The primary goal of the Illinois Homicide Investigators Association (ILHIA) is to support law
enforcement officers and prosecutors by providing professional training, leadership, and resources essential
to solving homicide cases and criminal investigations. This two-day Conference will provide attendees with
main and breakout sessions that focus on some of the most crucial aspects of homicide and criminal investigations. Instructors from across the country with years of investigative experience will provide practical
information for those assigned to investigate homicides, violent crimes and other criminal offenses.

Anaconda. Author of “The Mission, the Men, and Me”, Commander Blaber will provide a presentation on
leadership, the will to succeed, and overcoming bureaucratic adversity. Following Commander Blaber’s
presentation,the ILHIA Awards and lunch, Tuesday afternoon will continue with Breakout Sessions and
