Episode: 00291 Released on November 3, 2025 Description: In the fifth episode of the "Did You Know?" series, Mike Winslow explores the world of hidden data, the overlooked information already sitting in law enforcement systems. From CAD records and field interview cards to modern body-worn camera footage, Mike shares real examples of how uncovering these underused data sources can make or break an investigation. They discuss the importance of collaborating with dispatch, understanding data dictionaries, and asking the right questions to access valuable fields that don’t always make it into analyst databases. Plus, Mike reveals a recent homicide case where tracing a “hidden” phone number led to key suspects and new evidence. This episode highlights how looking beyond reports can reveal investigative gold that many analysts overlook. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking! [Note: Description produced by ChatGPT.]
