Course Description
This 3.5 hour live webinar focuses on front line law enforcement response to cases of suspicious death. The patrol officer response to these cases can make-or-break the cases. We will go over best practices and discuss common mistake and how to avoid them. This class is for everyone, but mostly intended for patrol officers/deputies and their supervisors.
