Managing Criminal Investigations – Texas Police Chiefs Association Training Site

Rationale:

Criminal Investigations are one of the primary functions of a police agency and must be properly managed to ensure efficient and effective investigations. Many police agencies organize their criminal investigations function based on the “way we have always done it.” Failure of police chiefs and command officers to properly manage this critical function can lead to inefficient operations and a significant waste of resources.

It is NOT a class for investigators but is a class on managing the Criminal Investigations function within your department. The class is designed to answer questions of staffing, specialization, best organizational arrangement, and how to improve the overall investigations process. The class is highly interactive and participation is highly encouraged.

Understand the advantages and disadvantages of different CID organizational structures.
Understand the goals for Criminal Investigations.
