'CSI' San Diego-style

San Diego Police Department DNA criminalist Tami Ballard will be the San Diego Archaeological Center’s March 8 Visiting Scholar.

Her presentation, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., will include an introduction to forensic biology (DNA), specifically fluids used in crime scene reconstruction and investigation.

The San Diego Police Department has a full-service crime laboratory which analyzes physical evidence collected at crime scenes. Laboratory workers trained in photography, latent print development, evidence collection and crime scene reconstruction participate in major scene investigations.
