Come Join me at the Wisconsin Association for Identification Conference for two hands-on Workshops! 

The Ingleside Hotel
2810 Golf Rd, Pewaukee, WI 53072

March 4, 2025 8:30 am - 11:45 am
Documentation of Bloodstains at Crime Scenes
This workshop creates a foundation for the proper documentation of blood related evidence found at incident scenes. Participants will learn the techniques required to capture detailed photographs, sketches, and complete comprehensive written reports of scene observations. The information gained can be used to answer investigative questions and preserve scenes in a manner that future scene reconstruction by trained bloodstain pattern analysts can be conducted if needed. Emphasis is placed on documentation of environmental factors and target surfaces, and how these alter the appearance and presence of bloodstains.  Participants will engage in hands-on practical exercises to observe the creation of bloodstains on various surfaces and gain experience in scene photography and measurements. 

Hands on activities will allow for an opportunity to practice photographic techniques discussed in class. A DSLR or mirrorless camera and note taking materials are recommended for this course.​

March 4, 2025 12:45pm - 4:00pm
Documentation of Ballistic Evidence at Crime Scenes
This workshop provides foundational knowledge and skills in documenting ballistic evidence at shooting scenes. Participants will learn how to identify relevant information from firearm related evidence using proper firearm terminology, effective methods for photographing ballistic evidence, and proper firearm evidence collection procedures. Participants will engage in hands on practical exercises with numerous types of real firearm items traditionally found at shooting scenes to learn how information gained on scene can be used to generate immediate investigative leads. 

Hands on activities will allow for an opportunity to practice photographic techniques discussed in class. A DSLR or mirrorless camera and note taking materials are recommended for this course.​

Both workshops are included in the registration fee for the 2025 WAI Conference. Register and sign up for these workshops before spots fill up!
