Advanced Law Enforcement Photography Training Program (ALEPTP)
The ALEPTP is designed for qualified law enforcement officers, criminal investigators, crime scene technicians, and civilians who have a fundamental understanding of digital photography.
Students will be assisted in achieving a level of proficiency to successfully complete essential crime scene, close-up, investigative, and surveillance photographic assignments.
This proficiency will come as a result of in depth classroom instruction followed by hands on use of various digital cameras, lenses, flash attachments, shooting platforms, night vision equipment, computers, software, and printers in actual field situations.
Upon completion of the exercises, the students will learn how to properly transfer and save the captured images for evidentiary use, enhance images were required utilizing contemporary software products such as Adobe Photoshop®, insert images into case files, and ultimately prepare and print images for court presentation.
