Documentation & Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Course
This three day course will benefit crime scene investigators, detectives and anyone involved with law enforcement that investigates crime scenes involving bloodstain patterns. This course will help the criminal investigator in identifying, documenting and collecting all the evidence at a scene, where blood evidence is present, to assist them in reconstructing the incident. The students will learn how to use the tools necessary to determine the blood’s trajectory and possible location of the suspect and/or victim at the time of the incident. Students will also learn to examine the bloodstain evidence to determine the types of events that occurred during the incident. The students will incorporate the lessons learned during the classroom in hands-on scenarios that will enhance the learning process.
The fee is $220 per student. You must be a sworn law enforcement officer or Crime Scene Investigator employed by a local, City or State Law Enforcement Agency. Seating is limited to 25 students so don't delay and register now. You must contact Detective Terry Brandon (ret) at (704) 975-8151 to receive registration instructions.

SOUTHEASTERN INVESTIGATIVE GROUP
Southeastern Investigative Group was started to provide hands-on homicide investigation training. Hands-on training is the effective method of teaching simple and complex investigative principles and putting them to use in a field environment. Our students will put their training to practical use in our scenario driven, hands-on training.
Our experienced Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators will take the students step by step through the investigative process and review their performance. Feedback will be provided to further develop the student's investigative skills. We strongly promote the team concept in homicide investigations and that is how our students will train.
Mission
Southeastern Investigative Group's mission is to provide high quality and comprehensive hands-on homicide investigation training courses to current and future detectives as well as crime scene investigators. SIG will incorporate the lessons learned in the classroom into practical applications in scenario driven events to provide a full training exposure to our students. SIG will maximize the student's understanding by applying 40% in-classroom lessons and 60% hands-on training.
