This course qualifies for 8 hours of IAI crime scene recertification training credit.
The collection of biological evidence can sometimes be more complicated than it appears. The “just swab it” mindset is not as clear and concise as one might think. This interactive course explores the types of evidence we swab, swabbing materials, the different methodologies used in swabbing, swabbing on crime scenes, swabbing evidence, working with your forensic laboratory, understanding DNA analysis results and answering questions in court.

This 8/24- hours course is entirely dedicated on how documenting and processing major sexual assault crime scenes, including searching and processing evidence for the presence of biological fluid. The use of forensic light source for the detection of body fluids, evidence packaging, chain-of-custody concerns, and victim injury photos documentation will be as well discussed.

*** Coming 2024 - Documentation of Blood Evidence
Currently under development
This course will discuss various ways to locate, enhance and document blood evidence on crime scenes and on items of evidence. We will cover techniques such as ALS, infrared photography, chemical processing techniques (Bluestar and Leuco Crystal Violet) and presumptive tests. We will discuss the existing guidelines for bloodstain pattern analysis (categorization), which allows for a general understanding of how blood stains are deposited. We will explain documentation techniques such as low light photography (to capture the glow of Bluestar) and comparative/to scale photography (to document blood stains on scene). The course will provide examples of these techniques utilized at crime scenes. Blood stains can be intimidating because of the complexity in their interpretation. However, with a general knowledge of blood stains and proper documentation techniques, the investigator can feel confident that the evidence can be reviewed later if expert analysis is required. This course will be beneficial for any detective or practitioner documenting crime scenes and crime evidence.

This course will provide an introduction to forensic photography, including the basic
operations of a digital camera and the application of photography practices to crime scene
documentation. The basic operations of a camera would include aperture, depth of field,
exposure triangle, ISO, F-stop, and other operations. Crime scene documentation includes
training in overall, midrange, and close up photography, videography, photo composition,
photographing with scale, day and night photography, photography of vehicles, residences, and
best practices in forensic photography. This course would provide a strong foundation for
incoming crime scene investigators and medical examiner investigators.
