ATWJE - 2023 IACA Conference Review

Released on September 3, 2023 Description: In this episode, Jason talks about his thoughts on the 2023 IACA Conference in Grapevine, TX held August 28th to September 1st. IACA partnered with the Texas Law Enforcement Analyst Network (TXLEAN) and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) for this year’s conference.  

The International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA) advances the crime analysis field by providing criminal justice professionals with information, training, networking, and support (iaca.net). The IACA annual conference offers an opportunity to inform crime analyst decision-making and practices by sharing current and emerging research evidence. Conference presenters disseminate knowledge in ways that allow criminal justice practitioners to transform evidence into action.

CHALLENGE: There are Easter eggs in one of the tables of the Excel chapter that Jason wrote for the IACA textbook. First-person to email us at leapodcasts@gmail.com about what the Easter eggs are will receive a $50 gift card from us. Happy hunting!
