Location:

Burlington County Emergency Services Training Center

The New Jersey Chapter of the International Association of Arson Investigators (NJIAAI) constantly strives to serve our members with the best possible fire investigation training, information, and networking opportunities. Fire scenes and charred evidence items can pose a particular challenge to investigators trying to properly document items and structures during and after a fire incident. It’s important that investigators are able to take quality photos of a wide variety of subjects in conditions that are often wet, dark and exposed to the elements. This 16 hour hands-on course is designed to not only familiarize beginner to intermediate level students with the principles of forensic photography, but to also establish skills documenting crime scenes, evidence items, subjects, injuries, vehicles, and much more. For the course, each attendee is required to bring: any camera equipment normally carried for investigations, tripod, flashlight, and measuring device. 

The course fee is $325.00 for Members (IAAI or NJIAAI Chapter) and $400.00 for Non-Members.

*Additionally, each attendee will receive a 16GB SD Card*

*Class size is limited to 30 attendees
