Who Should Take This Course
Criminal detectives and medicolegal death investigators deal with high-intensity scenes and if not aware of certain avenues of failure many mistakes can happen that could derail, or completely eliminate, the chance for a successful prosecution.
This course will cover the 12 most commonly made mistakes at crime scenes and how to avoid them. The course will walk students through an explanation and examples of each of the twelve mistakes.
Our online video training and is designed to be interactive with students by random quizzes and, in some cases, a final exam. Student login times, location IP, and activity time within the course are tracked per student by Mixpanel to verify the time spent in the course if needed. Videos cannot be fast-forwarded or skipped, and testing cannot be done until the videos are fully watched.
Many of the videos have a unique symbol or picture that will appear prominently in the video and is part of the test questions, this will ensure the video has been watched, quizzes must be passed with a 100% so missing the proof of watch image will ensure the quiz is not passed and thus the student cannot move forward in the course. Also, all quizzes are presented in random question-answer order so each quiz attempt will have questions and answers in an order different than previously shown. This prevents students from sharing answers with other students.
Certificates will only be available for print after the successful completion of the course material. Each certificate will indicate that it was an online training and will note the approval control number and the CLEE hours given.
