Episode: 00198 Released on February 12, 2024 Description: Get into the ACTION of crime analysis and learn about the MAGIC that happens behind the scenes. In this episode, Patrick Baldwin shares how he helped make Sin City a safer place through his efforts in task forces and counterterrorism initiatives. Jason and Patrick discuss the benefits and gripes about COMPSTAT and how automated dashboards simply cannot replace a living, critically-thinking analyst. Patrick brings his Chicago-born wit and humor into this episode, recounting his analytical adventures in a whimsical fashion. Patrick has since retired with his family in the Midwest but continues to spread the good word of crime analysis as a consultant with Evidence Based Crime Analytics, and hopes to one day better explain to his kiddos that daddy wasn't a cop, but something more.
