About Us

The Virginia Crime Analysis Network (VCAN) was established in 2001 with a mission to promote interagency information sharing and increase professionalism in the crime analysis field throughout the commonwealth. Our diverse membership includes analysts represented from law enforcement, private sector, nonprofit, and academia to create a safer Virginia. Through shared intelligence, symposiums, instruction, and dynamic forums, we harness collective wisdom to elevate analysis, ensuring a more secure and informed future.
