Webinars are 1-2 hour long sessions, usually held once a month, via Zoom, that can either be stand-alone topics or a series of topics that connect from one to the next. The sessions can be taken independently, but for a webinar series, the material builds on itself as the year goes on so we encourage people to take the whole series.

Each webinar costs $15 for IACA members, $30 for non-members. (The series pass is no longer available for the Tactical series since we're already 2/3rds of the way through the year.) If a session is free, it will be noted in the description. All students who participate live will receive a Certificate of Attendance. All IACA members who register for a webinar will receive Continuing Education credits for that session, regardless if they attend live or receive the recording. 

Some (but not all) webinars are recorded and can be viewed in the webinar library by IACA members after 45 days have passed from the original air date. For previous webinar series and virtual conferences, please see the bottom of this page.

Course

Tactical Series 2024
Language English
Difficulty Level / Intended Audience Anyone
Description

Instructors: Angela Backer-Hines, Christopher Bruce, Dawn Reeby, and Jennifer Zawitz

Tactical crime analysis is a crucial element in modern policing, providing police with the tools and methodologies necessary to effectively combat crime. It's a frequent, action-oriented process meant to serve the immediate needs of the agency.

This webinar series will walk you through the entire tactical analysis process: from identifying a series, forecasting, tactical products, effective responses, all the way to post-arrest considerations. Instructors will provide real world examples and demonstrate techniques. 

All Tactical Series webinars will be recorded; if you cannot attend the live session, we will provide the recording within 2 business days. All registrants who are IACA members will receive Continuing Education Credits and you may request a certificate if you want one. For non-registrants, the recordings will be posted to the webinar library after 45 days.
