Committed to Eliminating Criminal enterprises
The International Organization of Asian Crime Investigators & Specialists is committed to the betterment of communities worldwide, in the interest of public safety and homeland security. Call on us anytime for current information and advice.
Asian Gangs
The Boston and New York Police Departments noticed a troubling trend beginning back in 1978 with more Asian gangs committing murders, drive-by shootings, and other gang-related street crime.
Major cities in the United States and Canada began meeting to talk about the escalating criminal activities. IOACIS was formed, and the International Conference on Transnational Organized Crime and Terrorism was born. We are always available to help any public safety agency with guidance, training, education, and networking. Networking and nteragency cooperation are the key to successful investigations.
