SPOTLIGHT INVESTIGATIVE Display Your CFL Logo to Earn Business! on goods and services. Unfortunate accidents happen and lawsuits appear, and we forensic investigators reap the benefits of this turn of events. What a great 2019 IAIL Forensic Conference at the ALOA Training Center in Dal- M las, TX. Everyone is still raving about Beta Tam’s Tool Mark class! What a great ad- dition to our education offerings. Another group of students sat for the grueling Certified Forensic Locksmith (CFL) exam. Good luck to our new investigators! Keep in mind that IAIL allows its mem- bers to sit for the exam of your choice at any time while you are working on your mandatory requirements. Aſter passing the exam, you have one full year to complete the other requirements to earn your CFL credential. If you cannot complete them within that year, you will need to take the exam over. What is nice about the forensic conference is that everyone can sit down and dis- cuss cases and different techniques they used or want to use. It is a great networking session, and it gives you a chance to connect with colleagues from around the world. Most work referrals are done by our members to other members — we are not com- petitors but instead are professional colleagues. erry Christmas to our members and their families! ’Tis the season to be jolly and count your profits made this year! Would you believe that we’re wrapping up the year along with our presents? What a great year for forensic work. This comes with everyone earning and spending more disposable income Case Referrals This Past Month Baltimore Police Department needed an automotive forensics expert, and I referred two of our best-qualified CFLs to choose from. An automotive expert in Florida was referred to North East Services in Florida. Advertising yourself as a forensic in- vestigator is important, and part of that is displaying your credential logos on your website and business literature. If you are a CFL and don’t have the high-resolution version of the CFL logo, just drop me a note, and I’ll send you one. For our mem- bers who are Certified Fire Door Inspec- tors and Certified Forensic Locksmiths, those two logos look great side by side.
