Crime Scene investigation

This class focuses on crime scene investigation, evidence collection and documentation, the key components of any criminal investigation. This course will teach students the importance of properly processing a scene and preparing cases for court. The course includes instruction on the legal considerations of a crime scene search, including approaching the scene, sketching, photographing, latent print processing, identification and evidence collection and preservation. It will also include instruction on the collection of DNA, digital and firearms evidence. Students who attend this course will process a mock crime scene at HFSC’s Crime Scene House, providing them a unique opportunity to receive hands-on instruction and practical application of evidence collection, case review and other topics covered in the course.
