Thanks for joining us at:  INLETS In-Depth: The Homicide Investigators Course
April in Orlando, FL

Presenters from NYPD, LAPD, and the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit and Evidence Response Team lead this four-day course with other Subject Matter Experts.

The agenda progresses from the crime scene through investigative tools and techniques, working with Medical Examiners and the prosecution team. Attendees will glean insights from defense attorneys, and the agenda culminates with a victim’s family member sharing their experience from the initial death notification to beyond sentencing.

Case studies, investigative concepts and techniques, and the shared experience of professionals from all aspects of a homicide investigation come together to create a holistic agenda for maximized learning.

The Season 3 webinar series brings us some new and familiar voices.  Continuing with their series, Tom O’Connor addresses Domestic Terrorism, Extremist and Hate Groups while Gene Deisinger continues to bring perspectives on pre-indicators of  violent offenders.

New to the INLETS microphone but familiar to our stage, presenters from New Scotland Yard share on leading international terrorism cases and the social media experts from Footprints lead us in open source and “people finder” data mining.

Registration is free but required and will open in Mid-March.
