I
send you my regards from Britain.
The weather has now started to
settle and we cannow see the
sunshine from time to time and it
most certainly feels like it is
almost summer.
It is now May 2015 and it
has been a learning curve
for myself for the last
couple of months. I have
been using several websites
and tools trying to
familiarize myself with
writing "The Examiner" and
thanks to the help and
advice from Daryl, this has
journey been been a joy.
Over the next few editions
of "The Examiner" we will be
trialing the use of specific
themes whereby several
aspects of crime scene
investigation will be
explored. This month's
edition, we will be
exploring earprints.
Throughout this newsletter,
I have include a series of
"short paragraphs" where
different sections of them
are underlined. If you click
on these sentences they will
open new websites for more
information and more details
about earprint evidence.
Should you have any
questions or comments or if
you would like to contribute
in future newsletters,
please do not hesitate to
contact me through this

Director's Letter
Greetings Members!
By the time this is published our CSI
Conference will be in the final stages
and begin on the 19th. I hope to see
many of you there!
I have been working out the of the
country for the past month training the
Scenes of Crimes Technicians in Belize.
They will have graduated the almost year
long program on the 14th and several of
them will be at the conference. It is
the same program I have been teaching
the last 18 years at the University but
expanded for Jamaica and Belize. It will
be good to see them both at the
conference.
At the conference we will also bestow
Certification to the two that have
recently earned it from the British
Virgin Islands. If you are not familiar
with the Certification process you will
find it posted on our web site.
Speaking of the web site we have a
problem. I have been running the web
site from the beginning and I have used
a program called FrontPage which has not
been supported by MicroSoft for several
years. I have just received news that
our current web host service will no
longer support FrontPage as of June
1st. Bad timing as it is difficult to
do anything drastic with it while I am
out of country. But it is also time to
upgrade the web site. I will be seeking
someone to take over the web site,
unfortunately we are still at the
volunteer phase. The funding for full
support web design and running it is
just not there, yet. So if you or
someone you know wants to volunteer and
have web site design experience we would
love to hear from you. If you have any
suggestion we also love to hear from
you. I will do everything I can to make
the web site does not crash while we
seek additional help.
Daryl Clemens has done an outstanding
job in being the Editor from the
beginning. He has opted to step down as
the Editor and Kyprianos (Kyp) Georgiou
will be the new editor with this issue
being his first. Please give Kyp your
full support. Thanks Daryl for all the
hard work over the years.
Hopefully see you all at the conference!

Just a gentle remind that the conference

There is a great agenda put together and
