This two and a half day seminar is designed to keep the Homicide Investigator or the officer with special interest in this type of subject area abreast of information and technical developments concerning this important field, and also to provide the framework for statewide communication among Homicide Investigators. Information will be presented through case study presentations of homicides or suspicious deaths, technical updates on the various forensic disciplines, and lectures of particular interest such as legal developments (4 hours).
If you have a case study or other applicable presentation to deliver to the group, please contact Jeff Dwyer at 804-588-4144 or Jeffrey.Dwyer@dfs.virginia.gov.
