Cold Case Investigation

This course was developed for investigators, or potential cold case investigators, in order to establish proven protocols and methodology in cold case investigation. This course will aid in administrative organization and development of a cold case team. Some topics to be discussed include creating a tracking system for multiple open cold cases, providing new investigative steps, critical forensic evidence review, and reconstruction of the cold case to a point of successful resolution. Hands on practical exercises provide the students with a better understanding of these protocols and methods, and will reinforce the classroom discussions.
Students may bring one cold case for group review.
