Course Description

Introductory Child Abuse Investigations

A comprehensive guideline from initial reporting to court testimony





Materials and Prerequisites: Officers are encouraged to bring a Crimes Code and highlighter. Officers should have a minimum of two years patrol experience. A PowerPoint will be utilized in combination with lecture.



Goal and Purpose

Child Abuse cases are time consuming and challenging investigations. An infant cannot tell you how they were injured. There are often no witnesses. A delay in reporting or continuous questioning will all impact the outcome of the case. A successful conviction can be destroyed by the inexperience of a newer officer. The investigation is shared with social services, health care professionals, the school, the CAC and a variety of other stakeholders. How will a 5-year-old testify against their dad? How will the Officer solicit a willing confession from the suspect?



Officers will be introduced to a thorough review of Crimes Code Statutes relative to Child Abuse Investigations and how to prioritize the cases. They will follow initial investigative steps from Basic Fact-Finding Interviews to Basic Crime Scene Investigation.



A comprehensive guideline on how to interview and understand sexual deviant behavior and prepare for a solid Interrogation will be introduced. Day 2 will continue to challenge the Officer by introducing more advanced practices such as Search Warrants and surveillance. They will be acquainted with more difficult cases to investigate such as SIDS, shaken baby and Human Trafficking.



An articulate Officer, who can aptly document their actions is an investigative must. Therefore, report writing skills will be reinforced. The lesson will end with Court room testimony.

It is the goal of this two-day class to build on the skills learned in the Police Academy and Patrol. The officer should leave with a substantial understanding of how these cases work and a suggested protocol to follow when investigating them. Upon successful completion of this class, a novice officer, unfamiliar with these complicated cases, should be able to handle an investigation with confidence.



Examples will be provided from the presenter/s experience and case law will be referenced. Obstacles such as false reports, medical conditions and poor witnesses will be reviewed.

Participants:

This lecture is recommended for the new officer, new detective or supervision.
