Law enforcement can exploit this misconception during undercover operations to strategically utilize the female officer for a tactical advantage. Techniques will be presented during this training course to maximize the use of female officers during undercover operations. Female undercover officers face specific problems unique to their gender.

Across the United States, criminal investigators spend countless hours attempting to solve a case. Regardless of the type of investigation, the primary goals are to successfully prosecute a suspect and obtain justice to the crime victims and their families. Very rarely is an investigation conducted in a “perfect” manner. Investigators are human and make errors. Often, these errors are unintentional; however, the investigator does not realize the importance of aggressively correcting the error. Skilled defense attorneys scrutinize the investigation looking for any type of inconsistency or error made by the investigator or other law enforcement officials that worked the case. It is critical that investigators are aware of common errors made during criminal investigations. This course was designed by numerous instructors based on interviews and feedback with hundreds of criminal investigators from across the United States and Canada.

Over the course of the career of most police officers and detectives, the likelihood of being sent to a report of a suicide is much greater than that of most other scenes involving the death of a human being. The suicide crime scene is one of the most difficult crime scenes to investigate. This crime scene carries with it the temptation to decide of the cause of death as suicide, long before the facts and available evidence can support that determination. The emotional impact of suicide on the surviving family members and friends makes this scene even more difficult to investigate than some homicide scenes. No one wants to believe that the investigator has reached the wrong conclusion. They believe that the investigation was conducted poorly, incompetently, or unprofessionally. The detective conducting this crime scene investigation needs to be ready to have his or her work questioned by the surviving family of the victim. A crime scene that has been processed correctly will assist the detective in answering those questions. This course will assist investigators in recognizing suicide vs. homicide and will provide in-depth cases studies to help illustrate the various teaching points.
Successful overdose death investigations rely on a comprehensive strategy to target all those responsible for the death. Using conspiracy laws as well as homicide laws, investigators across the United States have had success in bringing justice for the families of the victims. This training course is designed to equip law enforcement officers with the tools necessary to successfully conduct and prosecute and drug-related overdose case.
