Shawn Fisher - The Geographer

Episode 00015

Release Date: August 10, 2020

Description: Do crime analysts only have Criminal Justice degrees? In this episode, Shawn Fisher, a crime analyst for 17+ years, shares how she got her job in law enforcement with a Geography degree and how it has benefitted her over her career. Shawn brings a unique perspective to the table and shares how her particular skills were beneficial to the police department even though it wasn't typical (e.g. criminal justice degree/background). Shawn was a recipient of the Corona Solution's Award for Innovation and one of the early recipients of IACA's CLEA. This episode is reassuring for those who are nervous about transitioning to law enforcement analysis from a different field. Shawn Fisher is currently a Crime Analyst with the Omaha Police Department.
