Texas Division of the International Association for Identification |
Welcome to the Texas Division of the IAI The Texas Division of the International Association for Identification was chartered in 1935 as a professional organization for crime scene analysts, latent print examiners, evidence technicians, forensic scientists, and law enforcement personnel. Our membership is comprised of practitioners from independent school districts, academia, medical examiner's offices, private industries, and local, county, state and federal agencies. While the TDIAI is 501(c)(6) non-profit professional organization created to represent the interests and needs of forensic professionals throughout the great State of Texas in 2021 the TDIAI Foundation was formed as a 501(c)(3) public charity to make forensic education, training, and research more accessible and affordable to all in Texas. |
TDIAI PresidentTravis KirkleyPresident's Message (Pending) | Become a Certified Footwear Examiner Are you a practicing footwear examiner looking to elevate your credentials to the next level? The International Association for Identification (IAI) offers certification specifically to meet the needs of the footwear discipline. The footwear certification program is designed for those individuals actively engaged in comparing footwear impression evidence. To qualify for test participation, individuals must meet specific criteria. Years of experience as a footwear examiner, combined with formal education and documented training, will be the primary focus when determining an individual’s eligibility for participating in the examination process. The certification process involves completing our application, fee submission, and the successful completion of both written and practical examinations. More information regarding cost, requirements, and application can be found on the IAI website, footwear certification page (www.theiai.org/footwear.php). Click here for more information.
