International Homicide Investigators Association retweeted
Every day, investigators worldwide work to bring justice to #victims of violent crime. Recently, in New Orleans, CIRG’s Behavioral Analysis Unit stood with them at the 2026 @ihiaorg Conference. From new cases to active investigations to decades‑old cold files, BAU shared its expertise, strengthened #partnerships, and highlighted how behavioral science drives complex casework.
The team also showcased ViCAP, America’s only centralized violent #crime database, helping investigators spot patterns, link offenders, and advance cases. Stronger partnerships. Smarter tools. A shared commitment to justice. This is #YourFBI’s Critical Incident Response Group — working to make America safer and helping investigators worldwide tackle violent crime, together. #ProtectAndServe #Priorities #PublicSafety #FBI
