Training Update
Schedule
of Classes Announced
Specialized Training Program for
2000
Jane M. Homeyer |
Unit Chief
Forensic Science Training Unit
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Quantico, Virginia |
The Specialized Training
Program 2000 schedule is outlined below. The call for registration
elicited 1,100 applicants before the September 30, 1999, deadline.
Changes in the courses offered have been made to address the
high demand for particular classes. For example, a distance learning
course on DNA was originally scheduled for this year's program.
Instead, a multimedia course on forensic mass spectroscopy is
being developed because a large number of applicants expressed
interest in it. Additional classes may be added to the schedule
to meet the requests for training that have not yet been accommodated.
Training 2000, which will
be conducted by the FBI Laboratory's Forensic Science Training
Unit in Quantico, Virginia, was developed "to facilitate and provide high quality
training and information exchange in the forensic sciences to
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA), the FBI's National Academy, and other federal, state,
and local law enforcement agencies, including crime laboratories."
One objective of the Specialized
Forensic Science Training Program is to coordinate state-of-the-art
forensic science and crime scene instruction for federal, state,
and local law enforcement investigators and crime laboratory
scientists and technicians. A second objective of the program
is to ensure the efficient and equitable allocation of training
resources.
To obtain additional information
about the program and the courses, please contact Susan Villhauer
(703-632-4622) or Jane Homeyer (703-632-4630) at the Forensic
Science Training Unit of the FBI Laboratory Division. Written
