ATWJE - Nicole McKendree - Three Things

Episode: 00170 Released on July 31, 2023 Description: This episode was generated by AI! Just kidding, but that was how the CEO of Consultalytics, LLC came up with her business’s name. Nicole McKendree joins us this week with stories about her time as a patrol officer then how she transitioned into an analyst. She discusses how she navigated through uncooperative record management systems (weird, right?) and how she uses her experience as an officer to know what would be helpful to include in a bulletin. She is an instructor for Police Technical. Nicole recently left her senior intelligence analyst position at the Arkansas State Police to run her consulting company, Consultalytics, LLC. 

CHALLENGE: There are Easter eggs in one of the tables of the Excel chapter that Jason wrote for the IACA textbook. First-person to email us at leapodcasts@gmail.com about what the Easter eggs are will receive a $50 gift card from us. Happy hunting!
