***Coming 2023 - Biological Evidence Recovery
Currently under development
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 different types of swabs, the different methodologies used in swabbing, and some of the challenges investigators might encounter when making collection decisions involving biological evidence and swabbing.

***Coming 2023 - Professional Ethics in Forensic Science
Currently under development
This course is designed to meet accreditation requirements for training in the application of ethical practices in forensic science. The training covers general ethics and morals and how that differs from professional ethics. Topics include what defines “good” ethics, considerations for professional ethics and scientific excellence in forensic science, how to establish and enforce a code of ethics, and runs through ethical scenarios that occur in day-to-day work as a forensic scientist. The training also explores real-world examples of bad professional ethics in Forensic Science and considers what ethical violations occurred in each.
