Description: In this episode, Dr. Annie Thompson, an analyst with over three decades of experience now-turned professor at two universities, shares how she fell into the field of law enforcement analysis and how she continues to give back to the profession through education and mentoring. Dr. Thompson and Jason discuss the gap between academia and the professional world -- what should be taught in school and what should be learned on-the-job? Dr. Thompson goes into detail about the finding and retaining quality analysts, the benefits of internships, and what her plans are if she was an “internship czar” for a professional association (what her policies would be, guide to success for students, etc.). Dr. Thompson also gives the listener some insight on another project she is working -- “what’s next after you get a job as an analyst?” Tune in to hear what she has to say. Dr. Annie Thompson is currently an adjunct professor at Tiffin University and an assistant professor at Florida A&M University.
