Professor of Criminal Justice and Security Cathryn Lavery (PhD’s) podcast, Crimes, Coffee, and Consequences, recently featured an episode entitled “Intelligence-Led Policing,” in which she delved into the world of intelligence-led policing (ILP) with two distinguished experts in the field: David T. Mulcahy and James McMorrow.

This episode explored how intelligence-led approaches shape modern criminal justice strategies, from predictive analytics to proactive crime prevention. Mulcahy, an adjunct professor of criminal justice at Pace and supervisory officer at United States Probation for the Southern District of New York, shared his insights on how data-driven strategies enhance law enforcement effectiveness. McMorrow, founder of McMorrow Investigations and Consulting, brought his extensive investigative experience to the conversation, discussing how ILP is applied in real-world policing and private-sector investigations.

It is one of many engaging episodes on Lavery’s podcast, available on Spotify and other major streaming platforms, through which she blends in-depth analysis and compelling storytelling alongside expert guests—from law enforcement professionals and legal scholars to policymakers and activists. Whether discussing notorious criminal cases, emerging trends in law enforcement, or the consequences of crime on society, in Crimes, Coffee, and Consequences, Lavery dives into the complexities of the criminal justice system, exploring high-profile cases, criminal behavior, and policy implications.
