About MARCAN
MARCAN is an association of law enforcement professionals who have joined together to enhance criminal information sharing and crime analysis training opportunities for its members. We are a 501(3)(c).
MARCAN advocates the highest professional standards in fostering a cooperative crime analysis network to assist the exchange of criminal information. We also routinely provide crime analysis-related training and can assist agencies in the research and development phase of implementing a crime analysis unit.
MARCAN meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month in conjunction with the Metro Intelligence Meeting. The Intelligence meeting begins at 10:00AM followed immediately by the MARCAN meeting. While the Metro Intelligence meeting is restricted to law enforcement only anyone interested in crime analysis is welcome at the MARCAN meeting. See the Metro Intel page for details on dates/locations. You and your department's representatives are welcome to attend MARCAN's next scheduled meeting with no obligation to assess the value of membership for yourself!
