We are looking for qualified trainers to provide instruction our AFTE members in the field of Firearms and Tool Mark Examination. The FERC is considering offering several general courses with a standardized curriculum and set compensation for the instructor(s) in the areas of gunshot residue distance determination, serial number restoration, tool mark identification, trajectory reconstruction, and specialized techniques for firearms and tool marks identification. If you feel you have the capabilities to teach a course, please fill out the application below with as much detail as you can.
