Collecting fingerprints at a crime scene has long
been a routine procedure. Today's public safety personnel
have another potent weapon to add to the crime-fighting
arsenal - DNA. Except for identical twins, each person's
DNA is different. Because of these differences, DNA
collected from a crime scene can either link a suspect
to the evidence or eliminate a suspect. DNA evidence
can also help to solve crimes previously thought to
be unsolvable.
The proper handling of DNA evidence is critical to
its usefulness as evidence. The DNA modules cover
essential training in the fundamentals of properly
preserving, collecting, handling and storing DNA evidence
for professionals who respond to or process a crime
scene. The DNA Evidence course contains a DNA Evidence
learning segment and four interactive crime scenarios.
Each scenario provides a 360 degree view, allowing
the student to move about the crime scene. These scenarios
include homicide, sexual assault, burglary and violent
crime.
Special Thanks to the National Institute of Justice,
National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence,
and Eastern Kentucky University in the development
of this training.
