Basics of Impression Evidence

For this assignment you will assume the role of a trained lab analyst. You oversee the impression evidence department and have been asked to mentor the new laboratory technicians who were just hired. As someone with knowledge of impression-style evidence, you must create an informative training session on the basics of impression evidence.

Create a PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:
Slide 1: Title slide
Slide 2: Introduction about pattern recognition
Slides 3 and 4: Identify the type of documentation sought in impression evidence of footwear and tire tracks
Slides 5, 6, and 7: Explain the collection methods of footwear impression evidence and tire impression evidence
Slides 8 and 9: Explain impression versus source (include a photograph of a shoeprint or impression, be sure to photograph it at 90 degrees and with a ruler, then include a photograph of the bottom of the shoe that created it)
Slide 10: Conclusion
Slide 11: References

Your PowerPoint presentation must be 11 slides in length, including a title slide and a reference slide. You are required to include speaker notes for each slide to communicate your thoughts and ideas thoroughly. If you would prefer, audio voiceover can be utilized in place of slide notes. 

In addition to the photographs required for this assignment, use at least two additional images, graphics, SmartArt, and/or backgrounds that enhance your presentation and make it look professional, clean, and visually attractive. However, do not allow images or graphs to dominate the slides. Support your presentation with at least one academically credible source, which may be your textbook. Citations and references for any outside sources that are used will need to be formatted according to APA Style.
