Crime Scene Reconstruction

Coming Soon: 

Unlock the truth behind the scene. 

Crime scene reconstruction is  essential to a thorough investigation and reveals actions which are critical to determining the ground truth of an event, no matter the crime. Whether it is a death investigation or a property crime, many times crucial evidence is overlooked which prohibits establishing what actually happened at a scene.

This 5-day (40 hour) Investigative Analysis, Intro to Crime Scene Reconstruction course is designed to assist detectives, crime scene investigators, accident reconstruction personnel, and others involved in scene analysis. Lecture and practical exercises are used to advance investigators’ skills by practicing science-based methodologies for objective analysis of evidence to reconstruct actions and events. The resulting reconstructions produce fact-based conclusions which are valuable for case adjudication. 

Classroom instruction and practical exercises include:

• Essential concepts: analysis in context, logical reasoning process, scientific basis, cognitive bias, and objectivity in investigation.
• Techniques for organizing and evaluating information to aid retrievability, maximize comprehension, and identify evidence relationships. 
• Reconstruction through a process of correlating relationships between scene evidence, forensic analysis, subject/witness statements and scene context. 
• Introduction to bloodstain patterns and how they relate to other evidence.
• Application of science based principles to sequence actions identified by  evidence in the scene.    
• Application of the scientific method as an investigative approach to resolve sequences in event analysis.
• Instruction for preparing accurate and comprehensive reconstruction reports.
• Introduction to using graphics and demonstratives for analysis and reports.
