Crime Scene Investigation 2 Course (40 Hours)

Course Content

This course is the second of two courses, where the original two week 80 hour Crime Scene Investigation Course is broken down into two separate courses.  The course will follow the format of the book the Complete Crime Scene Investigation Handbook.  The Handbook is divided into 6 Sections, Introduction, Documentation, Locating Evidence, Types of Evidence, Special Considerations and Putting it all Together.  This course will essentially begin where the Crime Scene Investigation 1 course left off with which begins with instruction on Locating Evidence, which includes

• Alternate Light Source
• Presumptive Tests and Chemical Enhancements

The attendees will then take the instruction from Section 2 and learn the various methods to specifically identify, document, collect and process the following types of evidence:

• Footwear and Tire Impression Evidence
• Digital Evidence
• Injury Documentation

The attendees will then learn the documentation of evidence that may not always present at all crime scenes, however may encounter from time to time.  These various special considerations include:

• Shooting Scene Documentation
• Bloodstain Documentation
• Clandestine Graves and Scattered Human Remains
• Fire Scenes
• Questioned Document Evidence

The attendees will wind down the training with review lectures on the processing methodology and report writing.  The attendees will then have an opportunity to put their knowledge to work by processing a mock crime scene.
