California Robbery Investigators Association

CRIA has been uniting California's finest for over 40 years...

The California Robbery Investigators Association was founded in 1972 to promote closer relationships between robbery investigators throughout the state, as well as professionals in private industries related to robbery investigation.

We strive to:

Aid in solving robbery cases by encouraging more effective dissemination and exchange of information
Support legislation to curb robberies and to ensure that adequate sentences are imposed on defendants
Prevent robberies by engaging the community and private industry through education
Provide educational opportunities for investigators and private industry professionals
Encourage the development of new methods, techniques, and technologies to assist investigators in identifying and apprehending robbery suspects
We represent and celebrate more than four decades of dauntless commitment to the California law enforcement community.

This award is presented annually to California law enforcement officers working in a uniformed, non-investigative capacity, who distinguishes him or herself for outstanding police work related to a robbery investigation.
