Ridges and Furrows - Education and Training

There are an abundance of learning opportunities on the internet. Taking into consideration that not everyone is looking for the same type of learning opportunity, I have divided them into three different categories.

If you know of any useful sites or learning opportunities related to forensic identification please send them along to Ridges and Furrows!

Thanks!

News from March - April 2002 issue of Minutiae (A publication from the Lightning Powder Company, manufacturers and distributors of crime scene investigation equipment.):

Rio Hondo College in Whittier, California created a 'Forensic Science Club'. The club is open to students who are interested in a career in forensics/law enforcement. The organizers have developed fundraising programs that have assisted club members in attending special workshops and conferences, providing opportunities to meet and interact with professionals in the field. Many of our readers are serving as adjunct professors and instructors at select colleges in the United States and elsewhere and may be interested in developing similar student clubs in their area. The university programs provide the forensic science community with prospective employees and future colleagues. Anyone seeking information can visit their website at www.fsclub.org or write to Professor Janis Cavanaugh, Rio Hondo Forensic Science Club, 3600 Workman Mill Road, Whittier, CA 90601-1699.
