COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This comprehensive four day course is designed for crime scene investigators,
detectives, crime laboratory analysts and others in the field of forensic
science that have the basic training and skills for shooting crime scene
examinations. This course will assist you in connecting all of the
forensic pieces for the purpose of shooting crime scene reconstruction.
A crime scene is a huge puzzle, and piece-by-piece we compile the physical
evidence in each case. The more difficult job is to try and connect those
pieces to obtain the big picture, the shooting crime scene reconstruction.
This course will also assist in the documentation of physical evidence at the
scene, which you previous might not have recorded in past cases.
The attendees will learn by using
string, dowel rods, scientific calculators, and/or lasers the flight path of the
projectile from the moment it leaves the firearm muzzle until it strikes the
final target and is recovered. Also the attendee will examine the firearm
residue for estimated distance determination from the position of the shooter to
the victim and/or final target.
Mock scenes for this course were designed to assist the student in the
importance of scene documentation, and to obtain the maximum and correct
information for ultimate shooting crime scene reconstruction.
What to bring to the course:
Casual attire and a digital camera with macro capabilities are preferred;
however 35mm camera may be used.
Laptop computer for your courtroom presentations would be highly recommended.
