Description: Law enforcement is an ever-growing and evolving profession with numerous research and schools of thought to help improve the patrol, investigative, preventative, and of course, the analytical processes. In this week’s episode, crime/patrol analyst and pracademic, John Ng, demystifies misconceptions around evidence-based policing as well as an academic’s role in a real-world/practical setting.
