Trace Evidence Collection

March 11, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm

This course will provide participants with an understanding of how the collection of trace evidence at crime scenes; to include autopsies and vehicle processing, on a routine basis can aid in successful criminal investigations.  Trace evidence becomes particularly valuable in cases where latent prints and DNA fail to provide an identification of a suspect.  Emphasis will be placed on the proper techniques for collection and packaging of trace evidence.  Case studies will be presented and hands-on collection methods will be practiced.

Topics Include:

  • Locard’s Exchange Theory
  • Fiber Transfer
  • Paint Transfer
  • Physical Match
  • Glass
  • Fire Debris
  • Miscellaneous/Unknown
  • Footwear (as time permits)
