Crime Scene Investigation
You are not trash collectors. We must differentiate from trash and evidence. Learn the numerous types of evidence that are present at crime scenes. This includes evidence that is visible to the human eye and those that need to be developed.  
Fingerprinting
An introduction to the classification of fingerprints and the ridge patterns. Students will learn how to use traditional powders to develop fingerprints on non-porous surfaces as well as more challenging substrates like paper, tape, and textured surfaces. Students will be able to set up their own cyanoacrylate fuming chamber and use various chemicals to develop friction ridges on all types of surfaces. Other techniques include magnetic powders, small particle reagents, and chemicals. Development of bloody fingerprints using chemicals will be demonstrated and practiced. 
Impression Evidence
Footwear, tire and tool marks can be valuable pieces of the crime scene puzzle. Students will use different types of equipment to collect impression evidence. This includes foot impressions in dirt, snow (if available) and on carpets. Students will collect pry marks made by a selection of tools and match the evidence to the tools used to create the marks.  
Photography and Documentation
Introduction to crime scene photography techniques. Students will practice using different lighting techniques to capture the best photographs possible at a crime scene. While this is an introduction to photography, students will learn how to properly adjust for light using aperture, shutter speeds, and flashes. Even point and shoot cameras will be discussed.
Students will practice sketching crime scenes using numerous techniques. The proper sketching technique for different types of crime scenes will be discussed and practiced. 
Alternative Light Sources
Students will use different light sources to locate trace evidence in mock crime scenes. Locating, photographing and collecting trace evidence will be practiced. Fluorescent powders will also be used to develop fingerprints on numerous surfaces.
