Earning Criteria

Advanced Interviewing - Cognitive Memory Retrieval is an interviewing technique developed by memory researchers from the Behavioral Science Unit of the Los Angeles Police Department and from UCLA's Department of Psychology. Behavioral Analysis involves the analysis of non-verbal and verbal communications to determine if an interview subject is omitting information or, potentially, is being deceptive.
Advanced Investigative Analysis - Complaint Scene Analysis teaches how to develop a process of analytical thinking that assists the investigator in obtaining correct investigative information. Written Statement Analysis includes techniques for identifying omissions and potential deception in a written statement. Many boards or agencies obtain a written statement from licensees, complainants and witnesses during or even before an investigation.
Investigative Report Development - This program consists of information & practical exercises to improve an investigator's written reports. The course approaches report development as an integrated process, used from the beginning to the end of an investigation; one that clarifies the investigative path and improves thoroughness and accuracy. Topics include: Developing report formats. Reporting descriptive observation and activities. Reporting interview information. Obtaining written statements.
