Student Testimonials:
“Emily and I just had your class last week, and wanted to let you know we had our first homicide. It was pretty obvious upon arrival that something wasn’t right, but your class certainly prepped us for this. Thanks again, keep up the good work.”
“The Death and Homicide Investigations Class was excellent. It armed the student with specific skills to be able to be able to respond to a death scene and look at it from a different point of view. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing their experiences with the class.”
“Still things to learn after 23 years of service. Great class for the rookie or the salty road guy. A must!!”
