Dwane S. Hilderbrand, Senior Consultant/Instructor
Ron Smith & Associates, Inc.
Scottsdale, Arizona

 Dwane Hilderbrand began his distinguished criminal justice career in 1975 with his employment in the Identification Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, located in Washington, D.C.  In 1978, he accepted a position as Identification Technician with the Prince William County Police Department in Woodbridge, Virginia, where he was employed until 1981, when he was offered a forensic identification and crime scene position with the Scottsdale, Arizona Police Department.  Dwane dedicated the remainder of his government career to the development of his advanced technical analytical and testimonial skills and retired in October of 2005 with twenty-four years of service to the citizens of Scottsdale, Arizona.  He is now employed as a senior consultant and instructor with Ron Smith & Associates, Incorporated, headquartered in Meridian, Mississippi.

 Subsequent to Dwane’s studies in Police Science, he earned a Bachelors Degree in Management from the University of Phoenix followed by a Master’s Degree in Education from Northern Arizona University.  He is one of the very few forensic professionals in the world who has earned professional certifications from the International Association for Identification as a “Certified Latent Print Examiner”, “Certified Senior Crime Scene Analyst” and “Certified Footwear Examiner”.  He was recently awarded Member Emeritus to the American Society of Forensic Podiatry 

Dwane Hilderbrand, a P.O.S.T. certified instructor, has been invited to speak on a wide variety of forensic related topics at professional conferences across the United States and abroad.  His famous “make them glad they came” teaching style has made him one of the most sought after instructors in the criminal justice profession.

 This particular seminar, “The Examination and Comparison of Tire Track Evidence” is one of Dwane’s new seminars, but promises to meet the same goals as all of his other courses. He has done extensive research on the topic and has developed a methodology of teaching criminal justice professionals from all aspects of law enforcement on the proper and effective methods of examining and comparing tire track evidence.  He understands the needs of the examiner.

 He has come to realize that students need more than teaching they need to be involved with the learning experience. Dwane is an accomplished expert instructor. These advanced instructional skills are the reason that Dwane Hilderbrand has been personally selected by Ron Smith & Associates, Inc. to be a primary instructor of this very popular three (3) day examination and comparison of tire track evidence seminar.
