Description

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services is pleased to offer this two-day “Homicide Investigations Training” presented by the Dolan Consulting Group.

This class is focused on the proper management of scenes involving unattended deaths. The class begins with a review of basic crime scene and investigative principles and then moves into the specific topic of managing scenes involving death.

This class will address the recognition, identification, interpretation, and documentation of signs of death, and how these skills work together to further the investigative process. It will also address basic issues that arise during death investigations, such as legal authority while handling the crime scene and issues that may arise during the interviews and interrogations of involved parties.

This class is highly interactive and calls on the attendees to use the knowledge used in the class to interpret crime scenes and organize an investigative plan. The attendees will be presented with actual scenarios from real investigations.
