- Evidence Recognition and Recovery
Basic Crime Scene Investigation focuses on developing a proper mind set as well as proper procedures, to prepare laboratory personnel and law enforcement officers with the fundamental elements of crime scene investigation. This four 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.
- Latent Evidence
Intermediate Crime Scene Investigation 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, transfer and trace evidence, forensic serology, and biological enhancement methods. (Prerequisite: Basic Crime Scene Investigation.)
- Crime Scene Analysis
Advanced Crime Scene Investigation focuses on specialized evidence and reconstruction of crime scenes. The emphasis is on the importance of scientific methods and techniques used in the examination of physical evidence at crime scenes. Practical applications reinforce classroom discussion of shooting reconstruction, bloodstain pattern analysis, and fire and arson scenes. Emphasis is on death scenes and case examples in reconstruction. (Prerequisite: Basic & Intermediate Crime Scene Investigation).
