Crime Scene Courtroom Testimony

14 Hours

This two-day course is designed specifically for the crime scene investigator who is frequently required to testify to their observations and actions at a crime scene as well as subsequent interpretation of their findings. This course will provide suggested guidelines in testifying as an expert witness in crime scene investigation. In addition to lecture, officers may be required to participate in a mock court trial. The knowledge gained through this experience will be applicable to future court testimonies. Crime scene specialists and detectives/investigators who process crime scenes will benefit from this course. Due to the hands-on nature of this course, enrollment will be restricted to 20 participants.
