Who We Are
GPSFIA

about GPSFIA:

The goal of the Georgia Public Safety Fire Investigator’s Association is to promote the free exchange of intelligence and information sharing among fire, police, and other public safety fire investigators.  

The GPSFIA will encourage through training and education the development of new laws, codes, and policies that will aid public fire investigators in the arrest and prosecution of individuals suspected of committing arson crimes.

Also the GPSFIA seeks to promote the development of fire and arson prevention programs, proper fire investigation of fire related incidents, and applying other related investigative techniques through progressive programs of education, public relations, research and investigator certification.
