Dear OIOA Members,
As we move through the heart of summer, I want to take a moment to extend my appreciation to each of you for your continued dedication to the field of forensic identification and your commitment to the mission of the Ohio Identification Officer’s Association.
This past year, our organization has made great strides—in advancing training opportunities, strengthening partnerships across jurisdictions, and maintaining the highest standards in forensic practice. Whether you’re in the lab, in the field, or behind the scenes, your work is critical to public safety and the pursuit of justice throughout Ohio.
Summer is also a time for reflection and renewal. I encourage you to take advantage of the slower pace to invest in your professional development, connect with fellow members, and prepare for the opportunities ahead. We are hard at work planning our annual conference, which promises to deliver timely topics, expert instruction, and valuable networking for all attendees.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your president. I’m honored to stand with such a skilled and dedicated community of professionals. Together, we continue to uphold the integrity of our field and the values that define the OIOA.
Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your summer.
In service,
Dan Boerner
President
Ohio Identification Officer’s Association

2025 Newly elected OIO Board member - Victoria Longstreth, Franklin County Sheriff's Office
