Hello Everyone,
I hope you have
enjoyed our year with the SCIAI so far. We have had three classes
averaging 73 people per class. Lets keep it up with the SCIAI/ GAIAI
joint annual conference being held in Savannah, Ga. October 24-28th. I
have attached the registration form and some class information is listed
below. As you can see we already have classes like hands on crime scene,
post blast, bloodstain pattern analysis, underwater crime scene, and
post mortem intervals. We are working on a couple more presentations
including PowerPoint for Public Safety, Behavioral Investigation, and 10
print certification pre-class. These classes currently listed are
approved by the State of Georgia and I am working on getting them all
approve through our SC Academy as well.
Remember that nominations
and elections of the new SCIAI officers will be held at the annual
conference so your participation would be appreciated.
There
will also be social functions in the evenings the allow people across
the States to network with one another and allow everyone to meet the
Vendors participating in the conference that always includes free
stuff.

Preparing for the IAI Latent
Print Certification Exam
Kathleen Farrell, CLPE
Mack Brazelle, CLPE
We have found there are
many people who are qualified to take the test but
for whatever reason have not done so. Our goal is to
give examiners the motivation and confidence to take
the first step. This class will provide an overview
of the requirements and application process for the
IAI Latent Print Certification Exam. Students will
be informed on what to expect and how to prepare for
the test questions. Completing the comparison
portion of the test is often the most challenging
part. Strategies and helpful tips in latent analysis
will enhance your chances for success. This course
is limited to 25 students.
