PRESIDENT: Gary Brannen
As President of the Florida Division of the
International Association for Identification I
welcome you to our official website. Please take
time to see all of what our website has to offer. It
is full of interesting information about the FDIAI
and links to other forensic sites.
The FDIAI is the finest group of people I have ever
been associated with in my nearly 30 year career in
law enforcement. With over 900 members the Florida
Division is the largest division of the IAI. This
website reflects the pride our members take in this
organization and the work they are involved in. The
jobs we do and the results we obtain are sometimes
the only way justice is served. Through membership
in organizations such as the IAI and FDIAI we hone
our skills through training and networking with
other likeminded professionals.
I encourage each member to strive to increase their
skills in the field of forensic science. I also
would challenge those of us who have been in this
profession more years than we would like to admit,
to mentor those who are going to be taking our
places one day soon. We all have opportunities to
teach and encourage almost daily. To not do so is a
disservice to those we serve, to those we should
teach and encourage and to ourselves.
I further encourage each of you to consider
attending the Florida Division’s Annual Training
Conference being held this year at the Edgewater
Beach Resort in beautiful Panama City Beach. The
training, exhibits and social events are second to
none in the field of forensics. The conference is
second in size and attendance only to the IAI Annual
Conference. The value received for the cost is
extraordinary. The conference and educational
program planners work very hard to ensure the
success of the conference.
I look forward to serving as your President in 2008.
Being elected to that post is the greatest honor I
have ever received. If I can assist you in anyway,
please call upon me.
In closing I plead with you take full advantage of
what the Florida Division has to offer. If not a
member, please join today. Remember our commitment
to victims of crime deserve our best everyday.
