International Association of Crime Analysts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA) is a professional association founded in 1990 to provide training, literature, networking, and professional development resources to individuals involved in the crime analysis profession. It also advocates for the development of crime analysis programs in law enforcement agencies. As of the beginning of 2005, the IACA had just over 1,000 members. It is governed by a board of five elected executive officers.
The IACA hosts an annual training conference, offers a Certified Law Enforcement Analyst credential, prints a periodic newsletter, in 2004 published a comprehensive text of the profession (Exploring Crime Analysis), and has plans to launch a series of professional training classes.
