Homicide Cold Case Review Committee
The Public Agency Training Council
is known throughout the United States (and beyond) as the
source for Law Enforcement
training and services. As a new service the PATC announces
the formation of the "Cold Case Review Committee." The purpose
of this committee is to make available to police departments,
who do not have Cold Case Squads, a review process for
old, unsolved homicides. PATC has over fifty instructors
with expertise in many fields in law enforcement. Each
of these instructors bring many years of experience in
their specific areas.
These fields include: Homicide Investigation
and Supervision, Crime Scene Analysis and Blood Spatter Interpretation,
Domestic and Child
Homicides,
Arson Investigation, Burn Pattern Analysis, Forensic Pathology,
Legal Issues such as Miranda, Search and Seizure, the
storage and handling of evidence from old cases, and bombs and explosive
devices,
just to name a few.
This
service will be offered by the Public Agency Training
Council at no charge to the
submitting
agency.
