The primary purpose of this two-day program is to provide a
general overview of forensic evidence and how to properly
secure, protect, and process crime scenes for physical and
testimonial evidence. The appropriate actions of the first
responding officer, securing and protecting the scene,
establishing the dimensions of the scene, evaluating the crime
scene for physical evidence, crime scene documentation, proper
collection and packaging procedures, and new and innovative
processing techniques will be among the topics discussed.
Property crimes, sexual assaults, robberies, and death
investigations, including those involving the recovery of badly
decomposed or buried human remains will be covered. This course
will benefit patrol officers, investigators/detectives and new
crime scene specialists. Enrollment in this course will be
restricted to 40 participants.
