Course Description
This two-day course is
designed to provide law enforcement personnel with an
introduction to the basic principles of crime analysis with a
focus on strategic crime analysis and crime mapping. The first
day of the course will focus on: 1) an overview crime
analysis; 2) the role of a Crime Analyst: 3) an introduction
to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS); 4)
use of the Vermont Crime On-Line software; 5) the methodology
of crime analysis; and 5) crime analysis reporting products.
The second day of the course, which will be scheduled
approximately one month after the initial class, will provide
participants with an opportunity for practical application of
their crime analysis skills by participating in a crime
analysis workshop. During the interim between the two classes
students will choose and conduct a crime analysis project of
interest to their agency. The workshop segment of the course
will provide an opportunity for students to present and
discuss their crime reports. Following the workshop, students
will receive mapping training using the Vermont Crime On-Line
Mapping product. Students will learn how to construct pin
maps, hot spot maps, and thematic maps. The final topic of
the course will focus on developing a Crime Analysis program
at an agency.

Physical evidence is not subjective. It does not lie, forget,
or distort.
Thorough crime scene
investigation is vitally important to effective law
enforcement. The purpose of this course of instruction is to
provide police officers with instruction on the awareness,
documentation, preservation and collection of physical
evidence and basic crime scene processing procedures.
The course will cover
information outlined in the Physical Evidence Handbook
published by the Vermont Forensic Laboratory, as well as,
other information obtained from training aids and hands on
practical exercises.
By the end of the class, each
officer will have to demonstrate that they can perform a
number of skills, to include, dust for and lift developed
latent prints, swab for biological collection purposes, make a
cast of a tool/tool mark impression, and make a tire and/or
foot wear impression using dental stone.
NOTE: This is a
“hands-on” training. Trainees should wear appropriate
clothing that they do not mind possibly getting dirty.
Trainees will also be going outside and thus should prepare to
dress accordingly.
