The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services is pleased to offer this two-day “Homicide Investigations Training” presented by the Dolan Consulting Group.
This class is focused on the proper management of scenes involving unattended deaths. The class begins with a review of basic crime scene and investigative principles, and then moves into the specific topic of managing scenes involving death.
This class will address the recognition, identification, interpretation and documentation of signs of death, and how these skills work together to further the investigative process. It will also address basic issues which arise during death investigations, such as legal authority while handling the crime scene, and issues which may arise during the interviews and interrogations of involved parties.
This class is highly interactive and calls on the attendee to use the knowledge from the class to interpret crime scenes and organize an investigative plan. The attendee will be presented with actual scenarios from real investigations.
This training is intended for sworn law enforcement officers only.
Partial In-service Credit (PIC) for sworn Virginia law enforcement officers is available (2.5 hours legal, 11.5 hours career).
Participants are responsible for their transportation and lodging arrangements and expenses.
Check in will begin at 7:30 a.m. and course will be held from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m each day
