Department of Law Enforcement in Pensacola,
until June of 2001 serving over twenty-two years.
Her duties consisted of both laboratory analysis
and on scene processing and examinations which
included: detection, collection, and preservation of
physical evidence, bloodstain pattern
interpretation, trajectory analysis, buried bodies
and skeletal remains recovery, clandestine
laboratories, and numerous homicide crime
scenes to include quadruple murders. She has
testified in hundreds of criminal cases in
bloodstain pattern interpretation and crime scene
reconstruction and analysis. For the last three
years Jan was employed by the Escambia County
Sheriff’s Office where she was the supervisor of
the Crime Scene and Latent Print units as well as
in charge of the new laboratory in which she
designed. She is past Chairman of the Board of
Directors and past President of the International
Association of Identification. Jan is also involved
with the Florida division of IAI and is currently
the President for 2007. She was also on the
original Crime Scene Certification Board for the
IAI and has served on numerous committees with
both the IAI and the FDIAI. Jan has taught
numerous courses in the areas of both Crime
Scene and Bloodstain Pattern Interpretation in the
United States and abroad to include South Africa

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This comprehensive 40-hour workshop will provide
participants training and assistance in the proper
recognition of bloodstain pattern evidence to include
actual laboratory experimentation of blood flight
characteristics to motion and force. These experiments
will be augmented with lecture material and case
presentations for the ultimate purpose of
reconstruction of the sequence of events, which
occurred at the scene of a crime. This is a hands-on
workshop that will allow the participants to work
individually and in small groups as they acquire the
necessary knowledge and skills required of a bloodstain
pattern analyst. The bloodstain evidence that will be
analyzed will include that which is present at the crime
scene, in a vehicle, on victim and/or suspect’s clothing,
or on discarded evidence such as knives, firearms and
other weapons. The instructional atmosphere will be
informal and the dress attire will be casual.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. The participants should acquire a working
knowledge of current bloodstain pattern terminology.
COURSE INFORMATION
7. The participants will acquire the basic knowledge to
enable themselves to be prepared for courtroom
presentation of the bloodstain evidence that was
collected or documented.
WHAT TO BRING TO THE COURSE?
Casual attire and a digital camera with macro
capabilities are preferred.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This is a hand-on course that will continue where
the documentation class left off. It is specifically
designed for the Crime Scene Investigator or
Analyst designated to be responsible for the
detection, documentation and collection of
bloodstain evidence encountered at a crime scene
for the purpose of reconstruction. This course is
taught in a manner in which the Crime Scene
Investigator or Analyst can easily understand.
