The CDAIA was formed to establish and maintain a closer relationship between investigators and investigative units of the District Attorney’s offices throughout California and the western United States. Members include District Attorney Investigators, peace officers, prosecutors, and other district attorney personnel involved in criminal and civil prosecution.
 
The CDAIA mission is to provide more effective communications between such offices and to develop ways and means of improving our effectiveness as investigators. Our efforts will hopefully promote better coordination between all law enforcement agencies and assist in developing a tighter bond between Investigators throughout California and the nation. Additionally, CDAIA is also actively involved in the promotion and/or opposition of legislation that we feel directly impacts our membership and the law enforcement community as a whole.
