Streszczenie
In Sweden there are almost 200 crime scene examiners and all of them make use of SKL – the National Laboratory of Forensic Science, as the major provider of forensic laboratory examinations in Sweden. A project team composed of staff from both the laboratory and the police authorities has compiled a training programme for crime scene examiners. This training is designed to qualify the students to approach all aspects of crime scene in a professional manner. The training extends over 16 weeks as sandwich training with lectures and practical exercises. Simulated crime scenes are arranged and the students have to examine a burglary scene, a rape scene, a murder scene and a fire scene examination. The students are required to critically assess the evidential value of the samples they have recovered and they will also get knowledge about investigations in a Forensic Science laboratory. Instructors and teachers are experienced crime scene examiners and staff from the Forensic Science Laboratory.
