This is the third in a 4-part webinar series on defining, implementing, and managing a cold case unit. Building off of the past two webinars, “What is a Cold Case and How They are Solved?” and “Forming a Cold Case Unit and Managing Expectations” seasoned investigator, Jason Moran will discuss cold case solvability and present different scientific techniques and tools that officers at all levels should be aware of and can apply to cold case investigations. This webinar will focus on the application of the solvability matrix and include a presentation of different sciences that can be used in investigations including but not limited to DNA/CODIS.
This webinar is intended for law enforcement seeking to increase their understanding of cold case investigations and improving cold case investigative outcomes.
