Evidence Collection Technician (IAAI-ECT®)

The Evidence Collection Technician Program verifies an applicant's fundamental knowledge as measured against core job performance requirements (JPR) of established professional qualifications standards and standard industry practices related to evidence collection on fire scenes. This measurement is not all-inclusive of the incorporated professional standards cited but lays the foundation for measuring the holder’s fundamental ability to perform specific evidence collection tasks related to fire scene investigation at an acceptable level as measured against published acceptable practices.

The applicant must provide documentation of meeting minimum requirements including experience, training, and education. After the application is approved, the applicant must then successfully pass a practical examination.

The IAAI-ECT designation must be renewed every five years. Please contact iaai-ect@firearson.com if you are interested in becoming an IAAI-ECT.
