Templates
(15-0222) With the help of provided
figures and scales, you can re-create any crime
scene in sketch form. Set up the exact appearance
of any room on the Crime Scene Template -- it
shows a variety of furniture and plumbing fixtures
common to households or businesses, as well as a
few human figures. Also, assemble people to
indicate many forms and angles of position, using
either front, back or side views, using the Human
Figure Template. The average female form provides
scale heights from 4' 6" to 6' 3", and 4' 6" to 6'
6" for the average male. The Traffic Template
outlines vehicles, structures, and symbols for
accident re-creation. The conversion scale for all
templates is 1/4" = 1', with a small section of
the crime scene template at 1/10" = 1'. Size of
Crime Scene and Human Template: 8 1/2" x 11". Size
of Traffic Template: 8" x 4"

Drag
Sled (15-6268) Apply Coefficient
of Friction Principles to Your Forensics LessonsLarger
image Determine the amount of force necessary to
create different tire skid marks. Taking into
account the composition of the ground or roadway
surface and the weight of the vehicle, this
revolutionary sled establishes the force that
created specific tire skid marks. Made of durable
plastic, it features a tire tread mounted on the
bottom surface, a secured metal eye bolt, and 15
lbs. of weight included the container. The
external and internal trays enable you to organize
and transport your extra accident investigation
supplies in the field. Size: 15"L x 7 1/2"W x 9"H.
