We encourage all IAATI delegates to stay on for this networking session.

4 17 26 th Annual Training Seminar, Page 24 About IAATI The International Association of Auto Theft Investigators (I.A.A.T.I.) is a non-profit organisation established in America in Membership is made up of representatives from police services (investigators, analysts, and forensic staff), insurers, private investigators, vehicle registration authorities, vehicle manufacturers and others with a legitimate interest in vehicle theft investigation, prevention and education. It has approximately 3,600 members in 71 countries. The Australasian Branch of IAATI was established in 1993 when a group of far sighted and dedicated vehicle theft investigators met in Canberra to commit their time on a voluntary basis to establish a forum for like-minded individuals. Their aim was to increase each other s skills and knowledge by sharing information and establishing a network of colleagues that could assist when needed. During the last 26 years we have seen the: rise and fall of specialist motor vehicle investigative units within Police Services; increased focus by registration authorities and the establishment and further refinement of written off vehicle registers and inspection programs; establishment of state based and more recently a national vehicle encumbrance registers; establishment of the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council; introduction and refinement of engine immobilisers; introduction of microdots and self-voiding labels to assist in component identification, changes by manufacturers in the method of application and location of primary and secondary identifiers; use of automated number plate reading technology; use of keyless entry systems; increased use of internet and mobile communication systems by both offenders and investigators; rise of new ethnic based offender groups; increased export of stolen vehicles and parts; rise and fall of scrap metal prices and the corresponding targeting of older vehicles; increased focus of offenders on light commercial and 4WD vehicles; increased use of technology and identity fraud; and increased sophistication in fraudulent theft, accident and injury claims. Over this time a professional car thief s toolkit has evolved from a basic screwdriver to a handheld electronic diagnosis tool to interrogate the vehicle s entire computer and security systems and the use of computers to create false identities or to provide an avenue for selling of the vehicle. As a result investigators also have needed to update their tools, skills and knowledge, and this is where IAATI has played an important role. Throughout the last 26 years IAATI s Australasian Branch has been the peak body providing relevant and high quality training throughout Australian and New Zealand. Our branch seminars have helped train and educate thousands of investigators and motor crime specialists and this year s 26 th Annual Training Seminar will be no exception. Who should attend IAATI seminars Police investigators, intelligence analysts and scientific staff Insurance - fraud & investigation staff, claims & underwriting Managers, Intelligence analysts Private investigators Vehicle registration authorities - Inspectors and policy makers Motor Trades Policy makers Vehicle Manufacturers Forensic Locksmiths Crime prevention and fraud specialists Academics and researchers

Nick Mayell - Police Liaison and Training Officer, Datatag Ltd. (UK) Nick is a well-known name in equipment security and police circles. He left school at the age of 16 and secured a position as an apprentice heavy vehicle mechanic with a local plant and truck company. He later went on to manage a hire company which is when he became brutally aware of the financial repercussions of heavy equipment theft. As more and more of his equipment became subjected to theft, he took it upon himself to trace and recover his own machines. Such was his success, insurance and finance companies continued to use his investigative skills to help locate their own assets. In 1994 Nick was employed by a specialist heavy equipment investigation company in the UK and worked on many high profile cases, including one case which led to the recovery of 86 stolen machines. In 2011 he left to set up Plant Theft Consultancy. Nick s services are currently secured by the UK s leading asset marking and registration company, Datatag ID Ltd, who are the administrators the CESAR scheme. In his role with Datatag Nick works directly with the police, crime prevention organisations and the insurance and asset finance industries to raise the level of awareness and increase the level of detection of vehicle enabled crime. Nick present special training courses to disseminate proven vehicle identification techniques for traffic police, as well as advanced courses for specialist vehicle examiners and training to insurance underwriters and claims officers, asset finance underwriters and fraud investigators. Nick is a qualified trainer who regularly runs courses through the UK and Europe including for Interpol s Formatrain project and IAATI. His heavy equipment course is internationally recognised and accredited at level 3. He also runs a level 3 accredited courses in forensic vehicle VIN recovery, using both chemical and thermal techniques. If you attended last year training seminar you will definite remember Nick s very informative and engaging classes. We received a strong demand from our members for more training from Nick, and Interpol have arranged for him to return again in 2019 with a new class on Plant and Equipment theft issues.
