Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) established the Forensic Institute for Research and Education (FIRE) in summer 2006. The institute, under the director of nationally known forensic anthropologist Dr. Hugh Berryman, brings together faculty and students in several scientific specialties to provide exceptional educational and training opportunities for law enforcement, medical examiners, coroners, attorneys, social workers, and other groups in forensic science and Homeland Security. FIRE also fosters research collaboration and grant development among faculty.

 

If you would like me to add you to our email list to be able to receive our newsletter, training announcements, such as the eight hour P.O.S.T. approved Forensic Computer Training that is scheduled for January 8, 2008, the Counter-Terrorism training being planned for April and the Search and Recovery training coming in May just email me to let me know.

 

We are excited that the Institute is located on the MTSU campus and are working to provide P.O.S.T. approved training and provide lectures by distinguished speakers at no cost to the public such as Dr. William Bass, who spoke March 2007, Dr. Doug Owsley, who spoke October 2007, and Dr. Clyde Snow, who will lecture March 26, 2008.

 

The institute has applied for a grant and we need your help. One of the questions that they want clarification on is "How much money is spent on training outside the state?" I have been busy calling departments but time is running out and I haven't made a dent in the number of departments in the state. Is there a way to forward this email to the trainers and have them to shoot me an email with an estimated amount of dollars spent for out of state training?  I need the information as soon as I can get it.

 

If you get a chance, feel free to click on our website link below and go to the workshops area.  There you will find the training that is available at this time and details about each. We would like feedback from Trainers on any training needs not provided by the department or academy that we can provide.

 

If we can be of service to the trainers, let us know. Feel free to contact our office, if you have questions.

 

Sincerely,
