Episode 00031

Release Date: November 30, 2020

Description: This week we interviewed a founding father of both the Colorado Crime Analysis Association (CCAA) and the International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA), Dale Harris. In this episode, Dale shares his experience of being a crime analyst with the Arvada Police Department for 20 years, how he organized the first intel sharing and training group, and how that led to the creation of the IACA as we know today. We also get an inside look at how the IACA Innovation Award was first created. This episode is not only rich in history but also filled with tips and stories on how to improve efficiency at a department. Dale Harris was the CEO of Corona Solutions, a data-driven solutions for optimized patrol operations company, before retiring.
