Crime Scene to Trial Training
This one-of-a-kind training provides detailed instruction in the investigation of a crime scene and how seemingly unimportant details can become critical at trial. While participants conduct a crime scene investigation in a “mock house,” they will interrogate child abuse suspects, photograph the crime scene and interview witnesses. Intended for multidisciplinary teams, including: prosecutor, social worker, case manager, forensic interviewer, law enforcement officer, investigator or child protection attorney.
