In 1971 Spalding joined the FBI as an agent. 2 years into his career he transferred to the Labratory Division. This is also known as the (Serology Unit). In these years of working in the Labratory, Spalding earned a name for himself. He earned this name by using his hand during bloodstain pattern analysis. He called this discovery (BPA). BPA allows police investigators to recreate potential locations and activities of the people or weapons that may have been involved in a crime scene. BPA stands for "bloodstain pattern analysis". This is the size, distribution, placement and shape of bloodstains. These are used to create the view of what happened at a crime scene. Spalding also came up with different meanings of blood spatters. For example Drips, smears and spatters can be generated as blood drops that radiate the impact of a blunts force or bullets. Many downfalls have been discovered about BPA as well. The US National Academy of Science also known as (NAS) has proven that BPA results have been used to convict suspects who were later found innocent. Since this became an issue the (NAS) has brought to the attention that we should reconsider the physics behind BPA.

In 1975 Spalding was asked to teach for the forensic science unit. Spalding thought at the Forensic Science Research and Training Center. Also known as the (FSRTC). He taught his discovery of blood splatter analysis and more to students. His teaching and contributions have had a significant impact on how crime scenes are investigated today. He brought many good things into the forensic science world with his teaching.  In 1999 he retired from working with the FBI.

Because blood behaves according to certain scientific principles, trained bloodstain pattern analysts can examine the blood evidence left behind and draw conclusions as to how the blood may have been shed. From what may appear to be a random distribution of bloodstains at a crime scene, analysts can…
