BASIC BLOODSTAIN PATTERN ANALYSIS LEVEL I

BY TOM BEVEL

This is a 40 hour class that will be held in Albuquerque, NM on  04-19-2010 - 04-23-2010 February 22-26, 2010  

The instructor of this course is Tom Bevel, who literally wrote the book on bloodstain pattern analysis, and is considered by many to be the premier expert in the world for this discipline.  Mr. Bevel only teaches a few times a year and is rarely in the southwest United States.

This course of instruction is designed for investigators, crime scene technicians, forensic technicians, and others involved in criminal and medical-legal investigations and crime scene analysis.  The course is intended to develop a fundamental knowledge of the discipline of bloodstain pattern analysis.  The course will illustrate to the student basic principals of bloodstain pattern analysis and the practical application of the discipline to actual casework.  The course syllabus is not intended to create an “instant” expert. 

This class will be held at the Albuquerque Police Department Crime Lab located at 5350 2nd St NW .  The cost for this class is $645.00 + tax per student.  Interested personnel need to contact Detective Michael Kleinfeld at (505) 823-4261.  Call as soon as possible, space in limited.
