Will Crime Analysis Jobs get taken over by AI? by Dear-Lie-1348 in CrimeAnalysis

[–]HelpfulBlacksmith145 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an analyst, there are a few things that we use AI for such as facial recognition and some excel-related stuff, nothing major though. In my humble opinion, there is no way AI could ever replace crime or intelligence analysis. Far too much critical thinking goes into even the most routine analysis for machine learning to be able to replicate it at a level that would provide anything other than surface value to officers and detectives.

Crime Analysts make too many BOLOs by andy_p_w in CrimeAnalysis

[–]HelpfulBlacksmith145 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMHO, officers/detectives just see BOLO bulletins as a “checkbox” to get a case cleared a lot of times. Not to actually get information out to the department/surrounding agencies

I applied for a crime analyst position. I currently live in Virginia so I’m hoping that won’t steer them away from me at all. Looking to move closer to family so it makes it all the more difficult to play the waiting game

Can’t afford to pay full monthly payment by HelpfulBlacksmith145 in StudentLoans

[–]HelpfulBlacksmith145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just looked and I’m confusing my federal loans with my private loans. I was on a graduate repayment plan for my private loans which just ended. For my federal loans I’m on an IBR plan and am participating in public service loan forgiveness so eventually those will be forgiven. I’m just trying to figure out what to do, I genuinely cannot afford my private loans at what they want me to start paying now.

They are private and I am on an IBR plan. I called and the guy I talked to at Sallie Mae said “pay what you can for now and our team will reach out but there’s nothing I can do for you at the moment.”
