IACA 2000 Training Conference - Denver, CO

For its 10th annual conference (“Dedication to Analysis”), the IACA returned to the location of its first conference: Denver, Colorado. Lincoln (NE) Police Chief Tom Casady kicked off the conference with a keynote on “What Police Chiefs Need from Crime Analysis.” Classes included pattern recognition, creating a hands-on crime bulletin, Microsoft Access queries, and crime analysis on the web.

In the tri-annual elections, Cambridge (MA) analyst Christopher Bruce, Overland Park (KS) analysis supervisor Gerry Tallman, and Overland Park (KS) analyst Susan Wernicke joined the Board as Vice President of Administration, Vice President of Membership, and Secretary. Fort Collins (CO) analyst Lori Frank retained her seat as Treasurer. A runoff election was necessary to decide the President—CMAP director Noah Fritz ultimately won.

Outgoing president Mark Stallo presented the member and President’s awards to SEARCH trainer Christopher Gebhardt and outgoing IACA Vice President Judy Kimminau.
