MDIAI Membership Information
The parent body of the International Association for Identification was organized in 1915 as a nonprofit organization "To keep its members apprised of the latest techniques and discoveries in crime detection" and "To employ the collective wisdom of the profession to advance the scientific techniques of personal identification and crime detection."
The Mississippi Division was organized in 1978 and chartered by the Parent Body in April, 1980, basing its philosophy upon that of the Parent Body. Since that time, the Division, its officers and members have worked diligently to not only produce a quality newsletter, Magnolia Print, but to educate and inform professional law enforcement personnel in the science of identification and crime detection.
Division members are professionals engaged in many facets of identification for federal, state, and local law enforcement or support agencies. Specifically, the membership includes police officers, sheriffs' deputies, detectives, firearms examiners, investigators, medical examiners, latent print examiners, accident reconstructionists, questioned document examiners, crime scene analysts, photographers, security personnel, training officers, identification specialists, serologist, trace analysts, arson investigators, composite artists, probation officers, toxicologists, and others engaged in similar fields.
If you are actively engaged in the science of forensic identification, or are a department identification head who is employed by the national, state, county, municipal government, or are employed in a capacity like those of our present members, you should become a member. The advantages include a quality informative newsletter, certification programs for latent print examiners and crime scene analysts, annual and semi-annual seminars where the Division presents professional speakers/instructors. You will also have the advantage of conversing with and networking with individuals who are currently utilizing new and advanced techniques in forensics.
