Event Description

The basic bloodstain pattern analysis course is designed for beginner investigators or for those who have not yet had bloodstain pattern analysis training or exposure to bloodstained crime scenes. Students will learn how to correctly identify bloodstains both based on appearance as well as pattern mechanism. The course contains theory and principles of bloodstain pattern analysis as well as practical activities, mock scenes, and evidence.

It is recommended that students have previously completed a basic crime scene processing workshop course or have experience in the field. Students will need to bring the following equipment, if possible: DSLR camera, tripod, macro lens, and external flash. Scales and manual calipers will be provided. Please bring a digital caliper if you wish.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop a working knowledge and understanding of the physical properties and characteristics of blood

  • Utilize proper documentation and collection methods for bloodstains and bloodstain patterns.

  • Employ proper mathematical principles for determining angle of impact, area of convergence, and area of origin.

  • Understand and apply bloodstain pattern analysis findings to crime scenes and written reports
