Failure Protocol
培训不及格相关协议
The IACA process will consist of two phases. If a candidate does not meet the required pre-
requisite qualifications or does not pass the test, he/she will not be certified by the IACA. If the
candidate does not meet the basic requirements to be certificated, the process will not proceed
any further.
The candidate must first meet the requirements of (1) having three years of experience as
working analyst and (2) being a current IACA member. If these requirements are met, the packet
will be forwarded to an IACA certification committee member for scoring. The committee
member will be responsible for tallying the points and reviewing the candidate’s documentation.
If it is determined that the candidate does not have the required number of points to proceed to
the next phase (test), the candidate will be charged a $10 fee, to cover the administrative
expenses to the IACA. The candidate will be given a written report showing an accounting of
the point system.
The second and final phase of the process is the certification examination. If the candidate
passes the examination, he/she will be certified by the IACA. A passing score of 70% on each of
the 20 skill set areas must be obtained to become certified. If the candidate does not pass the
test, he/she will be sent a report listing the sections in which he or she was deficient, and 100%
of the certification fee will be kept to cover costs of the testing process.
The candidate will have a one-year grace period to retake the test. During this one-year period,
the candidate must take the entire examination over again, but for only $25, to cover
administrative costs. If this attempt to pass the test is again unsuccessful, the candidate will be
required to wait for a one-year period before retaking the test again. The one-year period will
start on the date of the most recent attempt.
After the one-year period expires, a re-test candidate will be required to pay the entire fee again
and retake the entire exam. Candidates will only be allowed to take the certification examination
a total of four (4) times, including the retake during the first year (should the candidate choose to
take it at the discount rate).
Appeal Process:
All appeals concerning the Certification process will first be directed to the Certification
Commission (currently the TOC). Any further appeals will be directed in writing to the President
of the IACA. The President will converse with the IACA Executive Board whose decision will
be returned in writing and will be considered final.
Appeals may be directed to the Oversight Committee and then the IACA President concerning
three issues: (a) minimum requirements, (b) tabulation of points and (c) the grading of the exam.
Re-certification Criteria
重新认证标准
Every three (3) years following original certification or subsequent re-certification, the certified
analyst must meet at least two of the following conditions:
1. Develop and present a 1-hour (or longer) training segment or class relating to
crime/intelligence analysis, at the collegiate level or at a training conference.
2. Present a 2-hour (or longer), pre-developed training segment with an existing curriculum,
relating to crime/intelligence analysis.
3. Participate in crime/intelligence-related training totaling forty (40) hours or more,
through a recognized provider or agency.
4. Develop a documented computer-aided analytic technique, and shared this information
with peers, via IACA or some other professional organization/journal.
5. Participate in a large, complex case or analysis task that required the use of significant
analytical expertise (This must come on agency letterhead, signed by the agency head,
and must include a detailed description of the case; commendations letter count).
6. Pursue college coursework in a field related to the skill set items, earning a minimum of 3
credit hours with a grade of C or better.
7. Publish a crime/intelligence related article in a professional or peer-reviewed journal.
8. Complete any other activity or work that is not covered in the aforementioned conditions,
and which is considered by the IACA Certification Commission to be significant. This
could include being a regular contributor to a crime/intelligence-related publication, or
any other activity that indicates continued interest and activity in the field.
Each of these conditions can be applied twice over the specified time period, but the specific
topics or activities cannot be duplicated (i.e., if an applicant gave the same presentation twice, it
would only count toward one requirement). The certified analyst must submit documentation to
verify the achievement of any of these conditions, along with a brief re-certification application.
The analyst must also possess a current membership in the International Association of Crime
Analysis (IACA). A minor fee of $10 is also required, to cover administrative and materials
costs.
At the beginning of the second year of certification, IACA will send a letter to remind the
certified analyst of the re-certification criteria and timeframe. Ninety days prior to the analyst's
certification expiring, a second notice will be sent. A 90-day grace period will be given past the
certification expiration; after the 90-day grace period, the analyst must re-apply and be re-tested.
Documents pertaining to the re-certification process, and instruction on how and when to use
them, will be available on the IACA website. This will include the re-certification application
and the fee payment form.
The IACA Certification Commission will vote for approval or non-approval. If approved, a
certificate of re-certification will be sent to the analyst. If not approved, a letter will be sent to
the analyst giving the reason for non-approval. It is suggested that the re-certification process be
started as early on as possible, since the 3-year certification time period would continue to apply,
even if rejected on the first attempt. If a certified analyst is not approved for re-certification,
he/she can re-apply, as long as it is still within the aforementioned time frame. Once the allotted
time has expired, however, the analyst will need to re-apply and be re-tested.
Re-certification Criteria Explanations
Develop and present a 1-hour (or longer) training segment or class relating to
crime/intelligence analysis, at the collegiate level or at a training conference.
Applicants can meet this criterion by developing and presenting a curriculum relating to
crime/intelligence analysis. The class cannot be borrowed from another source; it must be
the applicant’s creation. The class or training segment can cite other sources, of course, but
the overall curriculum must be original. For example, if an applicant develops a
conference presentation on pivot tables in Excel, that would meet this criterion. Another
example would be teaching a class on crime analysis at a local college, and developing the
curriculum for that class. The Certification Commission reserves the right to determine the
applicability and relevance of the class.
Present a 2-hour (or longer), pre-developed training segment with an existing curriculum,
relating to crime/intelligence analysis.
Applicants can meet this criterion by presenting a pre-existing curriculum relating to
crime/intelligence analysis. The class material can be designed or originally taught by
someone else in the field, whom you must cite when submitting documentation for this
criterion. For example, if an applicant downloads a presentation from a past conference
and then presents that material to other analysts in his/her geographical area, that would
meet this criterion. Another example would be teaching a class on crime analysis at a local
college, for which the curriculum and syllabus have already been designed. The
Certification Commission reserves the right to determine the applicability and relevance of
the class.
Participate in crime/intelligence-related training totaling forty (40) hours or more, through
a recognized provider or agency.
This criterion is very similar to the Continuing Professional Education criterion on the
original certification application, so please refer to that when attempting to meet this
objective. Training hours can be earned by attending and completing a course related to
crime analysis and/or the skill set items. A “recognized provider or agency” includes both
public and private entities that offer course work requiring a demonstration of proficiency
(i.e., a grade, certificate or continuing education credits). A grade could be awarded as
“Pass/Fail” or “Credit/No Credit” provided that “Credit” or “Pass” is equivalent to a “C” or
better. The forty (40) hours may be accumulated through more than one course, such as a
16-hour course on one topic and a 24-hour course on another topic. This differs from re-
certification criterion number six (6) in that it is specific to non-college-related training.
Documentation must be submitted for all courses completed.
Develop a documented computer-aided analytic technique, and shared this information
with peers, via IACA or some other professional organization/journal.
The applicant will have created, on his/her own, a computer-aided analytic technique that
facilitates the development of our field and/or aids in the practice of a particular skill set
item. This technique shall be documented to report findings of its usefulness, strengths,
weaknesses, validity, and accuracy. Further, the applicant must share and disseminate this
technique to the peer community through a medium such as a professional journal (e.g., the
American Journal of Criminal Justice), newsletter (e.g., the IACA Forecaster) or website
(e.g., http://www.iaca.net). This criterion will, like others for re-certification, be subject to
approval by the IACA Certification Commission, based on evaluation and documentation.
Participate in a large, complex case or analysis task that required the use of significant
analytical expertise (This must come on agency letterhead, signed by the agency head, and
must include a detailed description of the case).
Applicants for re-certification can submit a synopsis and documentation of their
participation in a complex case within their agency. Department Commendations will be
acceptable as documentation of accomplishing this objective, as will letters from
supervisors or agency heads. Please omit specific, confidential information that would not
normally be made public. The applicant can submit anything he/she deems appropriate to
allow the Certification Commission to review the relevance and applicability to this
criterion.
Pursue college coursework in a field related to the skill set items, earning a minimum of 3
credit hours.
This criterion is very similar to the Education criteria on the original certification
application, so please refer to those when attempting to meet this objective. College
coursework consists of classes provided by a college or other educational organization for
college credit or continuing education units. A grade could be awarded as “Pass/Fail” or
“Credit/No Credit,” provided that “Credit” or “Pass” is equivalent to a “C” or better. These
courses serve the purpose of updating the knowledge and skills of working analysts. This
differs from re-certification criterion number three (3) in that it is specific to only college
courses. College courses falling into this category must be post-degree, meaning that
classes taken during the course of earning a degree are not eligible. However, if the
applicant does not have a college degree at all, any courses taken related to the skill set
may be applied under this category. The applicant can meet this criterion by completing
one semester-long college course, which is approximately 36-40 hours of class time.
Publish a crime/intelligence related article in a professional or peer-reviewed journal.
Applicants can meet this criterion by publishing an article, paper or book related to the
field of crime analysis. A self-published book related to crime analysis may count as one
publication. Articles in the IACA Forecaster, peer- reviewed journals and various law
enforcement publications would apply. Letters to list servers and publications on web
pages would not apply. A copy of the publication(s) and documentation must be submitted
with the certification application. The Certification Commission reserves the right to
decide the applicability and relevance of the publication.
Complete any other activity or work that is not covered in the aforementioned conditions,
and which is considered by the IACA Certification Commission to be significant. This
could include being a regular contributor to a crime/intelligence-related publication, or any
other activity that indicates continued interest and activity in the field.
