2020 Annual Seminar Cancelled
After careful consideration and extensive discussion, the Officers and Board of Directors have decided to cancel our 2020 Annual Training Conference due to concerns associated with the COVID-19 virus. Those who pre-registered will receive refunds ASAP. We sincerely regret having to cancel, but strongly feel that it is in the best interest of TACA and our membership to do this in light of the uncertainties that lie ahead and the impact they bring.
We would like to encourage you to join/renew your TACA membership by visiting http://tnarson.org. All annual memberships expire May 31, so renew/join today.
We also need you to participate in the 2020 TACA Gun Raffle Fundraiser. Proceeds from this raffle help us fund the Tennessee Arson Hotline program and are vital. Tickets can be purchased from any officer or board members and are only $10. The drawing will take place on April 30th as planned and will be live-streamed. Please visit our Facebook page for additional information.
Stay safe, stay informed, and God bless!

Behavior Analysis and Interviewing Techniques (B.A.I.T.) is a process of effective criminal recognition, investigative interviewing, and an essential interrogation format in information extraction. Everyone wants a better grasp of behaviors. It is the cornerstone of the profession. Every investigator will conduct an interview with each encounter. B.A.I.T. is a requirement to develop enhanced skills so attendees are more efficient, effective, and observant. As part of our comprehensive curriculum, B.A.I.T. stresses issues and develops skills of safety, behavioral, and verbal response recognition.
STATEMENT ANALYSIS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT (S.A.L.E.) (and for the fire investigator)
Statement Analysis for Law Enforcement (S.A.L.E.) is the second mandatory process of our investigative strategy. It covers the classic methods of deception detection for every form of communication.

We know it will expand your questioning ability to a level never achieved. Learning to analyze a narrative is a required and invaluable skill.
