Message from AHIA President:
Paul Dalton - Phoenix Police Homicide Unit

Welcome to the Arizona Homicide Investigator's Association web site. I invite you to visit the various sections of this site to familiar yourselves with the association, its board members, upcoming training and how to become a member.

I would like to thank all of you for making 2011 a fantastic year! Due to your continued support of AHIA, we have been able to continue to strive for high-quality training at reduced rates or no cost to you, our members. We are aware that budget cuts are a major factor in determining your choices for training and your ability to attend.

Because of continuing budget cuts, this year we are "Paying it Forward" to AHIA Members. At our annual Board of Directors meeting in January, the board decided our members will receive not only the four FREE quarterly trainings, but as a bonus, we decided to add a fifth FREE training. We listened to our members regarding the types of training you wanted and this year we are planning:

Courtroom Preparation (February - Phoenix, AZ)

Officer-Involved Shooting Investigations (April/May - Chandler, AZ)

Blood Spatter Investigation (2 day) (June/July - Marana, AZ)

Crime Scene Photography (August - Prescott, AZ)

Cold Case Investigations (November - Tucson, AZ)

As always, we will be holding our annual AHIA Conference, which is scheduled for October 1-4, 2012, at the Orleans Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Vice-President Bill Hanson has already found your speakers and professional subject matter. One of the many highlights of the conference will be the Caylee Anthony Murder Investigation and the arrest of her mother, Casey Anthony.

As usual, we hope to have some free tuition to our members who cannot afford to attend. We will keep you advised, as we get closer to the event.

If you have any questions or training needs, please contact me personally or any of the board of directors. Please consider joining the association and furthering our efforts in homicide, death, and violent crime investigations.

Again, a sincere 'Thank You' to all of you!

Paul Dalton
AHIA President
