Cold Case Homicide Investigation

The objective of this course is to describe in detail investigative techniques which have successfully solved several old, cold, unsolved, homicide cases through a discussion of not only the techniques and strategies utilized, but also through a comprehensive case study analysis, which utilizes real life, practical, hands on experiences to demonstrate how difficult and previously thought unsolvable cases could in fact be solved. Although the primary focus is on cold case homicides, the practical value from this seminar carries over to all aspects of criminal investigation and designed to make detectives better all around investigators.

Basic Accident Investigation for Patrol Officers

This course is presented by Tim Robbins who was previously an Accident Reconstructionist with the Michigan State Police. He is a traffic accident consultant and currently works as a Deputy for Arenac County Sheriff's Office. Mr. Robbins has investigated hundreds of accidents over his career as an officer and a reconstructionist.

During his numerous investigations, many which start out relying on the patrol officer, he has seen many of the same mistakes made by less experienced officers as well as veteran officers. This course is designed to help officers do a thorough job of the initial interviews of witnesses at the scene, using a camera to maximize a record of the scene, putting emphasis of properly documenting passengers (witnesses), peculiarities about the scene, assessing the crash to determine if a reconstructionist is needed and more.
