Instruction will be on the progressively more advanced concepts and methodologies utilized at a crime scene to include advanced photography concepts to include low light and laser photography, advanced print processing techniques, handling difficult, adhesive, and textured surfaces, how to build a mock crime scene, and how students should work through and be evaluated on their performance working through the scene. Skills demonstration, coupled with discussion and implementation strategies for the K-12 classroom facilitation of activities, provides participants with the most current field-based methodologies to best incorporate the concepts within their classroom..
