Course Description

Why Should I Take This Course?

This course was developed for the bloodstain pattern expert to advance their skills in the identification and reconstruction of bloodstain patterns at the crime scene, on articles of clothing and items of physical evidence recovered from a violent crime scene.   The latest research and application of bloodstain evidence will also be a topic for discussion.

The student will also be exposed to mock bloodstain crime scenes, report writing and utilization of automation animation and mannequins for court room demonstrative evidence and participate in a moot court, utilizing there knowledge, skills, and abilities as the bloodstain expert. 

 Who Should Take This Course?

 This comprehensive, 40 - hour course is designed for the student who has previously attended a forty hour introductory bloodstain pattern identification workshop.  This includes the proper documentation of bloodstains and the identification of the physical characteristics of the bloodstain patterns created at violent crime scenes where bloodshed occurs.

 All students are required to have had this previously training prior to attending this training course.  Documentation of the previously attended training classes (s) must be submitted with the application of this course.

 What Should I Bring To This Course? 

Please bring a scientific calculator, protractor, magnifying glass, computer software for calculations of bloodstains (if you currently utilize one), a digital or 35mm camera with macro capabilities are preferred, tripod and laptops would be helpful.  Casual clothing is desired for the week, jeans and T-shirts for Monday through Thursday, due to the workshop crime scene processing.  On Friday each workshop attendee will participate as an expert witness in a moot court setting.  Please bring clothing suitable for court appearances for that day only.

 

After Training Hours 

Please bring that special case that you would like a second opinion on, or would like to present to the class for peer review.  We will make time for those who want to participate to review those special cases during our training week.
