notIACA is absurd. It is ridiculous and petty and over-the-top. It is an exaggerated version of reality, but still reality. There is an underlying truth in every image, meme, and piece of text on this site. This website is dedicated to holding up a mirror to the International Association of Crime Analysts' leadership. notIACA exists to provide a sharp and necessary critique of the IACA's unacceptable practices, institutional incompetence and chronic unwillingness to take any meaningful corrective action. So browse our content, listen to our tunes, laugh at our memes & images, and share your stories if you want. This is a safe space where you can exist free from the wrath of the IACA leadership. No ethics investigations, marginalizing, or bullshit gag orders here. Our committees won't make you sign loyalty oaths like some associations.

Members have tried for years to be nice and ask politely for change. Nothing happened. In fact, the leadership has doubled down and gaslit members, insisting there either were no problems, no "big" problems, or insisting YOU are the problem. They continue to make this argument today, so we are trying a different tactic. Now we are going to be assholes. We will air the association's dirty laundry. It's a race to the bottom at this point, but if this is what it takes to raise awareness and generate the change we are seeking, then we are willing to sacrifice a little dignity in exchange for a truly professional association.

Until then, this site will continue to mock, ridicule, expose, offend and criticize the extensive shortcomings of the IACA leadership until the substantive actions we seek are put in place. It would be great if every board member voluntarily resigned and issued a letter of apology to the membership, but we know that's only a dream. Crime analysts deserve better than clowns running the IACA.
