About IAATI

What is IAATI?

The International Association of Auto Theft Investigators (IAATI) was formed in the United States in 1952 in order to improve communication and coordination among professional auto theft investigators.

It has grown to over 3,671 members representing over 52 countries and includes representatives of law enforcement agencies, as well as many others with a legitimate interest in auto theft investigation, prevention and education. More information can be found at www.iaati.org.

IAATI recognises that our most effective weapon to combat the crime of auto theft is cooperation. IAATI has actively pursued this by providing its members with an array of experience, training and resources in areas such as technical developments, trends, intelligence information and investigative assistance. Through IAATI we are able to pool our resources in order to achieve our common interests, and better serve our communities.

IAATI is dedicated to developing and encouraging the highest professional standards of conduct among auto theft investigators, while providing an infrastructure for those dedicated individuals to broaden their knowledge and develop the crucial business networks with local and international colleagues.

IAATI consists of five US based chapters and four international branches including the Australasian Branch. Visit the web sites of the chapters and branches by using the links below.

Branch Website Policies

Pricing Policy

As IAATI is a not-for-profit organisation or membership and seminar registration fees are kept as low as possible to encourage as many members as possible to participate in our events. Because our fees are as low as possible we are not able to offer group discounts. However, the Branch is required to guarantee the venue a minimum number of delegates prior to the seminar, therefore discounted early bird registration rates will generally be offered to members who register early.

When registering for IAATI training seminars the registration fee includes only the cost of training, and catering as specified on the registration form. While IAATI does endeavour to secure discounted accommodation rates with the host venue, delegates are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements.

All of our prices are in Australian dollars (AUD) and include GST (Goods and services tax) where applicable.

If you are making a credit card payment from a country outside Australia, for security reasons you must first advise your banking institution of the impending charge and authorise them to allow the charge from Australia to go through. Allow up to 48 hours (this is due to the time difference between our countries).
