INVESTIGATIVE SPOTLIGHT Learn More With IAIL By Brian VanDenburgh investigation and electronic data stored in vehicles and on keys. We did a mock investigation on a 2019 Dodge Challenger, and we were able to identify the key’s electronic identification and compare to the information stored in the vehicle. We were also able to identify the VIN stored in 19 electronic module locations for comparison. The class was a success, and we gained several new members for IAIL. New classes continue April 4-9 at SAFETECH 2022 in Lexing- W ton, KY. Past IAIL President Tom Demont will be conducting a forensic safe investigation class, with James Ashley assisting. SAFETECH registration is opening up online soon, so look for the brochure PDF on SAVTA.org to learn more about all of the classes and events. Email [email protected] for questions. We’re also working on a class schedule for ALOA 2022 in Las Vegas in July. Additionally, we are exploring the possibility of holding a fall IAIL training conference.
