Course
Description: This class supports the identification and
comparison of non-firearm toolmarks commonly encountered in
criminal investigations. It is highly advanced and technical
in nature. Students receive training in tool manufacture,
common tool action and the toolmarks they produce, as well
as perform fracture and physical match examinations.
Students will receive pre-course material approximately two
weeks prior to the start of class, which they are
responsible for reviewing prior to the arrival of class. Due
to the amount of material covered in this course, students
can expect after-hours reading and study assignments.
The class encompasses a
full five (5) days of training, Monday through Friday.
Students should schedule their travel accordingly.
Who Should
Attend: Applications for this training will be
accepted from law enforcement laboratories. The training
will be held at the ATF National Laboratory Center in
Ammendale, Maryland. There is no cost for the training;
however students are responsible for their own travel,
lodging and incidental expenses.
Prerequisites
for Attendance: Students must be currently
working in the position of a qualified firearm examiner with
limited experience in non-firearm toolmarks in a forensic
laboratory within the United States. The curriculum is not
designed for examiner trainees. Students may be requested to
provide documentation verifying that part of their duties
include performing toolmark examinations for their
department. Each student must bring a lab coat and eye
protection.
