Crime Scene Reconstruction...From Here to There- 16 hr Workshop**

Dina Gray, FBI Structural Design Unit, Quantico, Va.

Robert Thomas, FBI Structural Design Unit, Quantico, Va.

    The workshop is designed to inform and instruct investigators, crime scene technicians, and others associated with crime scene investigations in the use of measuring techniques and their application to building a three-dimensional scale model. By learning and applying recognized measuring techniques, such as baseline, azimuth, triangulation and grid, the attendees will gather data from a mock crime scene and develop the information into a three-dimensional model.

    Emphasis will be placed on the correct ways of using the above- mentioned measuring techniques to document a crime scene, and then to take that data and use it to make detailed scale drawings. From these drawings, the attendees will be shown how to plan and construct a model. Through case examples, discussions, and hands-on experience the attendees will grasp the importance of three-dimensional models and how they can be effectively used to clarify difficult-to-understand crime scenes, and the relationships between witnesses, victims, and evidence

Luminol vs BlueStar® Workshop**  - 2 hour Workshop

King Brown & Dawn Watkins (CS)

This workshop involves Luminol processing of blood at the crime scene and a presentation of new data on BlueStar® Forensic as compared to Luminol. In past years, Luminol processing has been a problem due to chemical mixing procedures, improper mixing and problems in interpretation of the Luminol reaction. Luminol requires total darkness and causes much difficulty in photographic capture of the area for most investigators.

In recent years, Luminol processing has become much easier with no more mixing of chemical components, no more measurement errors, and little or no waste. Mix only the prescribed pre-measured amount you need in the kit for the specific Crime Scene.

Thanks to this new technology of BlueStar® Forensic, we have entered a new era of the search for illusive hidden blood.

A demonstration will be conducted with focus on the comparison of BlueStar® Forensic to Luminol on blood stains. BlueStar® Forensic will reveal that total darkness will not be needed and found to be easier to photograph. BlueStar® Forensic also provides a presumptive test to determine if the tested area is animal or human blood. Each student will have the opportunity to test both Luminol & BlueStar® Forensic to evaluate both products.

Photographic techniques to capture each products chemical reaction will be discussed.

Rideology Science Workshop- Lite - 8 hr Workshop

Scott Ford, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension

The student will become familiar with the concepts of the ACE-V methodology and learn tips and strategies for efficiently searching and comparing latent prints.  The students will also have the opportunity to perform comparisons from exercise packets that are similar in design to the IAI certification examination for latent print examiners.  Students must bring their own comparison loupes and be prepared for approximately 4 hours of comparisons searching 1:1 size latent prints against 10 print and palm print cards.
