WHY CHOOSE CRIMECRAFT STORY ADVISORS?

When you’re creating a crime story, you want the details to be as sharp and authentic as the plot itself. That’s where CrimeCraft Story Advisors comes in. I’m a working homicide detective with boots-on-the-ground experience in today’s rapidly changing investigative landscape, combined with years of television production experience. I understand not just how real investigations unfold, but how to translate that into gripping, compelling stories on the page and the screen.

The truth is, the job of police officers and detectives today is nothing like it was even a decade ago. Patrol and investigative techniques have evolved at breakneck speed, and anyone who’s been out of the game for a while—no matter how much experience they had—just isn’t equipped with the knowledge needed to reflect modern detective work. It’s easy to rely on outdated practices, but today’s world moves fast. From body-worn video to digital forensics to advanced surveillance, the game has changed—and continues to change every day.

But that doesn’t mean the basics are dead. The tried-and-true method of hitting the streets, talking to people, and gathering evidence is still crucial. The key is knowing how to blend old-school, shoe-leather detective work with the new-school tools that can crack a case wide open even without a single human witness. In today’s world, cases are solved by connecting the dots with technology—digital footprints, cell data, and surveillance footage—that can reveal the truth in ways traditional investigations couldn’t.

That’s where my television production experience comes in. I spent years working behind the scenes in TV, where I learned the importance of precision, pacing, and storytelling that resonates with audiences. Combining this with my real-world detective work, I bring a unique perspective to your project. I know how to take the technical realities of investigations and make them visually compelling, ensuring your crime story feels both authentic and engaging.

If you want to write, film, or produce a crime story that reflects today’s world, you need more than just experience—you need current experience. That’s what CrimeCraft Story Advisors delivers—real, modern detective work, translated into powerful stories for literature, nonfiction, film and TV.
