Certificate of Advanced Study in Firearm and Tool Mark Examination in Syracuse United States | Syracuse University

This Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) serves both aspiring firearm and toolmark examiners and newly appointed professionals requiring training. The field faces a significant demand for qualified firearm and toolmark examiner education. Typically, even after securing a position, examiners undergo two or more years of training before handling cases independently. This process proves especially costly for smaller agencies that lack the advantage of training multiple candidates simultaneously. While this CAS doesn't cover all necessary training, it offers a valuable foundation or enhancement to existing programs. Participants may also apply these courses toward a Syracuse University graduate degree.
