Management of Criminal Investigation Units

A new Management of Criminal Investigation Units course will be presented from June 25th–27th at the Criminal Justice Institute in Little Rock. Managing criminal investigation units involves the management of investigation caseloads, case information and investigators.  Managing investigations involves the management of investigation caseloads, case information and investigators. This three-day course covers these major topics including: the four essential elements of investigations management, management issues, and techniques for caseload, information and investigator management.

 

Participants will learn proven techniques for assigning and monitoring cases, improving investigator effectiveness, redefining the patrol officer’s role in investigations, and the effective use of “solvability factors” and case control systems. Participants will also learn methods for selecting and evaluating investigators, and ensuring the privacy, security, and confidentiality of investigation information.

 

Who Needs This Training

This training is designed for Investigations Supervisors responsible for case screening and assignment, case management and the supervision of investigators. Also, Investigations Commanders planning or developing an improved case management system, or developing an investigator productivity improvement program should attend this course.

 

Purpose of This Course

Studies of the criminal investigations process show most law enforcement agencies are in need of a more systematic approach to investigations and improved case information for management decision-making.  This systematic approach is needed in the assignment, continuation, suspension or closing of investigative cases.  In addition, there is a need for new or improved methods of monitoring and improving investigative productivity.

 

This course incorporates investigative case management skills and knowledge that have been developed in recent years. Participants will learn how to improve efficiency in managing the criminal investigations process and improve the effectiveness of the total investigative effort.
