Particular emphasis is given to the collection, preservation and submission of microscopic and trace evidence to the crime laboratory. Common Evidence Collection Faults are identified and resolved. Training is provided in the Administration and Management of Crime Scenes. Students are required to participate in a Mock Crime Scene Scenario and arrive at a successful resolution to demonstrate their acquisition of the material provided in this course.
