Video Examinations for the Police Investigator: Online Edition
For years, we have offered “Video Examinations for the Police Investigator,” a hands-on training course that our team has taught law enforcement agencies across the United States and Canada.
We are proud to announce that this course is now available online. We look forward to providing this training content to a wider audience than ever before through an engaging and interactive digital platform.
Video is the most prolific source of evidence available today, and yet many officers who interact with video have had no training on how to leverage it. The class is designed to help investigators, command staff, and others understand both the challenges and benefits of video-centric investigations.
The course consists of two different 4-hour modules (see below). Once you register yourself or your team, you will receive a voucher that can be applied to any upcoming dates (more classes will continue to be added). In addition, feel free to contact us if you’re interested in hosting an upcoming online class.
