Course Description
This course uses traditional educational
methods and computer simulation to

theory as well as the actual practices and
techniques used to process a crime scene.
The student will learn how crime scene
professionals protect themselves and the
evidence at a crime scene and the different
roles law enforcement professionals
execute at the scene of a crime. The course
also describes the many types of evidence
and how evidence is collected and secured
before it is processed by a crime lab.
