This course will address the unique needs of law enforcement investigators who are responsible for investigating child sexual molest cases. This course will provide key information on historical cases such as the McMartin Daycare to help the investigator conduct objective investigations and avoid historical mistakes.

The investigators will go in-depth on issues designed to help them meet prosecutorial expectations. Investigators will also be given a unique insight into the different offender typologies, as well as interview and interrogation techniques and investigative tactics to enhance their investigations. This course will include techniques for interviewing children, and information to help bridge the gap between medical evaluations and police investigations.  

IMPORTANT: While there is no prerequisite for this course, it is suggested the investigator attend the POST ICI 40-hour Child Abuse Course prior to attending this course.
