INVESTIGATIVE SPOTLIGHT headquartered in Canada. Our Director at Large Hans Mejlshede, CML, CFL, covers Denmark and Western Europe. The rest of our directors are covering the United States: Scott Paulhus, CRL, in Rhode Is- land; Tom Ware, CML, CPS, CFL, in New Jersey; Brian VanDenburgh, CAL, CFL, in Indiana; Rick Shuford, CRL, CFL, in North Carolina; and I, as your president, kind of fill in as needed. I’d like for you to submit some ar- ticles for publishing so our colleagues can read some of the interesting cas- es we’ve had to deal with over our ca- reers as investigative locksmiths. It goes without saying that what you submit will be similar to but not actually the case you worked. We don’t want to vi- olate ethics or create a situation that would produce problems. As everyone gets ready to enjoy spending IAIL Updates Tom Resciniti Demont, division president, provides the latest in IAIL news. I received a number of positive responses to having a forensics conference at the Aaron M. Fish Security Training Center at ALOA headquarters in Dallas, TX, in the fall of 2018. As I explained, you’ll be able to take all of the required courses over a three-day period and sit for the CFL exam. Find the requirements to sit for the exam on the ALOA website by clicking on the IAIL tab and then searching for CFL information. If you are having problems, contact me directly, and I will help you. Just remember: You must be a member of IAIL for one full year before you can sit for the exam. So, pay your $50 IAIL dues along with your ALOA/SAVTA dues, and you’ll be good to go. If you have a CV and would like to submit it so you can be listed as an expert wit- ness with IAIL, please send it directly to me. If you’re already a CFL, please submit an updated CV to help us keep your file up to date. Here are a few tidbits on the International Association of Investigative Locksmiths (IAIL).
