The following is a list of clubs that students and faculty are active members of.

American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers (ASLET)
The American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers (ASLET) has been described as the "Association for those who teach and those who want to learn and improve law enforcement training." They are dedicated to enhancing and promoting excellence in law enforcement training while increasing the effectiveness of their members to better serve their communities and society.


Association of Former Intelligece Officers (AFIO)
Thousands of dedicated Americans served their country in the field of Intelligence. They served in the CIA, Military Services or other Government Departments, the FBI or Law Enforcement. Many now belong to AFIO, a nationwide organization that is dedicated to providing the American public with a better knowledge and understanding of intelligence and the need for it to serve our country and national leaders. For those who didn’t serve in the Intelligence field but have a strong interest in it, membership is available today with sponsorship by an active member. In addition, serving Government professionals may join as Associate Members.

California Homicide Investigators Association (CHIA)
Since its inception, the CHIA membership has grown to over 1400 members that include law enforcement representatives from all of the Western States and Canada. The purpose of CHIA is to provide training, education, and networking opportunities for all of those involved in the investigation of homicides within the State of California. The “cornerstone” of CHIA is our annual training conference that now attracts upwards of 600 homicide detectives, coroner investigators and prosecutors from across the nation. During this three-day event, the participants attend notable case presentations and training seminars. In addition, the conference provides a fertile environment for networking, individual case evaluations, and discussions of investigative techniques with some of the top investigators and prosecutors in the country.

International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA)
The International Association of Crime Analysts was formed in 1990 to help crime analysts around the world improve their skills and make valuable contacts, to help law enforcement agencies make the best use of crime analysis, and to advocate for standards of performance and technique within the profession itself. They accomplish these goals through training, networking, and publications.

International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE)
IAFIE recognized the need for a professional association that would span the diverse disciplines of national security, law enforcement and competitive intelligence and provide a catalyst and resources for their development and that of Intelligence Studies. Members of IAFIE are drawn from academia and the various disciplines of intelligence including national security, law enforcement and the private sector. Individuals with a general interest in the subject of intelligence are also encouraged to join.

International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts (IALEIA)
Before 1980 there was no organization dedicated to the special needs of analytical personnel in law enforcement. To fill a perceived need, a small group of professional intelligence analysts and managers held their first official meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana in October - 1981. They created what is known as the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS, INC. (IALEIA).

Society for Competitive Intelligence (SCIP)
Established in 1986, today the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP) has over 50 chapters around the world, with individual members in more than 50 nations. SCIP is a global nonprofit membership organization for everyone involved in creating and managing business knowledge. Their mission is to enhance the skills of knowledge professionals in order to help their members' companies achieve and maintain a competitive advantage. Specifically, SCIP provides education and networking opportunities for business professionals working in the rapidly growing field of competitive intelligence (the legal and ethical collection and analysis of information regarding the capabilities, vulnerabilities, and intentions of business competitors). Many SCIP members have backgrounds in market research, strategic analysis, or science and technology.

The Mercyhurst College SCIP chapter became the first SCIP student chapter in the world in 1997. Since then they've managed to provide numerous speakers to their members as well as send twenty-five students to annual conferences.
