CRIME SCENE PROCESSING
WORKSHOP
40 Hours
This course is designed to give the student a better understanding of
the processes and techniques used to document a crime scene and to
recover physical evidence. Training and experience allows the law
enforcement officer to maintain the level of knowledge necessary to
properly protect and document any crime scene.
The student will learn through the use of extensive and repetitive
hands-on practical exercises which are based on thousands of actual
crime scenes that have been processed by the instructors. Students will
be assigned a crime scene scenario to process using the proper
techniques in the required order.

the ultimate crime against person. Understanding the processes used at
the homicide scene will prepare the student how to proceed at other
crimes against persons and property crimes.
