Message from the President
Hello
and welcome to the website of the International Association for Identification
(IAI). The IAI is the oldest and largest forensic professional association
in the world, and I have the honor of serving the membership as its 90th
President.
As you look through the pages of this site, you will find information regarding the history of the IAI and information about our certification programs in Bloodstain Pattern Examination, Crime Scene Investigation and Analysis, Footwear Examination, Forensic Art, Forensic Photography, Latent Print Examination, and Tenprint Examination. All of these certification programs are accredited by the Forensic Specialties Accreditation Board (FSAB) and are available to all qualified individuals, regardless of IAI membership. However, membership does have its privileges. Please click here to learn about becoming a member of the IAI. For information about FSAB, please visit their website at http://thefsab.org.
On our website, you will also find information on scholarships, employment, and training opportunities. Speaking of training, you owe it to yourself to attend one of our Annual International Educational Conferences if you work in the field of forensic identification or if you are a student interested in entering the field. Our educational conferences are second to none, and in today’s day and age represent an excellent value for your training funds.
We are in the process of updating our site and adding new content. Please make it a point to visit frequently.
I’m hoping to see you in Milwaukee during the week of August 7, 2011, for the IAI’s 96th Annual Educational Conference!
Sincerely,
President
