CJ525 Expert Testimony and Ethics

The Expert Testimony and Ethics course is designed for law enforcement professionals who may find themselves appointed to lead a forensics laboratory or to train lab workers in evidentiary procedures. A Crime Lab Manager may not be one of the actual crime lab scientists, but must be able to lead and teach others how to process evidence and protect the evidentiary chain of custody as well as testify to the court. They may also serve in an internal quality assurance capacity to inspect processes in the agency’s crime laboratory. The course discusses the various forms of evidence and ethics surrounding the handling of materials vital to a court case.
