You may not look at your next scene the same.
Investigating infant deaths requires a unique approach and can be complicated for even the most experienced investigators. These scenes, more than any other type, are highly charged and emotional. If not investigated with a pre-determined set of standards, evidence can be missed, or scenes can be misinterpreted.
This webinar will specifically discuss scene processing, last known re-enactments, witness and family statements, evidence collection and documentation, injury and wound interpretation, and investigative techniques relating to child and infant death.
The training will thoroughly cover the numerous aspects of these investigative cases and promote critical thinking and evaluation of these scenes and all the unique pieces to help delineate homicides from accidental and natural deaths, even in the most subtle of cases.
After this three hour webinar you will be better able to determine key scene features of an infant death and discuss the difference in evidence from an adult death.
Evidence used in these deaths is very different than that of adults. What evidence matters most in an infant's death?
Apply structured investigative techniques to accurately document, analyze, and interpret findings in cases involving the death of an infant.
What red flags to look for during the investigation and how a social autopsy of the infant can reveal clues otherwise not found.
What injuries are typically found on an infant, or lack if external injuiry, and what that tells you about the death.
