MULTI-DAY WORKSHOPS Sign up is Online at the Time of Registration

Basic Latent Print 40 Hour Workshop newThis forty-hour workshop is designed to help get the training process started for new examiners by introducing them to the terminology and concepts necessary to become a latent print examiner. This workshop is designed to introduce the student to the science of latent print examination. It will provide the student with the basic knowledge, skills, and abilities to conduct casework as a latent print examiner. By knowing the history of latent print examination, the biology of the friction ridge skin, levels of friction ridge skin detail, and proper ACE-V methodology it will help the student become more confident and a better expert in the latent print discipline.This workshop has an additional $75 fee and will be limited to twenty-five (25) students with registration prior to the conference required. Class begins on Sunday Morning. A certificate of training will be issued to students upon completion of the workshop. This workshop will provide for 40 hours of continuing education credit required for I.A.I. certification and recertification.

Crime Scene Investigation 40 Hour Workshop This introductory course is geared towards crime scene and law enforcement personnel. This 40 hour class will introduce the many techniques and concepts in the successful outcome of criminal investigations. Topics will include photography, sketching, collection of evidence, chain of custody, fingerprinting, shoe wear and tool mark impression evidence, shooting and bloodstain reconstruction and many more. Lectures, power points, handouts and many hands on labs will ensure the successful completion of all objectives.This workshop has an additional $75 fee and will be limited to twenty-five (25) students with registration prior to the conference required. Class begins on Sunday Morning. A certificate of training will be issued to students upon completion of the workshop. This workshop will provide for 40 hours of continuing education credit required for I.A.I. certification and recertification.

IAI Crime Scene Certification Test Prep 24 Hour WorkshopAs part of the move toward becoming a more centralized, competent, and credible community of crime scene investigators, practitioners are seeking certification programs; the largest being the three tier program through the International Association for Identification. This course is designed to prepare those seeking IAI Certified Crime Scene Investigator status, the first level of certification. Participants will be refreshed on test taking strategies, the application process, and the required materials. Chapter topics will be reviewed in outline format and questions will be presented using a student response system in order to assess areas in which participants need the most review, time then being spent on these topics as necessary. Study guides have been prepared and will be provided for further study.The intent of this course is to eliminate time spent preparing for International Association for Identification level 1 crime scene certification (Certified Crime Scene Investigator). This course, however, is not intended to be an alternative to textbook study. Any assessment questions found within the content of this course have been written by the instructor and have not been taken from past or current IAI tests. They may or may not appear on your certification test. Successful completion of this course in no way guarantees a passing score on the actual certification test; it is a review of material that the instructor feels could assist you in preparing to achieve a successful score. A certificate of training will be issued to students upon completion of the workshop. There is no additional fee for this three day class but you must register prior to the conference. Class begins on Sunday Morning.Those with prior approval from the IAI will be able to take the Crime Scene Certification Test (any level) at the conference on Thursday, November 1, 2018. Approval to take the test must be arranged 60 days prior to the conference.
