Forensic Scientists Elect Marilyn Nault

A King County police civilian supervisor has become the first woman ever elected an officer in the International Association for Identification, a worldwide organization of professionals working with forensic sciences in law enforcement.

Marilyn Nault of Woodinville, manager of the county Police Department's automated fingerprint identification system, was elected fourth vice president of the IAI at its annual conference in Nashville, Tenn. earlier this month and will become president of the organization in 1994. At 38, she is the youngest member to hold a board position.

Nault, a graduate of Washington State University, has worked for the county Police Department for almost 13 years. She also teaches fingerprint identification courses for the State Law Enforcement Training Commission.
