Training Program
Examination of Footwear Impression Evidence
Course dates to be announced
This is a one-week course designed for crime laboratory examiners who are conducting
footwear examinations and/or comparisons in the laboratory. This course presents
the most current methods for the location and retrieval of footwear evidence
from the crime scene, reviews the physical and chemical enhancement of impression
evidence, and covers all aspects of the comparison of shoes with crime scene
impressions. Footwear manufacturing processes, as they relate to the examination
process,
are also covered. A significant portion of this course is devoted to hands on
comparison of footwear standards with questioned crime scene impressions through
practice casework exercises. The course instructors review these exercises in
class, and feedback
is provided to the student examiners.
