About VHIA
About us
The Virginia Homicide Investigators Association (VHIA) is a non-profit association that provides a forum to discuss and exchange information related to homicide case management and operational strategy, as well as the latest advancements in forensic science and laboratory technologies. The VHIA provides training in the form of seminars and conferences and instructional courses for detectives, investigators, crime scene personnel and other criminal justice professionals involved in death investigations. We are a member of the International Homicide Investigators Association and partner with the Southeast Homicide Investigators Association and the Mid-Atlantic Cold Case Homicide Investigators Association.
Our History
VHIA was founded in 1993 by a group of dedicated homicide detectives to establish esprit de corps among criminal justice professionals within the Commonwealth of Virginia and nationally relating to death investigations. The primary goal of VHIA is to connect law enforcement professionals together to share their knowledge and to provide advanced training to law enforcement officers, attorneys, medical investigators and anyone who is involved in death investigations.
Our board
Our board at VHIA is made up of current and former law enforcement officers throughout Virginia, who are considered experts in their field. Together, they possess decades of law enforcement experience and knowledge, which is shared with all who attend the annual VHIA Conference.
"MAYHEM" IS HERE

The theme for this year is "mayhem." That's right, just think the Allstate commercials! If you know of a case that you believe would be defined as "mayhem" and would like to see it presented at this year's conference, please email us at:
