Effective Crime Scene Reporting:
Documentation and Demonstratives
Crime scene documentation demands an elevated and often technical level of detail that goes beyond standard field reporting needs of statutory and Uniform Crime Reporting requirements. Forensic/Scientific focused documentation can counter memory recall challenges experienced by even the most seasoned crime scene investigators. Accurate reporting offsets media-fueled CSI effects which adversely impacts ensuing and often time-delayed trials.
Forensic Technician Certification
Evidence Processing: Crime Scene to Courtroom Basics
Crime Scene Photography: The Essentials
Effective Crime Scene Reporting: Documentation and Demonstratives
Completion of the above three seminars and examination will result in the issuance of a Forensic Crime Scene Technician certification. These seminars do not need to be completed in the same week and anyone who has completed these seminars previously will be issued the certification. Likewise, these seminars may be taken individually and do not require they all be taken within the week and any of the seminars taken previously count towards the certification.

"Every new evidence tech should take this course. I have nor found any course that goes this deep in detail on how to write crime scene reports!"
Ofc. Nick Szalinski, Joliet (IL) PD
"The lecture on reporting and documentation was great. You touched on taking good and bad things from peer reports to make your own better. That resonated with me because that’s what I have done more so since I became a supervisor. It has helped me tremendously with writing better reports. I also really appreciated the tips on breathing techniques before trials. I have gone in very nervous and this will help me. The course overall was great and I will recommend it to all my peers." Cpl. Chris Gilbertson, Latah County (ID) SO
