The International Association for Identification is a worldwide organization comprised of sworn and civilian professionals who are involved in all aspects of forensic identification including such areas as fingerprint science, crime scene investigation, DNA technology, and forensic photography just to name a few.

The I.A.I. offers certification programs for professionals working in these varied areas. Rigorous standards must be met, in terms of education and experience, in order to be certified by the I.A.I. One such certification program is the Crime Scene Certification program. This program involves all aspects of crime scene investigation including evidence recognition, documentation, preservation and interpretation. The highest attainable certification level in this tri-level program is the Senior Crime Scene Analyst certification. As a crime scene investigator, I attained my initial certification as a Senior Crime Scene Analyst in 1990 and have been re-certified as required by the I.A.I. up to and including the present time.

By maintaining my certification I can assure my clients that the services I provide will be of the highest quality, meeting the most up-to-date technical and legal standards.
