Promoting quality homicide investigations within the state of North Carolina.

Message from NCHIA President:
John Wiggins - North Carolina Justice Academy
Welcome to the North Carolina Homicide Investigators Association website. I encourage you to visit the different sections of this site to learn about how and why this association was formed as well as what we do, who the board members are and what you can do to become involved in the association.

 

NCHIA GOALS

  • To provide homicide investigators an opportunity to exchange information relative to homicide investigations and to encourage such exchange of information.

  • To support and encourage regular training sessions, workshops and special investigative seminars.

  • To establish a repository for information relating to current and unsolved homicides within the state of North Carolina and to disseminate such information through regular group meetings and publications.

  • To establish a network for other law enforcement agencies across the United States to access information.

  • Through the training, communication, support and encouragement of the association’s membership, promote quality homicide investigations within the state of North Carolina.

     

 

 

 


From the Association

The NCHIA Spring Conference was held at the Best Western in Banner Elk March 23-25, 2010. It was well attended considering the state of the economy and the budget cuts which all Departments are dealing with. On Wednesday, SBI ASAC Suzi Barker gave a very informative update on DNA technology. SBI ASAC Duane Deaver and ME Mike Conwell gave a presentation on helium related deaths. Investigator Randy Horton with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Department gave an excellent presentation on a very difficult rape case which he investigated. Detective Robert LaTour of the Raleigh Police Department gave a presentation on lessons learned in a complex investigation. Thursday was taken up with Dr. Isaac Van Patten’s excellent presentation on cognitive interview techniques. All in all another excellent program organized by John Wiggins and the Board of Directors.
Due to the fact that many of you are now paying your membership through your conference fees, we will shortly be going through the membership roster and highlighting those of you whose memberships have expired. Please check the roster, and it your name is in red, please renew your membership. The Association is no different than any other Department or business right now: we need income to be able to continue to presenting the kind of outstanding training as was presented at the Spring conference.
