This two-day, highly practical training equips new detectives and patrol officers with the fundamental skills and frameworks required to launch, manage, and close criminal investigations with confidence and clarity. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the investigative process — from the moment a crime is reported through the courtroom.

Led by veteran investigator and multi-jurisdictional team leader Kelly Ducak, this course delivers proven procedures, legal considerations, and hands-on experience through detailed crime scenarios. Whether you’re transitioning into a detective role or want to sharpen your investigative readiness, this course builds the mindset and methods every serious investigator needs.

You’ll leave with the skills to handle crime scenes, collect and preserve evidence, conduct ethical interviews and interrogations, and write clear, defensible reports that hold up in court.
