The International Association of Arson Investigators' (IAAI) Fire and Arson Investigation Training catalog provides a directory of training sources and detailed information about both educational opportunities and certification requirements.
Abstract
The catalog also offers a comprehensive bibliography of fire/arson investigation literature, the result of several database searches. The catalog was created in response to the need for a single document addressing issues relevant to fire and arson investigation training and professional improvement. The catalog has four sections: (1) a State-by- State listing of training opportunities, (2) an index of the training opportunities by primary topic, (3) policies and procedures of certification programs in fire investigation and related fields, and (4) the bibliography. Each section can stand alone as a separate document, but the sections are also designed to complement each other. Sample program descriptions and description of the methodology used to compile the listings.
