This course is in addition to the two-day evidence management course that PATC offers. This course will provide an in-depth study of property and evidence from the moment of collection at a scene until final disposition. We will be reviewing United States Supreme Court rulings, and how they apply to the property room. This course will highlight many of the concerns and issues that face property room managers today. Our intention is to give property managers the necessary tools to succeed. All of the course material is based on Acceptable National Standards. Administrators are encouraged to attend this training as well, in order to have a better understanding of the issues that plague department evidence personnel and how to prevent your agency from becoming a national news item. 
Upon completion of the course, evidence personnel will gain the knowledge necessary to set the foundation for success in the property room. As with all successes, there must be middle and senior management acknowledgment and support to implement the changes that need to be made.
