Have you ever wondered if what you write about police and crime scene investigations is correct? Terri Benson, a 2023 attendee of the Writer’s Police Academy will give you the inside scoop she received. Included will be some tidbits on:
• SWAT responses
• Crime scene investigation (including the difference between crime scene labs and forensics), who does what at a crime scene
• Death investigations
• Force Option Continuum (how officers respond to a situation and the steps they go through to try and control the outcome)
• Coroners
• Serial Killer investigations
• Cold Case Investigation
• Search Warrants
• Pills, powders, and drugs

A life-long writer, Terri is traditionally and self-published in novel length, with nearly a hundred articles and short stories published – many award winning. She was the Education Chair for Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers for more than seven years, is an irregular blogger (in more ways than one), member of RMFW, Sisters in Crime, and Rocky Mountain Mystery Writers, presents workshops at writer’s conferences, and teaches night classes at CMU Tech (formerly Western Colorado Community College). Terri spends her non-writing time working at a non-profit Community Foundation, and enjoys camping, hiking, and gardening. For more information go to: https://www.terribensonwriter.com/
