IACA Tactical Crime Analysis Training with Chris Bruce - Seattle, WA July 30-August 3

Just a reminder that NORCAN is hosting the IACA Tactical Crime Analysis Training course with Chris Bruce from July 30 - August 3 in Seattle (location TBA).  We last hosted this training with Chris back in 2006 and it was fantastic.

As a NORCAN member, your price is reduced by $100 bringing the cost down to $295. 

NOTE: To obtain the NORCAN discount students must register online at the IACA website at the normal IACA rate, then forward the invoice they receive via email to Cynthia Konecny (administration@norcan.us).  She will then let the IACA Training Director know about the NORCAN student who registered and they will reissue them a discounted invoice.

Our location in the greater Seattle area should be announced soon. 

The IACA has posted this training on its web site, so secure your spot now.

 

NORCAN Links and Social Networks

 

Greetings, NORCAN:

Since we have several new members, I wanted to take a minute to remind everyone about some of the NORCAN-specific lists and social networks we make available to members.  Because some agencies have differing rules about what sites you can visit or subscribe to at work, we don’t sign our members up automatically.

  • The NORCAN web site can be found at www.NORCAN.us.  Most announcements for the group are posted there, but because the site is open to the public, not all notifications or resources are available on the web site.
  • You can get a hold of any of the NORCAN board members using the email addresses listed on the CONTACT US page  on the web site, or write to info@norcan.us.
  • We have a LISTSERV for members only using Google Groups.  You’ll need to create a free Google account (you can use your work email, or personal email, so you do not need a Google mail address), then go to the following site and click the Apply for Membership link: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/norcanls.  The LISTSERV is intended as an easy way for you to share information or ask questions of your fellow members.  NOTE:  This LISTSERV is open to all NORCAN members and as such no LE sensitive material should be posted there.
  • NORCAN also has a LinkedIn Group you can join.  Simply go to the following web site and click the Join Group button: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=3602510&trk=anet_ug_hm. NOTE: While this group is also open only to NORCAN members, please do not post LE sensitive material.
  • You can join our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/norcan.analysts
  • We also have a Twitter feed at: http://www.twitter.com/norcan_us
  • And don’t forget, your NORCAN membership also includes full membership in the IACA, so be sure to check out their site at www.IACA.net

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re using an email address or nickname that doesn’t include your real name, please be sure to let us know who you are when you sign up for any of these services because they are for NORCAN members only.  If we can’t tell who is signing up, we can’t approve your account.

Most official NORCAN messages get posted on our web site, Facebook page, and Twitter feed, and they’ll also show up on our LinkedIn page news feed. 

Please let me know if you have questions or run in to any issues.
