It will provide a rapid refreshment on best practice approaches to basic evidence recovery before addressing more advanced issues of wider scene logistics and management. Multiple aspects of crime scene investigation, including intelligence gathering, assessment and dissemination will be covered in detail. The course will also provide non-assessed awareness inputs on firearms, fire scenes, drugs and disciplines with niche evidence types.
More serious crime scenes will be covered in depth, including: murder and unexplained death, decomposition, post-mortems, sudden infant death and sexual offences. Specialist techniques and disciplines will be further addressed by a scenario-based linked final exercise and an assessed written paper, which will explore forensic strategies and evidence recovery plans.
