INVESTIGATIVE SPOTLIGHT Looking Ahead to ALOA 2021 There will be classes and hands-on events for everyone in the forensic field. What- ever your forensic specialty is, make sure you have the latest knowledge so you can be the best in you chosen field. I New Recertification Requirements The new recertification forms were sent to ALOA Education, and they should start administering them once everyone signs off. I want to thank Beta Tam for all of his hard work in pulling together these requirements for recertification. There must be strict guidelines for recertification so our credentials can withstand scrutiny from attorneys looking to discredit our witness. For those of you who are active investigators, the requirements are nothing but a restating of your active cases. Those of you who have not worked a case in the past three years will be required to do a case report on a topic of the CFL committee’s choosing. This is to show that you still have the skills to meet your credential. We always encourage forensic investigators to keep education upmost in their thoughts. WWW.ALOA.ORG t’s a big letdown for our members that SAFETECH in Reno was cancelled, but none of us want to travel until this COVID-19 pandemic is contained. We now look toward to Orlando this July for the ALOA Convention and pray to God that we have a handle on this stuff before it drives us all crazy. The ALOA convention in Orlando should be a new awakening for our industry. During the pandemic, online classes are an easy way to stay sharp and up to date on the latest techniques and procedures.
