Carolyn Zapor

Carolyn Zapor's formal education began in Kingston, Ontario (Canada) where she attended Queen’s University and attained a bachelor's degree in sociology. From there, she traveled across the country to attend Simon Fraser University in British Columbia where she obtained her master’s degree in criminology. She completed her doctorate in criminal justice. Her dissertation focused on terrorist financial exploitation.

Zapor has teaching and work experience in the criminal justice field in both Canada and the United States. Specifically, I have been employed in the intelligence field first with the Coordinated Law Enforcement Unit, Vancouver, British Columbia where I specialized in organized crime, specifically credit card fraud – then with the Phoenix Police Department in their Organized Crime Bureau confronting both traditional and non-traditional OC.  

She joined i2 Inc. in November of 1997. Here, she was able to utilize her analytical and enforcement background and experience with a product, known as the Analyst’s Notebook, that she believes is a necessary and required tool in any type of comprehensive investigation. Subsequently, she became knowledgeable in designing and producing investigative analytical software for law enforcement agencies.

Zapor has taught criminal justice classes (including intelligence courses) in higher education both online and face-to-face for more than 10 years.
