Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012 (IAVCA) is a federal law in the United States that clarifies the statutory authority for federal law enforcement agencies to provide investigatory assistance to the States. The Act provided that, upon request from a state or local government, federal law enforcement may assist in the investigation of violent crime occurring in non-federal, public places. The Act did not create any new crimes but rather mandated a definition, across federal law enforcement agencies, of "mass killings" as a killing of three or more victims in the same incident. The Act enabled the Federal Bureau of Investigation to develop a program of research and training to address active shooter incidents.
