Certification in Crime Scene & Emergency Evidence Handling

ABOUT THE COURSE

The Certification in Crime Scene & Emergency Evidence Handling is a specialized professional course designed to provide learners with practical knowledge of crime-scene preservation, evidence identification, documentation, collection, packaging, labelling, transportation and chain-of-custody management.

The course focuses on what happens from the moment an incident is discovered until evidence is safely transferred to the appropriate investigating or forensic authority.

It is suitable for professionals and learners working in emergency response, healthcare, security, law enforcement support, forensic services, disaster response and incident management. The objective is not to teach criminal investigation itself, but to teach the correct preservation and handling of potential evidence at an incident or emergency scene.

WHY THIS COURSE?

Evidence can be lost, contaminated, damaged or challenged when a scene is not properly managed.

This certification teaches learners how to approach an incident scene systematically:

SECURE → OBSERVE → DOCUMENT → PRESERVE → COLLECT → PACKAGE → LABEL → RECORD → TRANSFER

Learners develop an understanding of how to protect the integrity and traceability of evidence while minimizing contamination and unnecessary disturbance.
