Time: 1:00pm – 3:00pm (Eastern Time)
This training is for anyone who will be investigating a death scene, including police officers, death scene investigators, and crime scene technicians.
The initial information available to death scene investigators early on in the investigation is usually quite limited. Therefore, the death scene investigator must make decisions at the scene, regarding what is probative or important, without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight later when additional information might become available. As a general rule, when the scene investigator doesn't have enough information to know what is important, everything becomes important.
This training will focus on identifying and properly documenting evidence at a death scene. Tips for ensuring that pertinent aspects of the scene are properly documented will be discussed.
Photography methods will be presented, including the proper photography of scene evidence, injuries, bloodstain evidence and ballistic evidence.
Crime scene diagrams can be an important part of scene reconstruction. Accurate diagrams and measurements assist the jury in understanding the layout of the scene. Accurate measurements should be taken in such a way that a scale or "proportionately correct" diagram can be produced.
