In-Person ClassesThese classes are $395 for members and $445 for non-members. We provide in person training as requested by local agencies/regional associations. Available topics are outlined below. Please note that several classes that were previously offered in-person are now available as online classes, which are offered once per quarter, every year. Passing students are awarded a certificate and hours of Continuing Education credits, specific to each class. For more about the CEUs, please read our FAQs page. Payment must be received by the IACA in order to receive proof-of-training and it will be withheld until the payment is received. Upcoming classes:
If you’d like to bring a particular class to your area, please review the hosting requirements below:Host agencies/associations must provide either a computer lab (for Tactical Crime Analysis, Computer Applications, and Crime Mapping) or a lecture/meeting room (Problem Analysis) for each class. Computer labs must have a minimum of 14 computers (not counting the instructor computer) and lecture/meetings rooms must seat 20 students comfortably. If you do not have a computer available, then we can use a lecture/meeting room and require that students bring their own laptops. Computer-based courses held in a computer lab have specific software requirements. If an agency decides to host a Tactical Crime Analysis class or Computer Applications class, the computer lab must be equipped with Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2007 or higher. To host a Crime Mapping class, the computer lab must be equipped with ESRI’s ArcGIS 10 and the Spatial Analyst extension for each student. If your lab does not already own licenses for ArcGIS 10, then you cannot host the Crime Mapping class as there is no way to procure the licenses. We’re currently working on a version of the class using ArcGIS Pro. Training Classrooms/computer labs must be equipped with a laptop computer and projector for the instructor. The room must also have a dry erase board, Smartboard or flip charts for use by the instructor. The training facility must have ample parking and must be located near hotels and dining. In order to host a class, the host agencies/associations must have 12 paid students registered for the class 15 business days prior to the first day of the class. If an agency has not met this minimum, the class may be cancelled. For every 9 paid students in the class, the host agency/association will receive one free seat in the class. If a host agency has 18 paid students registered for the class, the host agency will receive 2 free seats. The IACA will not open up classes to more than 20 students. If the host agency/association requests a larger class size, an additional cost for a class/lab assistant will be assessed. If you would like to host a class, please fill out this form and a member of the Training Committee will be in touch. |
