September 8-12, 2025
Credit Hours: 40

Description:
Death investigation requires a team effort consisting of detectives, crime scene technicians, and forensic personnel. Positive outcomes are best realized when these components work together to collect, evaluate, reconstruct, and derive meaning from the available evidence.

- Methods for identifying and evaluating physical and biological evidence, wounds, bloodstains, ballistics, witnesses, and other evidence
- Evidence associated with child deaths, self-inflicted death, domestic violence, and accidental deaths
- Capabilities and limitations of forensic analysis
