Grand Prairie, Texas

Program Analyst Cassandra Cantu and Data Analyst Christy Chanin, both of the Office of Planning, Analysis and Risk Management (OPARM), are conducting a data quality evaluation across FSIS sponsored by the Data Governance and Stewardship Committee and the Chief Data Scientist at FSIS Justin Ronca. The purpose of the evaluation is to understand business processes that are conducted within each Program Area and how those processes impact the quality of the data as well as day-to-day operations. They are currently working with the Office of Investigation, Enforcement and Audit (OIEA).

On May 5, Cantu and Chanin participated in a ride-along with compliance investigators in the OIEA Southwest Region to gain firsthand knowledge and experience of a “day in the life” of a compliance investigator. They conducted observations of surveillance activities during field visits to distribution centers and retail stores in Dallas. They also had an opportunity to observe compliance investigators entering surveillance data into AssuranceNet.
