Instructor: Penny Dechant (AZDPS)

Erroneous exclusions are being discovered with surprising frequency in latent print units around the country. Research into the decisions of latent print examiners show that erroneous exclusions are common and inevitable. So, what is enough for an exclusion? What is your lab’s standard for exclusion? This workshop will review the policy changes that Arizona DPS implemented and examples of erroneous exclusions from casework. Hands-on comparison exercises will demonstrate a practical approach to exclusion decisions.

This workshop will allow students to practice ambient light, painting with light and flash photography techniques in mock crime scene and collision scene scenarios. This nighttime class will begin with hands on instruction and continue with an open practice for students to develop skills in different low light scenarios.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: DSLR/Mirrorless Camera & lens, tripod, flash unit, flashlight

SUGGESTED EQUIPMENT: Shutter release cord & flash cord
