MURFREESBORO — MTSU’s 2015 Death Scene
Investigation Workshop, set Wednesday, April 22, wants to help the people who examine
highly dangerous sites of deaths stay safe while they do their jobs.
The free workshop, called “Death
Scene Investigation: Know Your Risks,” is presented by MTSU’s Forensic
Institute for Research and Education and will be held in the Student Union
Ballroom. A searchable campus map with parking details is available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParking14-15.
It’s open
to the public but will be of special interest to those in law enforcement
agencies, first responders such as emergency medical services and fire
personnel, social workers and medical examiners.
With the
help of professionals from various specialties, including Dr. Hugh Berryman,
MTSU professor of anthropology and the director of the Forensic Institute for
Research and Education, the workshop will help investigators learn how to
examine highly dangerous death scenes, including methamphetamine labs, scenes
of carbon monoxide and dioxide poisoning, electrocution, infectious disease and
more.
Attendees
also will be able to earn Continuing
Education Unit or Continuing Professional Education credits for the workshop.
