ATWJE - Anthony Bush - Jail Calls Rock

Episode: 00202 Released on March 11, 2024 Description: In this episode, Anthony Bush shares how he went from civilian analytics to the US Air Force and then back to civilian analytics in another part of the country. Anthony specializes in imagery and social network analysis and shares how he used jail calls and a gang database to help piece together a case (badge story). This is a case he initiated, and it is so good that the FBI stole it. Anthony's myriad of experiences make him a well-rounded analyst. Anthony is currently a criminal intelligence analyst for the Harris County (TX) Sheriff’s Office (and why he is still at the Sheriff’s Office may surprise you).
