Courses range in length from two to five days and are both informative and relevant to the professional needs of each student. While many of the courses are designed to be classroom or auditorium-oriented, there are several other interactive programs that will provide the attendee with both classroom and practical experience opportunities.

The underlying emphasis in every seminar is on integrated teamwork and leadership. When people of different disciplines understand not only their own role in an investigation, but also the roles of the other participants, thereis an appreciation and respect that leads to a feeling of shared "ownership" of the case. The result is a team effort insuring that all possible investigative avenues are explored and all forensic tools applied.
