About Us |
OATIA officially started in 1981 when a
group of law enforcement officers and insurance company investigators
organized to provide an association for those professionals who
investigate auto theft related crimes and insurance claims.
Our goal is to provide free or low cost
professional training and enhance communication efforts between all
members. Our officers and board of directors are elected every two
years by the active membership and are professionals from all aspects of
the auto theft investigation field.
Membership in the organization is
limited to those professionals in the field of auto theft investigation
and prevention.

Organization
Goals |
|
Much like the International Association of
Auto Theft Investigators, OATIA's most effective weapon to combat the
crime of auto theft is cooperation and training. Through quarterly
meetings OATIA's members receive training and resources that is on the
cutting edge of technology, trends in auto theft are reviewed on local
and statewide impacts.
Through meetings like these, members
become acquainted with each other around the State of Ohio and our
border states. Through OATIA we are able to pool our resources in order
to achieve our common interests and better serve our communities.
