2022 President's Message
Greetings! It has been an honor to have served on the Board of Directors for the Minnesota Division of the International Association for Identification for the past five years and now as the President. Additionally, it has been a pleasure to attend the Educational Conferences since joining the MNIAI as a member years ago and I enjoy the education they have provided.
I will give you a little background information on who I am. My name is Brad Litke and I received my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Metropolitan State University and later my Law Enforcement Certificate from CCJLE. Currently I am enrolled in Concordia University where I am working towards obtaining a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice Leadership. My quest to become a Police Officer began many years ago at the Airport Police Department, then the Edina Police Department, and in 2009 I began with the Burnsville Police Department. I currently am assigned to the Burnsville Police Department’s Investigations Division. I am also a part of our Crime Scene Team, Negotiations Team, and Honor Guard.
I would like to thank Former President Nik Smith for the successful 2021 MNIAI Educational Conference in Duluth. I think we can all agree it was very educational and the social networking part of it was great too. I am pleased to announce that in 2022 we will be returning to The Inn on Lake Superior, Duluth on September 14 through 16 for our yearly Conference. I am working on a number of different Speakers, presentations and demonstrations which will be interesting for all who attend.
You also may have heard that the MNIAI has a Facebook Group. Please take a moment to request membership to the Facebook Group where we can connect and share questions, ideas and techniques as well as updates on the conferences. Simply search for MNIAI on Facebook and you should have no trouble finding the group.
Thank you for visiting our website and for your involvement in the Minnesota Division of the International Association for Identification!
I look forward to seeing you in September of 2022!
Brad Litke
Burnsville Police Department
