The Inter­na­tional Asso­ci­a­tion for Prop­erty and Evi­dence (IAPE) was cre­ated by and for law enforce­ment prop­erty and evi­dence pro­fes­sion­als to edu­cate and ser­vice the need for training. 

Lead­ing the way through education

Our goal is to pro­vide edu­ca­tion through train­ing on cur­rent issues that effect the prop­erty and evi­dence field. Train­ing on safety con­cerns, audits and inven­to­ries, pack­ag­ing, legal updates, and pro­ce­dure con­sid­er­a­tions to name a few topics. 

Inform­ing publications

The Inter­na­tional Asso­ci­a­tion for Prop­erty and Evi­dence mag­a­zine is the heart of our asso­ci­a­tion and train­ing infor­ma­tion. Our mag­a­zine is pub­lished on a quar­terly basis to keep you informed of devel­op­ments in the field. If unex­pected changes occur, newslet­ters will pro­vide you with updates on leg­is­la­tion, train­ing and news. 

Enhanc­ing professionalism

IAPE pro­motes pro­fes­sional devel­op­ment of law enforce­ment per­son­nel includ­ing exec­u­tives, man­age­ment, super­vi­sors, prop­erty and evi­dence han­dlers for advance­ment within the pro­fes­sion. The more knowl­edge you have, the more valu­able you become. Prop­erty per­son­nel inter­ested in stay­ing cur­rent pro­fes­sion­ally and con­tribut­ing toward growth are a wel­come asset to IAPE. 

Involv­ing you regionally

IAPE encour­ages the for­mu­la­tion of regional chap­ters, giv­ing you the oppor­tu­nity to get involved in the asso­ci­a­tions pol­icy mak­ing pro­grams at the local level. Local meet­ings may be held or a chap­ter formed in accor­dance with IAPE guide­lines. Each region has a locally elected board of direc­tors which admin­is­ter regional oper­a­tions and programs. 

Guide books

IAPE pro­duces yearly guide books on areas of spe­cial con­cern. The 1993 Guide Book (Blood­borne Pathogens) will be sent as part of the mem­ber­ship packet to each new or renew­ing IAPE member.
