National Association of Forensic Video

"Because the camera has no opinion."

Welcome to the National Association of Forensic Video.

The National Association of Forensic Video is a community organization* serving the interests of professional videographers and investigators involved in the field of Forensic Video -- encompassing: Video Depositions; Law Office and Courtroom Video; Crime Scene & Incident Documentation; Government, Law Enforcement, Private Security, and Licensed Private Investigation; Insurance Investigation; Surveillance; Audio Enhancement; Video Enhancement; Visual Anthropology; and other non-theatrical applications of video and audio recording.

The National Association of Forensic Video serves as a source for networking, information gathering, education & training, professional certification, peer recognition, and discount on-line purchasing of equipment and software.

*NOTE: Due to a lack of membership $$$, we had to officially dissolve the corporation (National Association of Forensic Video, Inc.) after our first year. However, the Association still exists in name and mission; the administrative aspects are handled "pro bono" by Fred Ginsburg's real company, Equipment Emporium Inc. with support from sustainers like K-Tek and Sign Video. We invite your participation, editorial contributions, and general support in our endeavor.
