Police Forensics 1 covers a number different areas of forensic science and police investigation techniques that are used today to solve crimes. The class will be taught through lecture, video and extensive “hands on” practical applications. Students will survey the analysis and processing of physical evidence such as Fingerprint lifting and comparisons, Shoeprint Analysis, Eyewitness Evidence, and Criminal Profiling, among others. Students will examine the legal processes from investigation through the presentation of evidence for a criminal trial.   Students will perform the tasks of a crime scene investigator in both interior and outdoor crime scenes, as possible.
