Good material and course content, covered a lot.

Good detail, I took the Mississippi SUIDI course 13 years ago, a 16 hr. course, this was a good refresher. I am always interested in gunshot information.

Great Overview

Great overview of death investigations. Perfect for first responders and new investigators to get an insight into what's important and how to best preserve a scene.

Great Course!

So much informative information. I do SAR but I do love investigative work of any form. Thank you for sharing this course with us all.

It was a great title

Couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

Great course

This is definitely worth the time to do. Thank you for offering this course and sharing your knowlage.

Death Investigation Academy

very informative and easy to follow

Excellent refresher course

The child death section was especially helpful. Thankfully it has been a long time since our last child death and this section of the class reinforced the need for having the doll ready with placed and found cards. also inspired me to be sure a supply of paper and plastic evidence bags are included in the bag with the doll.

Response and understanding a death scene

Response and understanding a death scene

It's been 10-years since completing a death scene investigation course. Was both a great refresher as well as learning information I hadn't previously known or thought about. While I understand why fast forward is not provided, I do suggest rewind or replay last 30 seconds. There were times while taking notes I did't pause play then missed a topic discussion or "blackboard" change.

Good class

Good information and relevant to the job.

Appropriate

Well put together course

4 star

Great course

Took this course for free and it was great! Highly recommend.

Pretty good, but could use some technical upgrades

The information presented overall was good. At times, it was hard to see the demonstrations and read the powerpoints though due to the distance the camera was away and the instructor being out of camera range.

Excellent

This was a very thorough and in depth course. Well presented and covered a lot of materials.

Response and Understanding a Death Scene

The class was informative and I enjoyed the instructor.

Excellent course with a very knowledgeable instructor. Great refresher for a senior CST and learned along the course also!

Excellent course!!!!

Very long

This was a very long training. I think it would be helpful to make it audio only and add sounds to prove you listened (ie: meow, bark, monkey...) and take a quiz at the end

Good training

Response and Understanding a Death Scene

Very Interesting especially the infant death was informative.

Conerning

I've been an MDI for many years. The amount of time spent discussing auto erotic deaths was concerning. It was mentioned in nearly every topic. Also concerned that the first photo in this online course is that of a naked 13 year old. Seems to be very sensational especially if just anyone can sign up and watch.

Response and Understanding a Death Scene

The slide show was washed out at times and couldn't be read.

to the point fitting for the content

I enjoyed the speaker, he was not boring and made it easy to watch

death investigation

it was a good course. wish I could see the slides a little more closely. some of them were blurry

Very informative

Working with Medico-Legal personnel, I found this course to be very informative and one that I know will be of use to me in my field.

Great course

Super easy to follow, not overwhelming and he is entertaining to listen to.

A very good class.

I would have liked to hear the class comments and some of the video writing was to small for me to read however, I learned a lot.

Informative & helpful

Very well explained & easy to follow. One thing I would change would be able to hear the responses from the room to questions asked.

Response and Understanding a Death Scene

Darren maintained a very good standard throughout the course, very passionate about what he does, energized the class consistently, very inspirational. Overall the course was excellent, the best I've had as a Major Crimes Detective so far. Looking forward to the online Academy in May!!

Investigator

Good class

Well presented

This course was in depth and covered a lot of interesting subjects in a very nice presentation. I liked that you can do the course in parts (often sections of 22 minute videos). This allowed you the ability to do a couple of videos a day and not become overwhelmed and get information overload, had it all been one long video. I learned a good deal.

Really informative

This course presents a lot of great information.

Death scene investigation

very good course and content

Good Overall View

This course provided a very good overall view of a death investigations. The online format precluded the hands on opportunity that an in-person class would allow, but overall it was of high quality and easy to understand and follow.

response & understanding a death scene

Thought it was very easy to understand, concise, educational and thorough. The instructor was well versed in topics & explained it well.

great presentation overall -along with the visual props

Medicolegal Death Investigator

It would have been nice to hear the responses to the questions from the people in the audience.

Helpful Class

It appeared to have been a recording of an actual class which was hard to watch online for 40 hours, but I did learn a few things so it was definitely helpful.

OUTSTANDING!

Great instructional video on the main topics of death investigations. Very simple to follow and to understand. Thank you for offering it!

Great course

This has been a great course during the pandemic for training. Only recommendation is to have the PowerPoint available to review at the same time of presentation.

Response and Understanding a Death Scene

Enjoyed the class

Response and understanding a death scene

well done, simple and easy to follow. Good examples

Title was accurate of what the course taught

The presentation was excellent, had relevant information and kept the attention of the viewers. Only critique is that the power point slides were hard to see at times.

Thank you!

I really enjoyed this class, especially during long nights of patrol on the COVID-19 lockdown. I have no complaints. I would only add that sometimes photos on the screen were hard to see--sometimes they were enlarged and sometimes not. That would be my only opinion on how to make this excellent course even better. I also enjoy the podcast quite a bit! Thanks again.

Excellent Materials and well presented

As an MDI in Indiana, I look for course to help keep me refresh my skills and learn new insights. This course was ideal. Each segment had great information and was well presented. Thank you!

Excellent

Excellent use of audiovisual, examples and anecdotes. Effective speaker. Easily understood, interactive with audience. Very informative.

Lab Investigator

To the point and easy to understand.

The title fits the information presented

Great information that is very helpful

My review

Would benefit from placing a pdf with the slides in the material. Was difficult to see what the speaker was pointing out on the slides from the distance of the camera. Speaker seemed to have a dislike of EMS paramedics and "ambulance people "

Great Course

This was a great course. Very easy to follow, and kept my attention even though it was online. This was a bit of refresher training for me since I have taken a few death investigation courses. I have no complaints!

Thankful

This was a course that I hope more online course model themselves after. I really appreciate the lecture format and got a lot from the instructor.

Review and Rating of the Response and Understanding a Death Scene Course

This course is a must take refresher for all law enforcement. Not only to keep those investigators refreshed who have had the unfortunate experience of having to work a Death Scene but it also provides perspective to those who haven't. This course also provided a detailed "do or don't do" for first responders that is priceless for preservation of the scene for the detectives or investigators who follow. Being myself a FLETC trained CSI my opinion was this course was exceptionally well put together and I benefitted from every portion. Thank you for offering this free of charge and making access to the material so easy. Since a proper review is not complete with out an improve suggestion here are two, first make a ffw and rwd option available for sections once completed and second I saw a brief glimpse of a Blood Spatter slide, a few minutes of added lecture to explain the general dynamics of the subject may be helpful to LE for recognition, understanding and preservation, in the same way the rest of the course was. Very Respectfully James M. Deladurantaye

Great examples

He provided great examples throughout the videos and was very in-depth.

Outstanding

The presentation had a lot of very good information in it. It helped me to understand why we follow certain procedures. I particularly enjoyed the injury section and infant section. The presenter was great at adding in real stories and experience to keep it entertaining.
