Making Impressions Count: A Refresher Course for Law Enforcement
Description
Since 1953 the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation's Criminalistics Services Division (OSBI Laboratory) has provided a multitude of forensic science services to law enforcement agencies operating within Oklahoma. In an effort to continually support our law enforcement partners, the OSBI Laboratory is offering a free, in-person refresher training course about the OSBI Latent Evidence Unit for 6 hours of CLEET continuing education credit. This training is designed for new and seasoned officers. It includes information about the OSBI Latent Evidence Unit’s capabilities and limitations, including a review of what their laboratory reports mean, and discussion on proper evidence collection, packaging, and submission tips for latent evidence items. This course also includes practical, hands-on exercises for all participants to practice latent fingerprint processing techniques on different types of items with one-on-one guidance and assistance from qualified OSBI Latent Evidence Unit Criminalists. It is recommended that participants bring their own fingerprint kits, if available. Free fingerprint kits/supplies will also be provided, as needed, for any participants needing one and will be theirs to keep upon completion of this course. There is a maximum of 10 participants allowed in each class.
