We’re pleased to share highlights from one of our recent International Association for Identification (IAI) half-day workshops on Bloodstain Pattern Analysis on Fabrics, focusing on clothing, and Methodology for Identifying Voids.

Fifteen participants—including an attendee from Japan—joined the session with Tom "Grif" Griffin, which combined approximately two hours of lecture with two hours of hands-on practical exercises. Working in teams, attendees examined multiple sets of clothing and footwear, documented bloodstain appearance and location, practiced core documentation procedures, and evaluated whether the observed stains supported, refuted, or remained neutral regarding specific case scenarios. Most teams completed three to four scenario sets during the practical portion.

Thank you to everyone who attended!

Bevel, Gardner & Associates is proud to recognize Tom "Grif" Griffin for his continued leadership in the forensic science community.

As a member of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Organization of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC) Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Subcommittee, Grif recently participated in the Crime Scene Scientific Area Committee (SAC) meeting held July 14–16 at the NIST campus in Boulder, Colorado.

During the three-day meeting, members of the Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Subcommittee reviewed existing documents before they are released for public comment or forwarded to the American Academy of Forensic Sciences Standards Board (ASB) Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Consensus Body for further review and development. These documents help establish and refine best practices and standards that strengthen the forensic science community.

We appreciate Grif's commitment to advancing the field through standards development, collaboration, and scientific excellence.
