Course Summary

Ideal for those responsible for seizing exhibits and making submissions to the laboratory, this presentation will walk you through aspects of best practice and commonly made mistakes that can be made by crime scene investigators, police officers and forensic submissions teams to ensure that your Marks & Traces (M&T) evidence is robust and fit for purpose before it even reaches us at the laboratory. We will also provide hints and tips from the benefit of our hindsight to help you get the best out of your M&T cases. 

There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.
