40 Hours
This five-day course will include lecture and case history
presentation, experiments, mock crime scene evaluations,
photography, and documentation for bloodstain pattern evidence.
Hands-on experiments will be used to demonstrate the mechanics
of actual pattern formation and typical pattern characteristics
used in interpretation. Mock crime scenes will be employed to
assess each participant’s skill in using documentation
techniques, biohazard precautions, crime scene control, and
interpreting bloodstain patterns. Course length and experiments
will meet the membership requirements for the International
Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts (IABPA). Enrollment
is limited to 20 participants.
