This course is intended for bloodstain pattern practitioners who have completed basic Bloodstain Pattern Analysis training and want to expand their foundational knowledge. Textiles are among the most challenging surfaces a bloodstain pattern analyst may encounter. During this workshop, attendees will examine how fabric composition, construction, and treatments affect resulting bloodstains. The course will cover appropriate methods for working with fabric evidence and include hands-on practical exercises to reinforce lecture concepts. A final practical examination will give students the opportunity to strengthen their BPA analysis and report-writing skills using clothing items.


The training will also include dedicated time for examining bloodstains in digital photographic case files, helping students improve their skills and better understand the limitations of these file types.



Toby L. Wolson is a nationally recognized forensic science expert with more than three decades of experience in forensic biology and bloodstain pattern analysis.
