| WHAT IS THE NCIAIA? The North Carolina Internal
Affairs Investigator's Association (NCIAIA) is composed of law enforcement officers and
police administrators throughout North Carolina, charged with the duty of maintaining
professional standards within their departments. some of the largest agencies in the state
are represented as well as departments consisting of just a few officers.
WHAT ARE ITS GOALS?
The NCIAIA is dedicated to establishing, maintaining, and developing professional
standards of performance and integrity for internal affairs investigators. Training is an
essential element of the association, and one of its greatest assets. The NCIAIA regularly
provides training which enhances professional growth and development; presents a forum for
discussion of common problems encountered by internal affairs investigators throughout the
state; and disseminates information relative to current court decisions, improved
technical practices, and progressive administrative procedures.
WHAT OTHER BENEFITS DOES THE NCIAIA OFFER?
One great benefit is the spirit of cooperation, and comradeship which is fostered
through the association. Men and women with mutual interests and similar challenges have
the opportunity to exchange ideas and share expertise in matters which are fairly unique
in the law enforcement community. Valuable resources are often made available through
acquaintances formed within the association, and as often as not, lasting friendships
develop.
Normally two one day training sessions are held annually, one in the eastern portion of
the state, the other in the western portion. Additionally, a three day training session is
usually conducted in the Spring of each year, which includes the association's annual
business conference.
WHO CAN JOIN THE NCIAIA?

charged with the responsibility of conducting or reviewing internal investigations are
eligible to apply for active membership.

and some retired police personnel are eligible to apply for membership as associate
non-voting members
