This is a basic level course for detectives and other law enforcement personnel that are new to processing crime scenes.  The course is taught by multiple members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Evidence Response Team.  It includes classroom instruction and practical exercises outside of the classroom.  The course ends with the students dividing into teams and processing a mock crime scene, using the techniques learned from the course.  It is a fast-paced course and each block of instruction builds on the ones before it. Some of the course topics will include:

• Basic crime scene management
• Latent prints
• Serology and DNA
• Impressions
• Alternate light source
• Searching vehicles
• Documentation
• Photography
• Sketching
• Recovering human remains
• Autopsy procedures
