This course is designed to educate officers in the proper techniques used at crime scenes to identify, document, collect, and preserve bodily fluids and bloodstain pattern evidence. Chemical processing used to enhance blood impression evidence will also be included. Officers will be required to photograph all results and will also be assessed in their ability to identify, document, and collect trace evidence (hairs, fibers, soil, safe insulation, etc.) using appropriate techniques. Photograph evaluations as well as written and practical examinations will be conducted.
