FORENSICS & CRIME SCENE TRAINING
Enhance Forensic Capabilities
Physical material (e.g., trace, fungible) in and about the scene of a crime is highly fragile in the sense that the elements, time, inadvertent movement, improper handling and packaging, and numerous other influences can reduce or destroy its evidentiary value. The legal and scientific standards concerning the collection, processing, and accountability of physical evidence are rigid. Thus, mistakes can easily be made in processing the scene of a crime; but the more important fact is that mistakes can easily be avoided if sound procedures are followed.
