Topic: "Documenting your scene accurately and thoroughly with a
comprehensive user friendly checklist".

His law enforcement career, which spanned 25 years, included the responsibility of lead crime
scene officer in the Capital Area Major Case Squad. Dick is the author of the widely
respected and used "Death Scene Checklist Manual". This checklist was designed to be easy
to use and a step by step guide to managing, preserving, and documenting your scene. It was
created to assist in remembering the many things that need to be observed and documented.
Once the checklist has been completed at a scene it is then given to the case prosecutor.
Prosecutors have found this comprehensive checklist an incredibly beneficial tool when
preparing their case for trial. Dick will be using death scene photos and together you will walk
through the various death scenes using the checklist. Dick is a member of the International
Crime Scene Investigators Association. You won't want to miss his presentation.

The Death Scene Awareness Project holds a yearly symposium for the death investigation community.
This symposium will provide speakers who will present cutting edge information and will also provide a place where death investigation
professionals can come together, network, and promote an exchange of ideas.
The Awareness Project understands that in today's economy it is often necessary for those who carry out death investigations such as
forensic labs, police departments, and medical examiners to work with limited financial resources and budgets that are being cut.
These cuts put them in a difficult position when it comes to the affordability of ongoing training. Recognizing that reality, the symposium that we present will be offered at a greatly reduced cost to the death investigation community.
We believe that every person who would like to attend and learn should be able to do.
We believe this will allow a department to send as many people to the symposium as they would like to and in doing so this will strengthen our death investigation community.
