In their own words

"One of the things I enjoy about the role is that you never quite know what challenge you’ll be faced with. I recently received a criminal case referral involving systems and data that were completely new to me. I spent time exploring the data and speaking regularly with the case team to understand the problem and what we could achieve. By applying my analytical training, creativity and a different perspective, I developed two products that helped progress the case. It also gave me ideas for improving how we approach this type of work in the future." - Stephen, Intelligence Analyst.
