A HANDS-ON TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Adult education experts tell us that people learn best by doing rather than just watching and listening. Eagle Crime Scenes, Inc. embraces a training philosophy in which hands-on training is the norm. A busy student is a student who is learning. Mock crime scenes, evidence processing, photography, and analysis tasks are incorporated into all of our courses. We teach you by having you perform the tasks you are learning while we provide guidance and background theory.

Here's a video of one of our classes:

Our training courses incorporate mock crime scenes that approximate the types of physical evidence likely to be encountered in the real world. Trace evidence, bloodstain patterns, footwear impressions, and other critical pieces of evidence are used to teach students the art and science of crime scene investigations. Our instructors use their vast crime scene experience to deliver realistic training using real case examples.

“This course was a big plus for understanding how the manual SLR camera operated for students that have limited knowledge of camera operation. This class was very hands-on and presented in a very understandable format. The instructors knew the information front and back, and presented it in laymen’s terms.”
