The Silent Witness: Crime Scene Investigation with Sharon Plotkin reveals how every crime scene tells a story — if you know how to listen. Evidence doesn’t lie; it speaks through bloodstains, fingerprints, trace materials, and scene dynamics. This course, led by Sharon Plotkin, guides participants through the essential principles and practices of professional crime scene investigation, from first response to courtroom presentation.

Students will gain hands-on knowledge in:

• Proper documentation, photography, and scene security

• Evidence recognition, collection, and preservation

• Bloodstain pattern and trace evidence interpretation

• Understanding the role of crime scene findings in building cases

By the end of this training, attendees will have the tools to uncover the “silent testimony” of crime scenes and transform physical evidence into powerful investigative and prosecutorial insights.

Designed for law enforcement, forensic professionals, students, and criminal justice practitioners, this course bridges theory with practice to sharpen investigative skills and elevate forensic awareness.
