The webinar is scheduled for 3 hours

Investigating infant deaths require 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.
