Welcome to the website of the W.A.I.; the Wisconsin Association for Identification.  We are a chartered division of the International Association for Identification.
My name is Charles Wysocky, your current president.  I have been employed in law enforcement for over 30 years, working for the City of Altoona.  During this career I have taken every chance to center my studies and yearly training around the forensic field.  I have been an evidence technician for the majority of this time and in recent years started teaching for Chippewa Valley Technical College and Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College. 
In 2001 I joined the WAI at the suggestion of a fellow student at a specialized training in Shawano.  I have been very impressed with the people who were officer and on the board at that time.  My interest was sparked to move that direction and become more involved, so in 2003 I was lucky enough to be elected on the board and have held positions since.
In the past year I have had more than one occasion to contact a fellow WAI Member and request their assistance with a case that I was working or I was contacted to assist in a case they were working.  With budgets and the economy in the current state it is the more we can assist each other in our common goal the better chance we have in completing our mission.
Our upcoming year will be a busy and exciting one with our preparation for the 2011 IAI Conference in Milwaukee, WI from August 7-11, 2011.  I hope that the committee choices I have made with lead us toward a successful welcome for this conference.  If you would like to be on one of the committees or you will be able to assist with any tasks in preparation of this conference please feel free to contact me or one of the IAI Conference Committee Members.
It is my goal to provide assistance and be available to assist any member to the best of my ability.  With that in mind you can contact me at charlesw@ci.altoona.wi.us  or 715-839-6090(office).
