Training Goals and Objectives

The goal of the training program is to prepare the Investigator and Investigative Supervisor to conduct, render, and manage suspects, victims, and witnesses in highly prescribed methods and techniques to obtain statements and confessions during a case investigation from initial response through needed follow-up.
 
The course will be directed at an approach to obtain confessions, witness and victim statements while conducting an investigation. Several areas will be addressed; each area by it self is an area of expertise requiring detailed individual course instruction.
 
In addition, the course will include an intense overview of criminal behavior and the understanding of behavior as it relates to the traditional forms of evidence, forensic, circumstantial, eyewitness, and confession. This will enable students to determine a course of action in scripting the interview or interrogation towards the behaviors analyzed from the suspect, witness, or victim.

The course is designed to run 0800 to 1600 hours daily, but can be adjusted for evenings and extended days as needed.
