This 3-day course is designed for crime scene technicians, criminal investigators, ERT members and others who need to improve their understanding of and learn the recovery techniques for footwear and tire impression evidence.

 

The course provides extensive information and hands-on experience to assist the attendees in understanding why footwear and tire impression evidence is important, how to recover it, what this information can do to assist the investigation, and the type of examination results that can be expected. Included are demonstrations and hands-on instruction of how to document, photograph and cast impressions, the use of several methods of lifting impressions including electrostatic methods, and the latest methods and formulations for chemically enhancing impressions at both the crime scene and in the laboratory.

Case histories will be used to demonstrate the application of the topics covered in class. In addition, some brief examination exercises will be provided to solidify certain aspects of crime scene recovery and the types of results that can be attained in footwear and tire impression examinations.
