SPOTLIGHT INVESTIGATIVE Meet Our IAIL Instructors Yankee has been able to move forward and build an even better event — well done! While here, I’ve been fortunate to speak with existing, new and prospective IAIL I members. As with ALOA itself, one of IAIL’s strongest foundations is education. This is an intricate and arcane field with important requirements for success. With an in- vestment in training, study and dedication, you can achieve the level of professionalism that it takes to join the ranks of professional forensic locksmithing. It can be a lucrative and rewarding field of endeavour. IAIL Instructors This month, I’d like to introduce you to the approved IAIL instructors.

In a new venue and city, even wish to get involved in IAIL profes- sional training, please let me or one of the instructors know. We want input! Registration for the SAFETECH con- vention will be available in early Janu- ary, so look for the class information in the brochure.

We’ll have classes at the ALOA Convention in Orlando as well. Clyde T.
