The Center for Intelligence and Crime Analysis (CICA) was established in January 2023 and is housed within the Sam Houston State University College of Criminal Justice. Our mission is to assist public safety agencies by enhancing their analytical capabilities through professional development, education, and research.
The public and private sectors operate in an environment fraught with threats and opportunities. The interconnected nature of American society increases the severity of manmade and natural threats facing public and private organizations. Building organizational resiliency and improving performance is predicated on an understanding of external and internal risk factors.
CICA’s goal is to enhance public safety through expanded and improved data analytics.
In fall 2024 we were fortunate to receive federal funding to support the growth and expansion of our operation, allowing us to develop new courses and deliver courses at multiple locations. We are grateful to Congressman Pete Sessions for his support of CICA and for this federal funding. Through this generous support, we are able to deliver courses without costs to individuals currently employed by public safety organizations.
