Course Title: Force Investigations

 

Course Description: Force Investigations provides intensive training on the concepts needed to separate self-defense from criminal action. Events involving the use of force are high-stress and rapidly evolving situations that go well beyond the general understanding of the average person.

 

The complexities of a force event demand the investigator have specialized training and investigative skills. The investigator must understand the variables that lead to these life-changing decisions and the evidence those decisions may leave behind.

 

Force Investigations will expose you to the essential elements that need to be considered and investigated following every use of force event. Our training will examine real-life encounters involving force to help you differentiate between acts of self-defense and unlawful attack.

 

Whether you're investigating fistfights, domestic violence, assaults, or murders, the Force Investigations program will provide the information you need to take your investigative skillset to the next level.


Option to test for the Board Certified Force Investigator (BCFI) designation will be offered online at a cost of $ 50.00.  Certification offered by the Force Concepts Training Council in concert with the CDITC.
