Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies

What Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies does

The Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies (ASCIA) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit professional association founded in 1978 in Colorado, serving the senior leadership of U.S. state-level criminal investigative agencies. The organization currently has 48 of the 49 eligible state agencies as members, giving it near-total penetration of its addressable market. ASCIA's core function is convening and representing these agencies through biannual conferences (Spring and Fall), policy advocacy with federal and state legislative bodies, and public endorsements or oppositions to federal nominees and legislation affecting state criminal investigation.

ASCIA generates revenue through two primary streams: annual member agency dues ($900 per member agency) and a tiered corporate partnership program with pricing of $7,500 (Silver), $13,000 (Gold), and $20,000 (Platinum). The organization does not build or sell technology products; its deliverables are professional convening, peer intelligence sharing, and advocacy representation. ASCIA maintains a small executive operation led by Executive Director Dr. Trent Teyema, Associate Executive Director Timothy Lyon, and Executive Director Emeritus Louis Grever, alongside elected officer positions (President Drew Evans, Vice President Tony Mattivi, Secretary Chris Hosey, Treasurer Caren Sterling, Sergeant at Arms James Herzog).
