moved to Cleveland where he became the agency’s first civilian crime analyst and shares his badge story of using tower dump data to help identify a rape suspect. Throughout his career, Todd shows how analysts can make data work for them. Todd is currently a Crime Analyst III at the Cleveland Department of Police.
