Crime Scene Investigation Training

The training of police and support staff in the identification, recording and recovery of evidence from crime scenes includes crime scene photography and the recovery of trace evidence. 

The Foundation CSI Learning Programme gives a new starter the skills and knowledge required to become a competent Crime Scene Investigator. This programme is mapped to National Occupational Standards and is awarded a Foundation Degree by Teesside University.

Assessment methods used within the CSI Learning Programme have been designed to ensure that the students are able to demonstrate the practical skills, knowledge and understanding that will make them effective and competent practitioners within their working environment.

Instructor and assessor training has been developed to ensure validity and reliability of the methodology used, which is appropriate and suitable to the learning programme.
