Lifetime CICA

Lifetime Criminal Intelligence Certified Analyst (Lifetime CICA) is the third tier of the IALEIA Professional Certification Program.  This tier is intended for individuals who have served in the criminal intelligence or analysis profession for fifteen (15) or more years and demonstrated their dedication to the profession through their years of service.  The Lifetime CICA should serve as a role model and mentor for less experienced analysts entering the profession.  The Lifetime CICA status is recognition of outstanding service and competency over the long term.
