Instructor: Glenn Langenburg

Course Description:

Conflicting opinions in friction ridge examinations are inevitable events.  Some agencies do not have a policy for resolving conflict; some that do have them are not very specific.  How are examiners supposed to “see if they can resolve the conflict” if there are not specific recommendations and clear instructions for doing so?  This webinar explores concrete methods for resolving conflict and deciding what to report.  We will use case examples to illustrate specific scenarios and how to resolve them.

NOTE: This course will use the 2018 Proposed OSAC Conclusion Scale as a means of conversing about examiners’ opinions.  Attendees need not have attended “Implementing the Expanded OSAC Conclusion Scale” webinar, but it will be helpful in this course.

Length: 4 hours
