Matt Smith - The Gregarious Analyst

Episode 00012

Release Date: July 20, 2020

Description: Does your department call CompStat meetings something else to lighten the mood? How much of your day-to-day is spent on analysis versus administrative busywork? In this episode, Matt Smith shares his thoughts on effective CompStat meetings and how you can make your day feel productive instead of seemingly mindless busywork. Matt reminisces about a case he worked on involving thefts of police cruisers (among others) and how he views the relationship between crime and intelligence analysis. Matt emphasizes the importance of networking and learning from all your connections along your journey. Matt is currently a Government Contractor Consultant with the Department of Homeland Security. In addition to an extensive analytical career, Matt has dabbled in film work and met a handful of celebrities. You think someone as gregarious as Matt would have no problem sparking a conversation with anyone, but he has had his fair share of awkward celebrity encounters, notably with New York Yankees Legend Mariano Rivera.
