Conference

August 28 - September 1, 2023 in Grapevine, TX

Registration Costs

IACA Members: $575.00
Non-Members: $675.00
Full-Time Students: $150.00 (proof of full-time status required)

To be qualified for the student rate, the registrant must be a full-time undergraduate student, who is not employed by a law enforcement agency or an IACA exhibiting vendor. Students must submit a copy of their current transcripts to the IACA Conference Registrar ([email protected]) and be approved, prior to registering, to receive the student rate. Students actively enrolled in a crime and intelligence certification program also qualify for the student rate. The student rate does not apply to certification students employed full-time by a law enforcement agency as a crime/intelligence analyst or similar role. Full-time law enforcement employees (dispatcher, records specialist, etc.) who are certification students do qualify for the student rate.

Executive Track

This FREE one-day training is geared for all law enforcement leaders who are wanting to maximize their analytical capability and are seeking information on analytical best-practices, hiring techniques, or how to make the most of their analysts currently within their department.

All Executive Track attendees are also invited to attend Monday’s Opening Ceremonies, which will include presentations by Keynote Speaker Director of Texas Department of Public Safety Steven McCraw, Special Guest Speaker Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia, and Honored Guest Speakers from the National Police of Ukraine. Additionally, all Executive Track attendees are invited to attend the Exhibitor Expo with over 30 of the leading analytical software companies in the field and the Welcome Reception at the famous Austin Ranch.

Currently, the Executive Track will feature:

Chief of Police Jeff Walther from Scottsdale (AZ) Police Department
Chief of Police Ron Thomas from Denver (CO) Police Department
Chief of Police Rachel Tolber from Redlands (CA) Police Department
Assistant Chief Lee Rankin from Mesa (AZ) Police Department.
