I am pleased to announce the formation of the Institute of Forensic Investigation (IFI). We are a non-profit trade association formed for the purpose of bringing together all of the stakeholders involved in the critical response industry in the pursuit of excellence.
Many of us involved in the critical response industry have found that a lack of cooperation between the public and the private sector, owners and insurers, support engineers and expert witnesses, lawyers, regulatory agencies and others result in prolonged, costly, and ineffective investigations.
IFI was formed to bring interested parties together to facilitate the training and education of the disparate disciplines that are involved in critical incidents. The objective is to ensure a high level of expertise and competency.
You are a key player in the catastrophic response industry. IFI will strive to create new standards and protocols for mutual cooperation. We ask you to join us in increasing the professionalism of our industry.
Sincerely,
DOUG FELL
President, IFI
