Forensic handwriting analysis remains a pivotal tool in solving complex criminal cases, from active gang investigations to long-standing cold cases. At Correctional Management Institute (CMIT) Conferences, Dr. Mozelle Martin provided in-depth forensic training tailored for law enforcement professionals, offering critical insights into criminal profiling, threat assessment, and investigative techniques.

Dr. Martin has presented at CMIT Conferences for multiple years, covering topics ranging from gang investigations and juvenile probation to mental health training for law enforcement and correctional professionals. Additionally, she has collaborated with the Cold Case Foundation (CCF) for many years, providing forensic handwriting analysis training for cold case investigations at the federal and international levels.

Cold Case Foundation: Using Forensic Handwriting to Solve Unsolved Crimes

Founded in late 2014, the Cold Case Foundation (CCF)  was established to support law enforcement in solving some of the most challenging cold cases—including homicides, missing persons, unidentified bodies, and serial sexual assaults. Led by seasoned experts, such as Executive Director Greg Cooper (retired FBI SSA, former Chief of Police) and Chairman Emeritus John Douglas (retired Chief of the FBI’s Investigative Support Unit, bestselling author), CCF specializes in criminal profiling, crime analysis, and investigative training.

CCF provides funding, consulting, training, networking, and victim support to law enforcement agencies working to close these cases. Since 2017, Dr. Mozelle Martin has collaborated with CCF to train federal investigators, reinforcing the role of forensic handwriting analysis in criminal investigations. This training has provided law enforcement with key insights into threat analysis, staged crime scenes, and suspect deception—enhancing their ability to close long-standing cold cases.

CMIT Gang Conference: Hands-On Training for Law Enforcement

At CMIT Conferences, Dr. Mozelle Martin delivers advanced forensic training tailored for law enforcement and correctional personnel. With over 500 officers, investigators, and crime analysts attending her sessions at CMIT alone, these workshops provided practical skills in:

✅ Identifying gang affiliations through handwriting and graffiti analysis
✅ Detecting deception & behavioral traits in suspect statements
✅ Forensic document examination in criminal profiling
✅ Analyzing handwriting for personality traits, aggression markers, and intent

By working with real-world case studies, participants learned how forensic handwriting analysis can enhance investigations beyond traditional forensic and digital evidence techniques.

Real-World Applications: How Forensic Handwriting Analysis Impacts Investigations

Dr. Martin has presented case studies demonstrating how forensic handwriting analysis has contributed to breakthroughs in active and cold cases. In some instances, anonymous threat letters, coded gang messages, and altered signatures have provided investigators with the missing link needed to solve cases. From analyzing prison gang graffiti to decoding suicide notes with staged elements, forensic handwriting analysis continues to serve as an invaluable tool in law enforcement investigations.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Forensic Training & Investigations

The role of forensic handwriting analysis in law enforcement continues to evolve. As part of her ongoing collaboration with the Cold Case Foundation, Dr. Mozelle Martin is contracted to train federal investigators nationwide, ensuring that handwriting analysis remains a critical investigative tool in solving complex criminal cases. Dr. Martin has provided forensic handwriting analysis training to small and large law enforcement agencies worldwide, including across the United States and for the Mexican Government. With 50+ pages of law enforcement references available, her expertise spans federal, state, and international investigations. The overwhelming response from law enforcement professionals highlights the growing demand for advanced forensic training—particularly in gang-related investigations, domestic terrorism, and cold cases.

Forensic handwriting analysis is more than just letters and strokes—it is about uncovering the truth hidden in every document.
