The Vidocq Society is a closed membership organization, which means you cannot request membership to this organization. Membership is by invitation only. Nominations for a Special Membership can only be referred to the Board of Directors by a current Full Member in good standing and then seconded by another Full Member. Such a nomination must be accompanied by a completed application form and an annual dues payment, the latter to be returned if the applicant is not approved. The nominee must have attained the age of majority, be of exemplary character, possess a forensic skill or other skill which might contribute to furthering the Society’s mission and a demonstrated commitment to solving cold case homicides.
