WHO WE ARE:
The International Association of Auto Theft Investigators (IAATI) was formed in 1952 in order to improve communication and coordination among the growing family of professional auto theft investigators. It has grown to over 3,000 members representing over 35 countries and includes representatives of law enforcement agencies, as well as many others with a legitimate interest in auto theft investigation, prevention and education. We recognize that, just as law enforcement agencies cannot successfully function independent of one another, auto theft investigation requires the active participation of the private sector; therefore, our membership also includes the insurance industry, automobile manufacturers, car rental companies and, of course, the National Insurance Crime Bureau and its sister agencies in Canada and Europe.
Our officers, executive board and various committee chairs are elected from the general membership and are professionals from all aspects of the auto theft investigative field.
In spite of the extent of the auto theft problem, many agencies are not able to maintain a fully supported auto theft investigative effort. IAATI, through its membership, can provide support and assistance to investigators whose resources may be otherwise limited.
TRAINING:
IAATI conducts an annual week-long training seminar offering the latest information on auto theft investigation, motor vehicle identification and current technology. In addition, we have regional chapters throughout the world that each offer annual training seminars on a more local level as well as assist with regional issues and problems. Members also have access to information pertaining to training that is offered by various agencies and organizations that are represented in IAATI, often on the local level.
