Formed nearly 30 years ago, the Arizona Association of Crime Analysts has grown from an informal group of 12 members to today surpassing 200 members. The AACA continues to serve as a phenomenal networking experience for law enforcement analysts, research specialists, and academics. 

Talent within the association has grown and the demand for skilled, knowledgeable crime analysts in all parts of law enforcement and criminal justice has increased. Decision makers rely on crime analysis more and more every day and as the public’s ability to demand more information regarding crime and criminals increases, so too will the recognition that a well-trained crime analyst is a necessity for every community.

Today the AACA is a large, organized group of analysts and criminal justice professionals from all over the state who engage in information sharing,  establishment of crime analysis standards and goals, and provide instruction on crime analysis theory and practice.
