| The Crime Analyst Email ListServ is an email based forum where only crime-related information is exchanged with agencies throughout the Dallas Fort Worth (Texas) area. |

| CRIMEMAP was established by the CMRC in order to get crime analysts, researchers, geographers, and other interested parties communicating about computerized mapping technologies related to criminal justice applications. The listserv enables subscribers to post and respond to questions, and also serves as a vehicle for CMRC staff to announce upcoming conferences and new publications. |
| IACA Discussion List |
International Association of Crime Analysts |
Low
|
The IACA Discussion list is provided to IACA members as a forum to discuss IACA business, IACA projects, and current issues in crime analysis. Only current members of the International Association of Crime Analysts may subscribe.
Postings to the list, visible to everyone subscribed, should be sent to IACAList@iaca.net. Your posting will be delivered to the moderators for posting to all subscribers.
If you want to manage your subscription, send a message to IACAList-request@iaca.net with the word "help" in the subject or memo fields to get a set of instructions.
If you have questions or problems, write to IACAList-owner@iaca.net.
MODERATION
The IACA Discussion List is intended to be a moderate-volume or low-volume list. It’s primary purpose is to discuss IACA business and IACA projects, and for this reason, we want all IACA members to remain subscribed—not to sign off because they are annoyed or disgusted with the volume and content of the postings.
To this end, a moderator must approve messages sent to the list. If a moderator rejects the message, it will not be sent to the subscribers. To be approved, the message must conform to the following guidelines:
1. Postings are restricted to IACA business, IACA projects, crime analysis issues, and topics of general interest to crime analysts. Other police-related but non-crime analysis queries and information should be sent to other lists specifically devoted to these topics, or to general lists that welcome postings on all topics.
2. The IACA List has about 2,000 members from around the world. Postings of purely local interest are discouraged.
3. Make sure that your posting has a descriptive title--"Question About Comparing UCR to NIBRS" rather than just "UCR Question."
4. No driver's license requests or "I need a contact in..." postings. Use the online membership directory to find contacts in various jurisdictions.
5. Avoid sending postings that simply hyperlink to a web site or a news article. If the web site or the news article are somehow related to crime analysis, offer them to the list along with your insights or analysis.
6. Consider carefully before submitting a reply to the entire list. There are many instances when it’s more appropriate to send e-mail directly to the individual who posted. The value of the list to individual members goes down as the percentage of irrelevant posts goes up. (By default, hitting the “reply” button will send to the poster, not to the entire list.)
7. Maintain respect for other list members and their inboxes. Insults, profanity, inane postings, flooding of mailboxes, and anything that continually annoys the list subscribers will be rejected.
8. The IACA Discussion List is a membership benefit. Please do not allow non-member analysts to get this benefit, without joining the IACA, by forwarding their messages. You may, however, forward messages from non-analysts (such as police executives) who would not otherwise be expected to join the IACA.
9. The IACA Discussion List shall not be used primarily for advertising. Corporate members may post one announcement about a new product or service. Corporate training companies may post one message per month listing all of their upcoming trainings. Non-profit organizations may send one posting per month regarding an upcoming conference or symposium. (Exception: the IACA itself, which may post as needed about its own conferences and training opportunities, since they fall under the category of IACA Business.)
Remember
The IACA Discussion List is the primary mechanism by which members are notified of business, project updates, announcements, and votes. We encourage all members to remain subscribed to the list so they can fully participate in the IACA.

| The primary purpose of this list is to provide a place where Law Enforcement employees (sworn and non-sworn), Academia (Instructors and Students), and businesses providing products and/or services to Law enforcement can meet and exchange information, methods, and ideas regarding the analysis of crime. However, we do allow other Law Enforcement related postings in order to keep a free flow of questions and answers regarding all sorts of Law Enforcement problems. |
