About the IACA
The International Association of Crime Analysts was formed
in 1990 to help crime analysts around the world improve their
skills and make valuable contacts, to help law enforcement
agencies make the best use of crime analysis, and to advocate
for standards of performance and technique within the profession
itself. We accomplish these goals through training, networking,
and publications.
IACA membership is around 1,500 members and climbing.
Members include crime analysts, intelligence analysts, police
officers of all ranks, educators, and students. The majority
of our members (roughly 86%) are from agencies within the
United States of America. Non-U.S. members include analysts
from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, the
Cayman Islands, Chile, China, Cyprus, Fiji, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Haiti, India, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kenya,
Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand,
Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal,
Russia, Rwanda, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Trinidad & Tobago, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the
United Kingdom, and Venezuela.
The centerpiece of IACA activity has historically been its
annual conference, held at varying locations within the United
States. In 2004, we published our first book, Exploring
Crime Analysis. Our
certification
program was launched in 2005, and we began offering
our
professional training series in 2006.
