Sexual Assault Investigation and
Rape Typology
This course
will be modified to the level of expertise in the audience and can be
adapted in the classroom for multiple levels of experience and
understanding.
Training
Goals and Objectives
The goal
of the training program is to prepare the Investigator and Investigative
Supervisor to conduct and manage a Sexual Assault or series of assault
investigation's) from initial response through needed follow-up.
The
course will be directed at a multi agency approach to a major
investigation, specifically homicide/death investigations. Several areas
will be addressed; each area by it self is an area of expertise requiring
detailed individual course instruction.
In
addition, the course will include an intense overview of criminal behavior
and the understanding of behavior as it relates to the traditional forms
of evidence, i.e., forensic, circumstantial, eyewitness and confession.
Training
Audience, Format and Content
This
course is intended for various experience investigators, evidence
technicians, supervisors, and prosecution attorneys. It also has great
value to the patrol officer and new recruit. The intent of the trainers
is to bridge the learning gap obtained throughout a law enforcement career
in the area of evaluating crime scenes and help the less experienced
officer/investigator to avoid many of the mistakes and pitfalls experience
by veteran officers as they progressed in their individual careers.
This
course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 50
officers or fewer, but has been given in groups of 400 or more with
successful reviews. The smaller groups enable officers to have more
direct dialog with the instructors and the other students.
The
course is designed in 2-day format (advanced training 3-day)
session with day three involving case reviews
and consultation of local cases so that the investigator / officer returns
from the training with a more concrete understanding of the application of
the training material. The course is generally designed to run from 0830
to 1630 hours daily, but can be manipulated for evenings and extended days
as needed.
