The History of Forensic Science

Join Simon Dell at 6:30pm on Thursday 30th May at Tavistock Guildhall in the former Courtroom for his presentation "The History of Forensic Science".

 Simon will be joined for his presentation by Amy Tolcher, who is one of the volunteers at the Tavistock venue of the Museum of Policing in Devon and Cornwall. Amy has worked at the Forensic Science department at Police Headquarters for over 20 years. Between them they will cover the hundreds of years of forensic history right up to the 21st Century.
 
Please be aware that this presentation, by its very nature, will also include aspects of forensic science involving murder investigation etc with accompanying images so we ask for attendance to be restricted to over 16s. Whilst the images are not significantly worse than is seen on television these days we acknowledge the sensitivity of the subject material and have no desire to cause any distress or offense.
 
The talk will last about an hour and is free, but donations to the work of the Guildhall is greatly appreciated
