Investigative Training: A Method and Mindset

Legal, Ethical, Relentless…

When your next “Elephant Case” hits, you need first investigators (patrol) and detectives working as a team with a known process, plan, and mindset to get answers fast.

We’ve mapped out how the best departments handle career-defining cases. Our Investigative Training is modeled on 30 years of studying successes and failures of basic and complex cases. This investigative Method and Mindset work on “Elephant Cases” as well as everyday theft cases. Your team will have the Investigative blueprint to solve all cases after this training.

Value for Your Department

  • Protect Against High-Profile Case Failures: When the media and community are watching, systematic processes ensure your officers are prepared and your reputation stays intact.
  • Build Community Trust: Consistent, professional investigations demonstrate competency and build public confidence.
  • Save Time and Money: Shorter, more efficient investigations reduce costs while improving case outcomes.
  • Investigations as a Team: Dispatch, patrol, and detectives follow the same proven process—no more communication breakdowns.  Teamwork builds agency comraderies

Value for Officers Who Attend

  • Get Master-Level Tools: Learn the systematic blueprint investigation approach that your best detectives use instinctively.
  • Prevent Case-Breaking Mistakes: Built-in safeguards keep investigations objective and help you avoid tunnel vision.
  • Build Defensible Cases: A Systematic method that holds up under scrutiny, especially in high-stakes situations.
  • Work with Confidence: No more hoping you’ll “figure it out;” you’ll have a proven Method and Mindset that work every time.
