The mission of this association is to provide educational seminars to members of the law enforcement community, to disseminate useful information related to all the disciplines of the forensic sciences, to provide local administration in the state of Wisconsin for the international professional certification programs of the International Association for Identification, and to encourage the highest ethical standards in the collection, preservation, and examination of evidence.
To carry out our mission, the association has a large pool of active members representing several forensic disciplines to include, but not limited to, AFIS, audio enhancement, bloodstain pattern interpretation, crime scene processing, criminal information technology, footwear identification, forensic art, forensic imaging, forensic odontology, latent prints (fingerprints, palm prints, and footprints), police photography, and tire track identification. These active members are speakers at our annual educational seminar, write professional articles for our quarterly newsletter, serve as technical advisors on the association's science and practice committee, and write professional tips for the tips page of this web site.

Welcome to the website of the W.A.I.; the Wisconsin Association of Identification. We are a chartered division of the International Association of Identification.
 Today, I have the opportunity to introduce myself to the wide world web with the Wisconsin Association of Identification. My name is Marie Burgette Bach, your current President. I have been involved with the Association since 2001 with positions on the WAI Board from 2003 to the present. I have been employed in Law Enforcement since 1989 and find the Forensic field exciting and challenging. I will continue to work in the direction and endeavors of the Association and Board with your support.
Each year, after the General Membership meeting the President has the opportunity to re-evaluate the committees. If you are interested in a group or topic that is listed within the website and want to begin taking part of this organization, send me an email with your interest. Any member can be a part of the committees.
I want to let you know that I will be available throughout the year and will answer your questions or concerns. I am available both by Internet as a link within the WAI website, my work email and the traditional phone system. Please do not hesitate...mburgettebach@cityofmadison.com or
(608) 266-4997 daytime hours.
I have had the opportunity to work many hours alongside our professional associates and friends in this organization, finding we have much in common. How better to connect to give us inspiration and techniques that make our work fulfilling and prosperous. We can find solutions to difficult cases by working as a team with the end result of gaining court convictions. I hope the 2009 Spring WAI Conference held in Appleton gave you the training and information you need to continue the hard work that you do. We are looking forward to the coming 2010 WAI Conference in Stevens Point for those important professional connections and training. If you have suggestions on training topics, please let me know.
May you find time to enjoy the approaching warm weather with your families as we move into the "busy" season.
Inv. Marie Burgette - Bach
