Description
Many law enforcement agencies lack a dedicated death investigation unit, requiring uniform officers and supervisors to assume greater responsibility at death scenes. This two-day training provides first responders and supervisors with the knowledge, skills, and procedures necessary to conduct thorough initial and follow-up investigations into deaths.
Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and practical guidance, participants will gain an understanding of postmortem changes, scene management, legal considerations, and investigative techniques applicable to all types of death investigations. The course also addresses high-profile and complex cases, such as officer-involved shootings and in-custody deaths.
