“The National Technical Investigators' Association is a non-profit law enforcement educational association. The purpose of NATIA is to further knowledge, develop skills and promote fellowship between law enforcement and intelligence professionals who support their agencies' technical surveillance, tactical operations, and forensic activities. NATIA is composed of over 4,000 law enforcement, intelligence officers, and support staff, who provide the technical operations, surveillance activities, and scientific support for hundreds of federal, state, and local agencies across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Each year we play host to a growing number of representatives from foreign law enforcement agencies. This is accomplished through a blend of regional and national programs. We hold both regional meetings and an annual national conference where we provide training in new technologies, discuss major developments, conduct workshops, and sponsor a technology exhibition.”
