Trained Forensic Services personnel have the capability to perform bloodstain pattern interpretation. This analysis can be performed in the laboratory setting or at crime scenes. During violent events, blood can form distinctive patterns that provide valuable information about what occurred. By studying these patterns, scientists can help reconstruct events and evaluate statements made during an investigation. Bloodstain pattern analysis may be able to help investigators determine the direction blood traveled, the location of the blood source when the pattern was created, and movements that occurred during or after bloodshed.
