Welcome to the MNIAI website!

Begun in 1915, the International Association for Identification (IAI) is the oldest forensic science organization in the United States and one of the oldest in the world. The IAI is dedicated to the development of the forensic sciences and to the continued education and certification of practicing forensic scientists and crime scene investigators.

Chartered in 1964, the Minnesota Division (MNIAI) holds an annual educational conference devoted to continuing education for the forensic sciences and crime scene investigation. Held in the fall or spring, the conference is two days long.
