This is City of Hillsboro Hillsboro PD Implements Crime Scene Investigation page menu

The City of Hillsboro and the Hillsboro Police Department recently implemented two crime scene investigator positions to enhance the department’s ability to process minor and major crime scenes.

In August 2009, Investigator Brian Orban and Roseann Cox became certified forensic technicians, after attending an 80 hour Forensic Technician course, in Lubbock, Texas.  The course was sponsored by TEEX through the Texas Forensic Science Academy.  Investigator Orban and Roseann Cox were trained in the proper procedures and methods of crime scene processing by using an array of items including, but not limited to, items specific for evidence collection.  During the course of training, Investigator Orban and Roseann Cox demonstrated a proficiency in the use of different tools, chemicals, and techniques used to process items at a crime scene.

Investigators use different tools, chemicals, and compounds to process a crime scene for latent fingerprints, blood and other serological evidence, as well as other trace evidence.  The implementation of crime scene investigators will lessen the time that detectives spend at a crime scene, allowing them to concentrate on identifying persons of interest, conducting interviews, apprehending violators and bringing closure to victims and their families.
