Crime Lab 101
From the Scene to the Stand
What happens to evidence after it’s collected—and how does it ultimately impact a case?
Join forensic scientists from the Indiana State Police Laboratory and the Indianapolis–Marion County Forensic Services Agency for Crime Lab 101: From the Scene to the Stand, a practical, behind‑the‑scenes look at how biological evidence is processed from collection to results.
This fast‑paced session will cover serology and DNA testing, evidence collection and integrity, sexual assault kit manufacturing and distribution, and emerging tools like Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG).
Designed for forensic nurses, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, crime scene technicians, and allied forensic and victim service professionals.
Indiana-focused, but open to all.
Featuring Speakers:
