The intent of this petition is to express interest in a potential new IAI Certification in Shooting Incident Reconstruction. In order to receive approval for a new certification, an appropriate interest level must be shown. By signing this petition, you are indicting your interest in a potential certification in Shooting Incident Reconstruction, should one be offered. This petition does not grant certification, does not guarantee that a certification program will be approved, or act as an application for certification.

The IAI formerly offered a certification in Crime Scene Reconstruction, however that certification program was cancelled and has not been reinstated. There is currently a certification for bloodstain pattern analysis, however there is no certification option (via the IAI or elsewhere) for Shooting Incident Reconstruction. The author of this petition believes that such a certification is necessary and will benefit the forensic community.

We, the undersigned, are interested in such a certification and would be interested in seeking certification in Shooting Incident Reconstruction should it be offered by the International Association for Identification.
