The Illinois Association of Technical Accident Investigators was born after several members of the Illinois State Police completed their training in traffic crash reconstruction. They saw the need for a way to share information, experiences and grow as Accident Investigators. Since 1986, IATAI has held annual training conferences throughout the State of Illinois. These conferences serve to bring valuable training from across the country into Illinois. Our membership reaches out to 26 states in both the public and private sector
