Join us for a one-day training program presented by the Saint Albans Police Department, endorsed by law enforcement regional training academies, state agencies, and associations nationwide. This nationally recognized training program will focus on two critical topics: Suicide and the Equivocal Death Scene, as well as SIDS and the Infant Death Scene.

Led by Investigator David Newman, a 23-year veteran of the Norfolk Police Department, this course is designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the key indicators at equivocal scenes, aiding in defining the manner of death in cases where it is open to interpretation. Participants will learn the role of victimology in equivocal death of adults, as well as scene conditions and cause of death that are commonly associated with suicide as opposed to accidental death and homicide.

The afternoon session will focus on the challenges encountered by both patrol officers and investigators at the scenes of infant deaths. Many innocent-looking scenes result in being ruled homicides, while equivocal death as well applies to almost every infant death scene. Attendees will learn how neonates and infants do not die absent reason or cause, and the protocol and responsibilities that apply to adult death scenes are applied to those of infants.

Whether you are a member of law enforcement who plays any role at the crime scene or investigation of a suicide scene, equivocal death, or infant death, this one-day course is a must-attend. Coroners and medical examiner investigators will also benefit greatly from the case reviews presented during training.

Don’t miss out on this unique training opportunity to learn from a qualified expert in death investigation and its related forensic fields. The tuition cost is only $125.00 for each seat, which includes a certificate of attendance and all training material provided online. Seating is limited and released on a first-come, first-serve basis, so be sure to register today!
