Advanced Footwear Impression Examination Class

 Announcement! Advanced Footwear Impression Examination Class Instructors: Date & Location: William J. Bodziak & Lesley Hammer September 12-­‐16, 2016 Department of Safety, State of New Hampshire 33 Hazen Drive, Concord, New Hampshire 03305 $850 Cost: The goal of this course is to explore issues that arise once an examiner is actively working footwear impression evidence cases and to further develop their ability to arrive at and communicate their conclusions. Course Description: This 4½ day course will apprise experienced examiners of new research, techniques, products, manufacturing updates and other topics that are relevant to maintain and improve their current proficiency in this discipline. The course will include challenging casework issues, include joint work on case samples and examples and explore accurate and reliable conclusions through hands on examination and active discussions. This course will address the composition of a thorough examination method; the complete documentation and recording of that method in accordance with current standards; and will focus on reporting in a manner that transparently, clearly and completely conveys results and opinions of the examiner. Pre-­‐requisites and other information: This course is designed for law enforcement and laboratory personnel who conduct forensic examination of footwear evidence and render opinions and provide written reports in this discipline. Because the level of instruction in this course will presume some basic knowledge and experience in this field, this class is not recommended for new examiners or those with minimal prior training. A small amount of preparation on the part of the participants may be requested prior to the course.

Reservation Procedure: reservations will be made by individuals calling the front desk directly at (603) 2249534 or visiting the following on-line booking link: Footwear Class - overnight room discount
A credit card number will be needed to make a reservation; however, no deposit is required.
Cancellation Policy: an individual can cancel until 4:00pm day of arrival; after 4:00pm, a one night charge
{assuming the reservation was for multiple nights} will be applied to the credit card on the reservation.
Payment: it is our understanding that all charges will be the responsibility of the individual guest.
Cut-Off Date: the above stated rooms will be held until 30 days prior to the group’s arrival (August 11,
2016), at which time any unused rooms will be released and available to the general public. If the 15 rooms
are reserved before the cutoff date, the hotel will continue to accept reservations at the group rate until the
hotel is 75% occupied (unable to predict when that will occur) at which time regular rates will apply. The
decision to hold more rooms is the sole discretion of the sales manager and may result in an attrition clause
{where the client will be financially obligated for a percentage of rooms if they are not booked}. Please note
that if there are no reservations made 60 days prior to arrival, the hotel will cancel the room block under the
assumption that the event has either cancelled or another hotel was selected.
It is the client’s responsibility to periodically touch base with the hotel to see how many rooms
have been reserved; if the group rate is still available; and what our expected occupancy is as of that
moment. You will not be notified when your block is full or when the group rate is no longer being honored.
Check-In & Check-Out: check-in is not guaranteed until 3:00pm; we will accept early arrival if a room is
ready, but the only way to guarantee an early arrival is to pay for the night before. In addition, check-out is
11:00am; group members staying in their room past check-out time will be charged another night.
