BASIC CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION: AN INTENSIVE FIVE-DAY SEMINAR
December 8-12, 2008
Working a crime scene, whether minor or major is a process that involves a wide range of specialized skills. This program was developed for new officers with limited exposure and experience in crime scene processing as well as for veteran personnel who wish to attend an overall refresher seminar. The program will demonstrate some techniques that attendees might have acquired and assist in the development of new ones which they may not be aware of in crime scene examinations. Forensic science is forever changing and new techniques and equipment are being developed to assist law enforcement officers with the challenges of understanding the importance of doing everything correct at the crime scene the first time and always striving for perfection.

Course topics include: Crime Scene Safety; Equipment Needs; Scene Security; Photography; Search Techniques;
Note Taking; General Documentation of Physical Evidence; Sketching; Measurements; Biological Evidence Detection and Collection; Trace Evidence; Latent Impression Evidence, Shoe and Tire Track Evidence; Firearms Evidence; Proper Evidence Packaging Techniques; Report Writing, Mock Crime Scenes; and Court Room Testimony

This program has been approved by the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commission for 32.50 In-Service Hours for Police and Corrections Personnel.
