IAMI's 35th Annual Training Seminar
Detalhes do Evento
Each year, the Association, in conjunction with its annual meeting, sponsors a three-day training seminar that is open to all members and to all interested law enforcement officers, insurance investigators, surveyors, and Coast Guard officials. These seminars normally cover the various aspects of marine theft and fraud, boating accidents, and very specific investigative techniques to assist investigators in their investigations.
Examples of topics normally covered:
- HIN formats: raising, tracing, and lifting HINs
- Trailer serial numbers, outboard and inboard serial numbers, and vessel identification numbers
- Bank and insurance fraud investigations
- Fire/arson investigations
- Updates on the status of NCIC 2000 and VIDS
- Updates on changes to Coast Guard regulations and policies.
IAMI also offers testing for two certifications: Certified Marine Investigator (CMI) and Certified Marine Fire Investigator (CMFI). To learn more about these programs, please read the information on the website and the qualifications.
