Crime Scene Investigation for Educators focuses on developing a proper mind set as well as proper procedures, to prepare students with the fundamental elements of crime scene investigation. This five day course reviews the relationship of the type of crime to the type of the scene and the duties of first responders to maintain security and safety, recognize, document and collect evidence with practical hands-on learning through experimentation and physical evidence processing including latent print development. The course continues the procedures for collection and analysis of physical evidence, concentrating on the evidentiary significance of items commonly encountered at crime scenes that are not readily visible. Instruction includes the hands-on use of alternate light sources, and the use of photography using ALS.
