Forensic Mapping with PocketZone
Forensic Mapping with PocketZone
April 23-27, 2012 at the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science, Room 101
$695.00
This five-day, 40-hour course taught by a Professional Society of Forensic Mapping (PSFM) approved instructor teaches the field investigator the skills necessary to put this effective system into use as simply as possible whether it's a crime scene or collision scene. The course starts with the background and theory behind the Forensic Mapping System. This will allow attendees to provide foundational testimony to ensure their scale diagrams are admitted as evidence.
In addition to mapping roadway and interior scenes, attendees will get an introduction to mapping vehicle damage profiles and crush using the total station. Attendees will also learn how to move the instrument from one reference point (RP) to another.
Each day will end with attendees going through the “download” process to get their scene from PocketZone into CrashZone or CrimeZone diagramming software.
