POST CONTRACT COURSE
Description
This ICI foundation specialty course provides investigators with the specialized skills and knowledge necessary to collaboratively, effectively, and objectively conduct investigations unique to sexual assault. This course provides instruction in the ethical challenges specific to sexual assault investigations, types of information that can be recovered using computer forensics, and the SART model. Students will be provided with training on decision making, and flexibility while handling multiple cases as additional information is received and prioritized.
By understanding sexual assault victim dynamics and the common challenges faced by victims in reporting to law enforcement, investigators will be better equipped to cater their investigation with victim issues in mind, thus enhancing the likelihood of victim participation. This training will also provide sexual assault investigators an opportunity to discover the ways in which these types of investigations may impact their professional and personal lives and then assist them in exploring ways to prevent negative impact through healthy coping mechanisms.
At the conclusion of this course the student/investigator will be able to: interpret and apply sexual assault related laws; competently exercise their investigative skills in sexual assault cases to increase the likelihood of successful prosecution under California law; identify the importance of a sexual assault forensic medical examination as an investigative resource; understand victim dynamics and counterintuitive behaviors; and develop specific investigation and interrogation framing based on offender typology.
