The Iowa Death Investigators Association (IDIA) is a professional organization dedicated to providing high quality training in the fields associated with death investigations and promoting relationships between the persons working in various disciplines who conduct these investigations.

The association provides training in the fields of homicide investigation, death investigation, evidence collection, prosecution, victim services, as well as other closely related fields. The association encourages the ongoing development of progressive training for death investigators and members of related disciplines to ensure the continuing improvement of effectiveness in the field.

The IDIA advocates effective relationships between investigators and members of related disciplines for the purpose of improving the team approach to cases to assure that offenders procure the maximum measure of the law and victims receive the highest level of service and sensitivity.

The IDIA is governed by a nine member board of directors who are elected every two years by the active members. Membership is limited to sworn law enforcement personnel, civilian employees of law enforcement agencies whose duties relate to death investigations, retired law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, medical examiners, and medical examiner investigators.
