Episode 5: Dr. Camie Condon, from the Crime and Intelligence Analysis Degree program

About Today's Show

Professor Camie Condon is the program co-ordinator, as well as professor, in the Crime and Intelligence Analysis Degree Program. In this episode we discuss...

1. How analysts use social media to identify potential terrorist threats.

2. How the Seneca College Crime and Intelligence Analysis program prepares students for careers both in law enforcement, as well as the private sector.

3. How international terrorists were identified and ultimately captured with the help of Camie's company, iBrabo.

About Today's Guest, Professor Camie Condon

Dr. Camie Condon is the academic coordinator as well as professor for the newly launched Crime and Intelligence Analysis Degree program taught out of Seneca College's King Campus. (teacher as well?).

A former crime analyst with the Halton Regional Police Service, Professor Condon received her B.A in Criminal Justice from Michigan State University and her M.Sc. and Ph.D from the University of Liverpool, (UK) . As a part of Camie's Ph.D research she examined police tactical decision making during armed confrontations.

Camie is also a long time member/researcher of iBrabo, a Canadian based open source intelligence research group. Camie's role with iBrabo includes assisting in collaborative research in the areas of conflict monitoring, extremist use of social media intelligence (SOCMINT), and identifying persons at risk for recruitment to violent extremism. So in other words, when Dr. Condon isn't in the classroom teaching about Intelligence Analysis, she's out there catching real-life bad-guys. And the skills she applies to catch those bad guys are the same skills they cover in this program.

She's joined us here in the Sandbox studio at Newnham
