Just a quick update on a few things. I was interviewed on Jeff Asher’s Jeffalytics Podcast, mostly about AI and the current landscape in criminal justice:

Using Technology to Improve Crime Analysis with Andy Wheeler by Jeff Asher

I don’t always link to my recent Crime De-Coder posts (follow the Crime De-Coder RSS feed or follow me on Crime De-Coder LinkedIn to stay up to date). But for a few recent technical ones:

• Filtering Secrets from Coding Agents with a Hook (written by Marc Olson, employee #1 at Crime De-Coder)
• Using Agentic Coding Tools for Crime Analysis
• Using local LLM models vs APIs

AI is not going away, as so folks looking to learn about the tech, you should buy my book, Large Language Models for Mortals: A Practical Guide for Analysts with Python.

If you are an analyst and have questions always feel free to send me an email. Happy to expand those blog posts to material that is helpful.

Have been working on a new project very heavily in the past month+, so will be able to share that soon with the wider audience. (If you want to get some sneak peaks, follow me on X to see what I am working on.)
