-Excellent course and instructors. An absolute pleasure to
attend. I will continue to sign up for future courses and
recommend to others.
St. Joseph County Special Crimes Unit
-In thirty years, of taking police orientated classes I was
particularly impressed by this instruction. The material on
photographic lighting, digital photography, the concept of
digital images and the equipment available will be of great
help for our department in the near future. The instruction
and material was presented in a very pleasant, professional
and organized manner.

DIRECTIONS TO OUR NEW BUILDING
The Indiana Forensic Institute (IFI) was established on the Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus in June, 1995 in response to an increased worldwide concern with crime. Citizens and criminal justice officials strongly expressed a need for operational and technological advances in their fight against crime. Advances in forensic imaging technology were often cited as an important component that would be useful for investigations and in the courtroom.
Starting in 2001, IFI, became an independent 501 (c)(3) cooperation, moved to an off-campus location and developed a strategic alliance with the Indiana University School of Informatics. Over the years, IFI has collaborated with the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane, Indiana, the Hudson Institute and several Criminal Justice agencies. IFI courses are certified by the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.In the fall of 2008, IFI developed a close association with Wolf Technical Services, Inc., a forensic engineering company located in Indianapolis. Also, IFI, which teaches courses for the Purdue School of Science, and started a process to increase its portfolio from just imaging to a broad spectrum of forensic science disciplines. Accordingly, the name was changed from the Institute for Forensic Imaging to the Indiana Forensic Institute. Development of new offerings is now in progress.
The mission of The Indiana Forensic Institute is to help improve the effectiveness of the law-related investigations and trials through:
High-quality training and consulting which can expand and enhance investigators' capabilities assure more probative testimony in hearings and at trials.
Research and development activities, which lead to both publication of scholarly papers, books and manuals, as well as consultations and testing to improve the quality of practical devices
