There is emphasis on scene documentation including proper video, photography and sketching techniques as well as preparation
of written reports. Prioritizing various examinations such as latent prints, biological evidence, trace evidence and
firearms are covered in detail. Emphasis is placed on proper collection and packaging techniques for items of physical
evidence as well as aspects of basic forensic examinations at the crime lab.
Advanced Crime Scenes: The Advanced Crime Scenes Course is designed for
more experienced crime scene technicians and detectives with particular emphasis on crimes of violence including: robbery,
rapes and death. Advanced forensic and crime lab techniques and understanding forensic reports is stressed. The
course also covers auditing crime scenes and an introduction to staged crime scenes.
Staged Crime Scenes: - This workshop details
Crime Scene Clues to Suspect Misdirection of the Investigation. The workshop goes beyond the limited areas of purposeful
staging or posing of a sexual homicide victim within a crime scene or where the perpetrator changes elements of the scene
to make a death appear to be suicide or accidental in order to cover up a murder. While these are certainly examples
of staged crime scenes, they do not adequately explain or define the full continuum of staged crime scenes. The workshop
sets out the nature of "staging" and offers additional definitions of these events, providing the investigator and
crime scene analyst with recognizable "red flags" that point to staging through both lecture and extensive use of
case studies.
