Reducing Crime Podcast

I highly recommend this resource.

"With over 200,000 downloads and plays, this monthly podcast features conversations with influential thinkers in the police service and leading crime and policing researchers working to advance public safety. Often amusing, often enlightening, always informative. Host Professor Jerry Ratcliffe chats to a range of international guests covering policing, crime prevention, practical criminology, and public safety policy.

 The podcast is available directly from SoundCloud or Apple podcasts, where you can also subscribe to get access to new podcasts when they become available. You can also find the podcast in most dedicated podcast outlets, such as Stitcher, Spotify, and Google podcasts. Follow @_reducingcrime on twitter for updates on the latest episodes and news.

Also, if you are an instructor or lecturer then send a DM on twitter to @Jerry_Ratcliffe with your work/university email address for a free spreadsheet with multiple choice questions for every podcast episode. Each episode also has transcripts (see below)."

Exploring Association Membership Benefits

Perhaps you are like me and you simply renew your association memberships when they come due and don't look that closely at what changes might be on the websites. If so, you may be missing opportunities to grow professionally.

If you are a member of the International Association of Law Enforcement Analysts (IALEIA):

"IALEIA partners with the Justice Clearinghouse (JCH) to create and offer intelligence-specific webinars and training. IALEIA members have unlimited access to the entire library of JCH webinars including recordings, workbooks, and presentation materials. Webinar and course participants can download certificates of attendance as proof of attendance. Please contact training@IALEIA.org if you would like access or if you would like to present on a topic."

If you are a member of the International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA):

Did you know there are fifteen 12-week online training classes you could take? See more at: https://www.iaca.net/online-classes

I recommend membership in both of these organizations.
