This work is intended to be used in a formal training program that will establish a certain minimum standard of professional competency throughout the statewide branches of the Department of Forensic Science. 1.1.2 Certain inherent qualities of firearm and toolmark evidence prohibit the establishment of a rigid set of standard procedures to cover each and every case. Therefore, enough latitude has been given to allow for independent thought and individual freedom in selecting alternative courses of action. Upon completion of this program the employee will be thoroughly familiar with the options available to handle most pieces of evidence that will be encountered. 1.1.3 The sequence in which the tasks are presented in the outline should not necessarily be considered as a mandatory order ofCOPYRIGHT instruction. Exposure to legal aspects © and201 testimony8 will be continuous throughout the training. 1.1.4 Successful completion of Modules 1, 2, and 3 is required to function independently as an FLS II. The remaining modules shall be completed to function independently as an FLS III.

Completion of modules 4, 5, 6 and 7 should take approximately 4-5 months for a fulltime employee and 8-10 months for a part time employee. 1.4 Location of Training Whenever practical, the bulk of an individual's training will occur in the lab to which they will be assigned. 1.5 Training Goals The FLS II training shall culminate so that the FLS has the following: The ability to properly handle forensic evidence. The ability to independently perform safety checks on submitted firearms. Perform QA/QC procedures. The FLS III training shall culminate so that the FLS has the following: The ability to independently prepare casework for examiner review. The ability to independently evaluate for safety and function and test fire all firearms evidence.

The ability to provide fact based testimony in court. 1.6 Instructions to the FLS 1.6.1 The FLS is expected to keep a notebook of information compiled for each Module of this manual. This notebook will be evaluated by the TC throughout the course of the training and by the PM and Quality Assurance Coordinator upon completion of the training. 1.6.2 The written answers to the study questions listed in each section will be used as reference material once qualified as an FLS. Therefore, references are to be listed for each answer whenever possible. The completed study questions are to be turned into the TC as scheduled. A list of useful references has been provided in the Reference section of each module. 1.6.3 References listed as “Required Reading” are required for an adequate understanding of the subject matter. Required readings are designated by section numbers listed after the assignment. COPYRIGHT © 2018 1.6.4 The FLS’s progress will be evaluated with written examinations, practical exercises, practical examinations, oral sessions, mock trials and competency examinations. Passing for a written examination is at least 85% correct responses. Passing for a practical examination is arriving at the expected result. 1.6.5 Oral sessions are question and answerVIRGIN sessions that willIA be conducted throughout the training period. They will be cumulative. There will be two different types of expected responses. First, there will be technical responses. Second,DEPARTMENT there will also be times where the FLS will need to respond as if speaking to a jury. It will be made clear which type of response is expected. The Oral Session Rubric shows the FLS what will be expected of them in these oral sessions. This rubric will be used to evaluate the FLS during the oral sessions. OF 1.6.6 The FLS should provideFORENSIC a weekly written progress SCIENCE report to the TC. 1.7 Instructions to the Training Coordinator 1.7.1 All of the listed topics must be incorporated into the program. Some of the topics will strongly suggest an order of events and this ranking should be followed. Any significant deviation from the manual must be approved by the PM. 1.7.2 The performance of the FLS will be evaluated during the course of the program. The TC must submit, every two weeks, written evaluations to the PM and Laboratory Director (See Appendix P – Quality Manual (QM) for a template).

Each module in the Firearms/Toolmark FLS Training Record must be initialed and dated upon completion of the specified task. If any task is not completed, for any reason, this must be explained in the training file and approved by the PM. 1.7.4 The TC will submit a written recommendation to the PM outlining the modules which may be omitted or modified and the justification for doing so. A copy of the approved recommendation will be placed in the training file. 1.7.5 Written and/or oral examination questions for each module will be selected or derived from the study questions and required readings by the TC. 1.7.6 The written and/or oral examination will be given in a “closed book” format. 240-D201 FX-TM Training Manual FLS Qualtrax ID: 2981 Issued by Physical Evidence Program Manager UNCONTROLLED Qualtrax Revision 3 Issue Date: 29-August-2018 Page 5 of 23 COPY 1 Introduction and Orientation 1.8 Completion of Training 1.8.1 FLS II Upon satisfactory completion of modules 1, 2 and 3, the TC will forward a copy of the signed training record to the Section Supervisor and PM for final qualification.
