Formed in 1996, the AACA has grown from an informal group of 12 to over 220 members. We are crime and intelligence analysts, sworn police officers, criminal justice faculty, students, and industry partners. We are a member driven organization striving to promote and enhance the needs and goals of our profession through support, networking and education. 

The AACA continues to serve as an incredible networking experience for law enforcement analysts throughout the state. Networking with other analysts fosters professional growth, collaboration and innovative techniques and approaches. By connecting with local analysts, we share access to specialized knowledge and practices relevant to the trends and patterns of our region. Analysts are able to work together on cases and projects, sharing resources and resulting in more thoughtful and creative solutions to problems. Networking also strengthens interpersonal skills, enhances working relationships and improves communication.
