This basic one-day introduction to blood pattern analysis is aimed at Crime Scene Investigators and provides them with a broad idea of what to expect at a scene involving the presence of blood. Attendees will gain a basic understanding of how blood can be deposited and the types of stain and pattern which can be obtained.
The course will be delivered by our own highly experienced blood pattern analysis scientists, who are members of the IABPA and will be able to provide practical knowledge, experience, and case examples to give context and meaning to the material being taught.
The course will also have an all-important practical element, which will bring to life some of the key elements described in the lectures and give participants greater depth of knowledge as to the behaviours and visualisation of blood.
