Participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with cylinder manipulation techniques, such as picking, which involves using specialized tools to manipulate the pins inside the lock and open it without a key. They will also learn about the examination processes involved in forensic locksmithing, which can help them identify signs of tampering or other evidence related to the lock or the crime scene.

Days 2 & 3

Case examples:

The cases will be analysed from the initial instructions, through to the crime scene investigation and evidence collection process, all the way to the laboratory procedures involved in analysing the evidence and compiling findings.

Participants will be guided through the steps of preparing Court Compliant reports, which must adhere to certain legal and professional standards, and learn how to present their findings in a clear and concise manner. The course will also cover the process of preparing for litigation, including the use of expert testimony and presentation of evidence in court.

The review session will include a mix of classroom instruction, practical exercises, and case studies to help attendees solidify their understanding of investigative locksmithing techniques and procedures.
