In this episode we speak with Steven Bishopp, a Major in the Dallas Police Department. Steve has been with the DPD for over 30 years. Currently, he leads the R&D division, which handles police crime numbers from the reports officers do in the field. He also leads the department's UCR/NIBRS team, which validates offense and arrest data under NIBRS rules and submits monthly data to Texas DPS/FBI NIBRS. Steve earned a Ph.D. from UT Dallas, and has been published many times on a variety of subjects.
