Practical Crime Scene Applications and Evidence Recovery
A crime scene only tells its story once. What you find, document, and recover in those first hours can make or break the case that follows.
Evidence doesn't get a second chance. Neither does the scene.
John Loges brings more than three decades of criminal and major case investigations to this course, including hands-on crime scene and evidence work across complex cases.
John E. Loges Jr. is a nationally recognized instructor and subject matter expert in criminal investigations, and the owner and lead instructor of JLoges Law Enforcement, Military, and Leadership Training and Consulting LLC.
