Description: Our first episode of 2022! Our first guest this year, Barry Fosberg, kicks us off with a reminder that there is more to a story beyond the surface-level data provided; analysts should be able to see people beyond simply "suspect" or "victim." Barry's badge story about a gang member's murder exemplifies this message. During his time at the police department, Barry developed an algorithm that helps rank repeat offenders and targets -- a major hit with the patrol division which was highly goal-oriented and needed a person and/or place to focus their attention towards. Barry is an avid book reviewer and details how he finds and rates books. Barry is currently a senior criminal intelligence analyst for the Houston Police Department.
