This free, one-day workshop provides a hands-on, start-to-finish look at how modern forensic technology is used to document, analyze, and present crash and crime scenes. Led by current and former law-enforcement instructors, the training simulates real investigative workflows and demonstrates how today’s tools support efficient, courtroom-ready results.
There are three exciting tracks offered during the event, and participants may register for ONE of the following tracks:
- Crash Investigation (Full Day)
- Crime Scene Investigation (Full Day)
- Search & Rescue UAS (Afternoon Only)
- How to document crash and crime scenes using GNSS, 3D laser scanning, drones, forensic software, INSonar, and related technologies
- How to process and prepare scene data for reporting and courtroom presentation
- Best practices for crash reconstruction and crime scene documentation
- How NDAA / Blue List–compliant UAS systems support search, overwatch, and scene awareness in public safety operations
- How AI-assisted tools can be used to rapidly locate missing persons, improving response time and search effectiveness
- Field-to-finish workflows using tools such as Pix4D, Trimble laser scanners, GNSS, Trimble Forensics Reveal, and Measutronics INSonar
Participants will receive an IPTM-issued training certificate for the track they attend (Crash Investigation, Crime Scene, or Search & Rescue UAS).
Please note that the Crash Investigation and Crime Scene tracks are full-day sessions, while the Search & Rescue UAS track is a standalone afternoon session, with an optional lunch available. Attendees registered for the Crash or Crime Scene tracks will not have access to the UAS session; however, the Crash Investigation track will include relevant UAS components.
- Full Day
- Crash & Collision Track: Experience a live simulated crash scene. Attendees document and reconstruct the scenario as if preparing a complete case file for the State Attorney’s Office. This track includes crash scene mapping techniques, including UAS-based mapping, and best practices for data collection, processing, and presentation. Participants will receive an IPTM training certificate upon completion of this track.
- Crime Scene Track: Work through a “body found in a pond” recovery scenario, including above- and below-water documentation. Attendees will see how INSonar technology is used to locate submerged evidence, support recovery efforts, and document findings that are later processed and presented in investigative reports. Participants will receive an IPTM training certificate upon completion of this track.
- Afternoon Only
- Search & Rescue Using Florida-Compliant UAS: A hands-on session focused on search and rescue overwatch, UAS deployment best practices, and Florida-compliant drone operations. Attendees will see how AI-driven tools can be used to quickly locate missing persons, improving situational awareness and search efficiency. Participants will receive an IPTM training certificate upon completion of this track.
