The object of this organization is to advance the professional interests and promote the individual and collective welfare of its members, through education, social interaction, association and cooperation, so that we may be better prepared to carry out those duties prescribed for our profession.

VAISS members meet regularly for trainings on topics like computer forensics, social media, ethics, witness interviews, evidence gathering, and surveillance.

We work together to advocate for PIs throughout Vermont on issues that affect our profession, such as access to public records and fair pay for public defender work.
