Currently collaborating with Dr. Henry Lee, Director of the State of Connecticut Forensic Laboratory, including an invitation to Wilson to deliver a speech to his forensic laboratory officials discussing digital imaging issues for law enforcement applications. Dr. Lee who has written over 30 books and hundreds of other publications, has agreed to participate in Wilson’s next project, a comprehensive work dealing with educating the law enforcement community and particularly crime lab technicians in the field of digital evidence collection techniques, storage, retrieval, security and archival methodologies. Once completed this new work to be titled “Principles of Forensic Digital Photography - A comprehensive desk reference and operating procedure for agency officials and crime scene technicians” is targeted for use as a desktop reference manual for Crime Laboratory technicians and law enforcement officials nationally; it will also be targeted for use as training aid by Police Academies across the country. These efforts have given direct experience with publication deadlines, use of common computer software tools to produce publisher grade works, including concept, design, creativity, photography, graphics, prototype creation, production, and copywriter issues, permissions and contracts.
