Join host Kate Hohl on Tuesday, February 2/17, at 6:00pm EST for the February Crime Craft with retired FBI Agent Jerri Williams: “The FBI in Books, TV and Movies – Myths and Misconceptions.”
What most people know about the FBI they’ve learned from entertainment media. From the perspective of a retired agent who has also worked as a technical consultant for TV shows, Jerri Williams will explore what crime fiction and crime dramas get right and wrong about the FBI and present teachable moments.
Williams spent 26 years as a special agent, specializing in economic fraud and corruption investigations. She’s now on a mission to show the public what the FBI is and what the FBI does. The FBI Agents Association has recognized Williams as its Distinguished Service Honoree for sharing FBI stories. Through her police procedural novels, nonfiction book, blog, and true crime podcast, FBI Case File Review, she debunks misconceptions about the FBI found in books, TV, and movies. She has worked as a consultant for major TV studios, assisting producers and showrunners in developing realistic FBI characters and storylines. Learn more at jerriwilliams.com.
