The 22nd Annual Training Conference will be held at The Ravella, a luxury resort in Henderson, Nevada. The conference dates are September 10th - 13th, 2012. A Mediterranean-inspired oasis nestled in the Southwestern desert, The Ravella infuses a dramatic setting with unimaginable luxury and amenities.
In addition to its scenic location, the 2012 conference will feature many training sessions for analysts at all experience levels. A combination of great training, picturesque location and excellent facilities makes this a unique training conference experience that you will not want to miss!
Building upon the success of our First International Symposium held earlier this year in Vancouver, Canada, the IACA will once again offer a training symposium. In 2012, the IACA will partner with Europol for the Second International Symposium.
The 2012 Symposium will be held April 17th - 18th, 2012 at the Headquarters of Europol in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Registration for the Second International Symposium will open in January and the annual training conference registration will open in February. More information about these unique training events will be posted soon. Keep up-to-date by following us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, our Blog, or right here on iaca.net. You can also follow @IACAConference on Twitter to receive only conference-related news and updates.
La IACA en América del Sur
The IACA has partnered with Fundación Paz Ciudadana, a nonprofit organization in Chile, to offer a third crime analysis symposium in Santiago, Chile in June 2012. The symposium will coincide with the unveiling of a new South American crime analysis training curriculum, developed by the FPC and the IACA from the IACA’s existing Professional Training Series courses. The IACA is also working with Paz Ciudadana on a Spanish-language book of best practices in the crime analysis field. Paz Ciudadana recently received a grant from the Motorola Foundation to fund these and other crime analysis and prevention efforts in South America.
I am absolutely excited to announce an historical moment for the IACA and our members! This week, the number of active members hit a record 2000, and is still climbing.

Wednesday night around 2130, my home phone rang, and it was Chief Jim Peschong.

Tony was an eight year veteran of LPD. Our hearts and prayers go out to his wife, children, parents, and family.
From time to time, we have dealt with passing of a coworker. S....
