The overall goal of the program is to give law enforcement and other criminal justice professionals the information they need concerning the collection and usage of DNA evidence so that critical pieces of evidence will be collected, fewer cases will be jeopardized by the mishandling of evidence, and more cases could be solved by the proper use of this technology. This program will create a context in which evidence identification, collections, transportation, storage, and usage can be applied to scenario-based situations. Participants will have the opportunity to apply newly acquired knowledge by working in crime scene simulation exercises. Topics include: Crime scenes, evidence collection techniques, laboratory analysis, personal protective equipment use, and using results.
