An Agency Cold Case Presentation October 11, 2012

The Center for Excellence in Justice Administration announces that its third 2012 Homicide Seminar and Cold Case presentation will be focused on bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) as it pertains to crime scene reconstruction. This opportunity is open to All law enforcement officers, crime analysts, and crime scene investigators, and is CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. The Center for Excellence in Justice Administration is funding the entire cost of this seminar and there is no cost to seminar participants. This lecture will provide violent crime investigators, crime scene technicians, medical examiners, coroners, forensic nurses, and attorneys assigned to investigate, process, conduct examinations, and prosecute such cases a framework for analyzing blood dynamics that occur between the offender, victim, and scene and then using that analysis to aid in crime scene reconstruction. The last session of the afternoon will tentatively be spent reviewing an unsolved homicide case presented by an agency to the audience and panel of experts. Participants will gain hands on experience analyzing the manner of death and investigative protocols. Investigators who are interested in presenting an unsolved homicide case at a future seminar should contact Mr. Dave Pauly, Seminar Coordinator, for details on presentation format and time requirements.
