Course Description


The purpose of this four day seminar is to enable the student:

  • To identify the best technique, or series of techniques, for developing the maximum evidence

  • To understand and exploit fluorescence as a powerful detection strategy, using a range of Forensic Light Sources

  • To record impression evidence faithfully and accurately

  • To prepare and use the chemical reagents safely in a laboratory environment.

The student will learn about lasers and light sources as key forensic technology, as well as the principles behind
luminescence detection of evidence.

Techniques targeting tapes (adhesive side), blood prints on porous and nonporous surfaces will be featured.

The student will learn how to use multiple techniques in the correct sequence on many surfaces for maximum results.

The student will learn conventional, atypical and digital photographic techniques for extracting the clearest and most useful images.

This course will feature hands-on sessions in exhibit processing and photography, as well as an examination and certificate of completion.

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR  

Brian E. Dalrymple
 

In 1971 Brian Dalrymple began a career in identification with the Ontario, Canada Provincial Police, Forensic Identification Services. In 1977 he co-developed the technique of evidence detection with argon lasers through inherent fluorescence and became the first in the world to operate an argon laser for the detection of evidence in criminal investigations. The extensions of this technology are now in global use and have provided crucial evidence in hundreds of major investigations.

In 1991, as Associate Section Head, he introduced the first Computer Evidence Enhancement System to Canada, and later became the first Canadian to tender expert evidence in this discipline. In 1992 he was promoted to Manager, Forensic Identification Services, a position he held until his retirement in 1999. He initiated and co-wrote the Body Examination Protocol for the Province of Ontario, Canada.

Brian Dalrymple has taught extensively in North America and the Middle East. He is the recipient of the John Dondero Award (1980, IAI), the Award of Merit (1980, Institute of Applied Science), the Foster Award (1982, the Canadian Identification Society) and the Lewis Minshall Award (1984, Fingerprint Society). Brian has also been awarded numerous performance citations, including three Commissioner’s Commendations. He has published extensively in the disciplines of luminescence detection, photography of evidence, and digital enhancement of evidence and served as a contributing author in the Encyclopedia of Forensic Sciences (Academic Press – 2000).

Brian Dalrymple is currently an instructor at the Ontario Police College, and provides forensic consulting for police agencies, private sector and attorneys. He has joined the Ron Smith & Associates, Inc. team of forensic experts as a consultant and staff instructor.
