We in the Chemistry Department at Kansas City Kansas Community College have the good fortune to have in house an active forensic laboratory testing drug samples for the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department. As a result we have been able to design an analytic techniques course to fit in a Forensic Science Associate Degree program which combines an introduction to evidence handling, laboratory record keeping, chain of custody issues, and expert witnessing with basic instruction in the theory and techniques of organic analysis. The students get hands-on experience analyzing samples using FTIR, gas chromatography, and GC/MS. We also include exercises covering the basic phenomenology of NMR spectroscopy and an introduction to DNA analysis using PCR and gel electrophoresis
