The International Association for Identification, Georgia State Division’s Official Quarterly Newsletter

This year our conference will be a joint conference with the Florida Division of the IAI. The conference will be held at the Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City Beach in Florida’s panhandle. The Edgewater Beach Resort is a first class property. One-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom villas complete with kitchens are available. These first class accommodations start at just $86 for a 1-bedroom villa and $95 for a 2-bedroom villa. This makes shar-ing a room with a co-worker much easier as you will have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The resort features several restaurants, a brand new conference center and complete golf facilities. All conference attendees staying at the Edgewater are entitled to a complimentary round of golf on their executive golf course. The program this year will be even larger than the one at last year’s FDIAI conference. Although sev-eral additional lectures are being finalized, the tenta-tive schedule is posted online (go to www.fdiai.org). There are more workshops than ever before in addi-tion to the usual three 40-hour workshops. There are several lectures relating to terrorism and other timely topics. The website will be updated as the program is updated. What sets this conference apart from others is the value attendees and their agencies receive. There is no other forensic training conference in existence that offers this amount of training for the cost. For members, a $150 full registration will give you access to all lectures, workshops (other than the (3) 40-hour workshops which are $50 additional) and the exhibi-tor hall with more than 42 exhibitor booths display-ing the absolute latest in forensic technology. The conference is legendary for combining the best train-ing with the most enjoyable social activities. Compli-mentary coffee is provided every morning and NEC will be providing a complimentary lunch on Tuesday. All training counts towards IAI certification require-

Hello Everyone, I hope that everyone is doing well these days. Unfortunately I missed the summer meeting be-cause of court, but I understand that everything went well. I would like to thank Kathy West and the Griffin Police Department for hosting the meeting. I would like to congratulate two of our members on their recent re-tirement from the GBI, Lou Cuendet and Terry Cooper. Both of these men have been long-time members of the GAIAI and they have contributed greatly to the success of our organization. I wish them well in their retirement and I am honored to have been able to work with each of them. Terry Cooper has resigned his po-sition as 2nd VP, so I am appoint-ing Patricia Gilbert to the position of 2nd Vice President and Rita Smith to the position of Historian. They will fill these positions until the election of officers at the an-nual conference. Stephen Greene has posted the conference schedule on the web-site. I would encourage everyone to look at the schedule and regis-ter for the conference. The train-ing looks very good. I look forward to seeing each of you at the conference.

Ron Smith teaches. It is unknown how much of that cost the Division gets to keep. Stephen will keep working on it. The Board previously approved purchasing a camera for the Historian position. Brenda Hutson asked that the purchase of the camera be tabled until the GAIAI/FDIAI conference, since there would be extensive costs associated with the Divi-sion’s purchase of 100 GAIAI logo polo shirts and 300 GAIAI coins as souvenirs for the IAI meeting in Dallas, TX. Brenda Hutson stated that she was waiting on the proofs for the coins and polo shirts from the companies who were making the designs.

Forensic Ridgeology Course

Instructor: SSgt. David Ashbaugh, RCMP

September 19-23, 2005 (0800-1600 daily)

La Quinta Inn, Stockbridge, Georgia

Course Description (As described on CLPEX.com): This course is applicable to both veteran and novice friction ridge identification specialists. The purpose of the course is to develop an understanding and working knowledge of Evaluative Friction Ridge Identification, at the basic and advanced levels, and to present an introduction to Palmar Flexion Crease Identification. The premises of identification, scientific basis and identification process are reviewed and presented in a manner which is appli-cable to both sciences. An evaluative identification process consisting of a philosophy and methodology is pre-sented and demonstrated with class participation. The student will also learn this systematic process not only flat-tens the learning curve, but empowers the expert to clearly describe how an evaluative identification is carried out using a step-by-step process. Class participation is designed to develop a candidate’s ability and confidence when describing the various specifics involved in evaluative friction ridge identification.

This Course is NOT the same as Kasey Wertheim's Forensic Ridgeology Course.

Cost: $425 per person Class size limited to 25 students (first-come first-served basis).

Registration deadline: 4 September 2005 No refunds will be issued after 4 September 2005.
