Texas Division of the International Association for Identification |
Welcome to the Texas Division of the IAI The Texas Division of the International Association for Identification was chartered in 1935 as a professional organization for crime scene analysts, latent print examiners, evidence technicians, forensic scientists, and law enforcement personnel. Our membership is comprised of practitioners from independent school districts; academia; medical examiner's offices; private industries; and local, county, state and federal agencies. While the TDIAI is 501(c)(6) non-profit professional organization created to represent the interests and needs of forensic professionals throughout the great State of Texas, in 2021, the TDIAI Foundation was formed as a 501(c)(3) public charity to make forensic education, training, and research more accessible and affordable to all in Texas. |
We are excited to invite you to participate in a state wide pay study for our members. This is a quick survey that will allow us to better understand the pay scales in forensic science.
By completing this survey, it will allow us to formulate the results into a usable format that you can utilize to boost your negotiation power and career growth.
Once the survey is complete, the results will be shared with our membership. It should be noted that completing the survey thoroughly is crucial to enable us to have accurate data.
Questions may be submitted to Secretary@TDIAI.ORG
