About this episode

Kenneth Melson discusses the future of crime solving with a focus on forensic science and eSleuth AI.

Kenneth Melson was a longtime federal prosecutor who's served in all manner of roles for the federal government. Many of those have drawn on his expertise in forensic science. Today, he is working with eSleuth. This interview is part of our new occasional recurring segment, the Future of Crime Solving. It’s a series where we will talk to different figures associated with eSleuth AI. eSleuth AI offers a suite of new tools crafted to help eliminate backlogs and get cases solved — cold and otherwise. It employs artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, and its systems are Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice Information System compliant. To help convince law enforcement departments around the country that eSleuth is the future of crime solving, the company is working with an impressive array of former law enforcement officials. And they’re willing to talk to us.  If you're a law enforcement official curious about eSleuth AI, email Scot at sthomasson@esleuth.ai or check out their website at: https://www.esleuth.ai/ Find discounts for Murder Sheet listeners here:  https://murdersheetpodcast.com/discounts Check out our upcoming book events…
