Name: IACA Discussion List

Organization: International Association of Crime Analysts

Volume: Medium

Description:

The IACA Discussion list is provided to IACA members as a forum to discuss IACA business, IACA projects, and current issues in crime analysis. Only current members of the International Association of Crime Analysts may subscribe.

Postings to the list, visible to everyone subscribed, should be sent to IACAList@iaca.net. Your posting will be delivered to the moderators for posting to all subscribers.

If you want to manage your subscription, send a message to IACAList-request@iaca.net with the word "help" in the subject or memo fields to get a set of instructions.

If you have questions or problems, write to IACAList-owner@iaca.net.

MODERATION

The IACA Discussion List is moderated, meaning one of a group of moderators must review and approve each postings. Postings that violate these guidelines will be rejected:

1. Messages should be related to the IACA, crime analysis, or law enforcement.

2. The IACA Discussion List is not secure, and not all subscribers are members of law enforcement agencies. Please do not share sensitive or confidential information over the list.

3. Instead of using the list for driver's license requests or "I need a contact in..." postings, use the online membership directory to find contacts in various jurisdictions. EVERYONE subscribed to the list is also in the membership directory.

4. Avoid sending postings that simply hyperlink to a web site or a news article. If the web site or the news article are somehow related to crime analysis, offer them to the list along with your insights or analysis.

5. Consider carefully before submitting a reply to the entire list. There are many instances when it’s more appropriate to send e-mail directly to the individual who posted.

6. Maintain respect for other list members and their inboxes. No insults, profanity, inane postings, flooding of mailboxes, nor anything that continually annoys the list subscribers.

7. The IACA Discussion List is a membership benefit. Please do not allow non-member analysts to get this benefit, without joining the IACA, by forwarding their messages. You may, however, forward messages from non-analysts (such as police executives) who would not otherwise be expected to join the IACA.

8. You may post messages about upcoming training (corporate, nonprofit, or otherwise) to the list, but please only ONE message for each training.

9. Avoid "Thanks to all who responded" messages; instead, actually thank those who responded. An exception is if you are attaching a summary of the responses, or otherwise providing additional information, in the message.

LONG DISCUSSIONS

Topics that generate a large number of postings may be moved, at the discretion of the moderators, to an online Discussion Forum instead of the list. If this happens, list subscribers will be notified by e-mail.

Contact: If for some reason you were not subscribed automatically, write to listadmin@iaca.net to subscribe.
