Listen to an Analyst's Success Stories

My colleague in the US Secret Service, Investigative Analyst Ryan Heethius, assisted on a murder case and played a significant role in solving it. Listen to how that played out at this link. It's interesting!

He is featured in another analyst success story in a podcast at this link.

Ryan illustrates how a good analyst thinks in investigations and you can learn for his processes.

"IA Ryan Heethius is under the Investigative Support Division (ISD) for the Office of Investigations. Ryan has worked on many different cases to include, including counterfeit operations, money laundering, homicide, and cybercrime. The role of an Investigative Analysts are multi-faceted, consisting of broad-based criminological research, link analysis, intelligence data gathering, performing complex statistical analysis and trend forecasting for criminal and protective intelligence, develops curricula for and provides high-quality training for investigators, researchers, and support staff. IAs also travel frequently to support field offices and task forces, often assisting with search warrants and asset forfeiture.
