Announcing - 2011 IACA Bulletin and Analytical Product Contest Winners!

Each year, the IACA holds a contest for members to submit their fabulous analytical products for a chance to win! These are products that they’ve prepared in the course of the year which have been distributed within their respective agencies to assist in or in support of an investigation. The official announcements were made on site during the annual training conference which was held this year in Hyannis, MA. This is a follow-up notice to inform our entire membership body of the exciting results.

First, a huge thanks to all who participated in the 2011 IACA Bulletin and Analytical Products Contest! If you were not a winner this time, try again next year as there were some very outstanding product submissions.

This year’s products were judged by the following panel of judges: Stacie Snow, Ventura County SD (CA), Shefali Tripathi, Gainesville PD (FL) and Mary Bertuccelli, Scottsdale PD (AZ). It is important to note that if anyone entering the contest was from a judges respective agency, the judge was removed from judging that category and Albert Mesa, Ventura County SD (Interim Awards Committee Chair) stepped in as the alternate judge. Tiana Antul, Worchester PD (MA) was our conference committee liaison and assisted on site. Thank you so much everyone, for your contribution to this event!
