Training

This comprehensive 40-hour course is designed for crime scene investigators, detectives, crime laboratory analysts and others in the field of forensic science that need the basic training and techniques for the buried body or surface skeleton crime scene examination and recovery. This course will assist you in connecting all of the forensic pieces for the purpose of crime scene reconstruction. Mock scenes for this course are designed to assist the student in the importance of scene documentation and to obtain the maximum correct information for the ultimate crime scene reconstruction of both surface skeleton cases and more complex buried human cases. Attendees will be assigned to a crime scene team and will be responsible for the entire scene investigation with a presentation of their findings on the final class day. The teams will be graded on the amount of physical evidence (clues) they recover from their scenes. The attendees will have a working knowledge of the techniques required to examine a surface skeleton and a buried body crime scene to include:  protocols, potential physical evidence awareness, equipment needs, bone identification & inventory, preservation of human remains procedures, search & documentation techniques as well as courtroom case presentation experience. 
Please note that expensive composite skeletons will be buried for the mock scene sites.
