Crime Scene Technician Certificate Program (CSTCP)

The Criminal Justice Institute will again offer the Crime Scene Technician Certificate Program (CSTCP)—a series of six fundamental courses that introduce vital components of crime scene investigation.

 

Participants will be required to attend and successfully pass all six courses to receive their certificate. After successful completion of all six components, officers will have met the minimum requirements necessary for application for certification as a crime scene investigator through the International Association for Identification.

 

To participate in Session XIII of the Institute’s certificate program, an application letter must be submitted to Dr. Cheryl P. May from your Chief of Police, Sheriff, Department Head or Director. In this letter, he or she should indicate how your participation in this program will benefit your agency and state that he/she will support your attendance as well as ensure, to the best of their ability, your participation in all six courses. In addition, we require each department to provide its agency representative a minimum amount of photography equipment to ensure successful participation in the program.

 

Applications must be received at CJI by close of business on September 30, 2010. Acceptance letters along with the required acceptance forms will be sent to agency heads by October 15, 2010.

 

All six courses will be held at the Criminal Justice Institute. A graduation ceremony will also be held at the Criminal Justice Institute on Thursday, June 23, 2011.

 

 If you have any questions concerning the photography equipment requirement, please feel free to contact Mira Frosolono at (501) 570-8072.
