In criminal defense, most investigators struggle to get the training they need to conduct thorough investigations. Investigators in private practice don’t have many comprehensive training options available to them that they can do anytime, anywhere. 

This problem extends to large organizations like public defender’s offices, law offices, and nonprofits, which don’t have comprehensive training programs for their in-house investigators. It takes a lot of time, expertise, effort, and budget to compile in-house training—and this is simply not feasible for most organizations.

This general lack of training leads to a status quo where new investigators often have to learn by trial and error, which can be stressful and risky to clients (not to mention the pressure that places on new investigators). 

 

There Is Another Way

The solution is a training program that:

  • provides in-depth training, touching on all the most relevant topics to criminal defense investigators
  • presents knowledge from industry experts with a proven track record
  • eliminates the need for in-house training and all the hassle that comes with that 
  • gives investigators peace of mind, knowing they are certified and trained by the best of the best to conduct thorough, professional investigations.

That training program is finally here.
