This is the only POST certified Advanced Internal Affairs Investigation course specially created for experienced IA investigators (homicide investigators are encouraged to attend also) and is designed to qualify you as an expert witness for testifying for related legal hearings. The course focuses primarily on special investigative issues which experienced investigators will face. The course will address “best practices” investigative process, applicable legal and policy standards, and “gap” identification/analysis. Course content covers relevant statutes and case law pertaining to “Hot Button” issues and important updates on POBR and IA case law. The course also addresses current issues and concerns (political, media, etc.) which confront agencies and the instructors will share their “insider” perspectives on these issues and cases.
