Training Courses
Law Enforcement RESilience Training: Our comprehensive training empowers first responders with practical tools for cultivating Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, and Physical resilience. Designed for those who serve under pressure, the course fosters proactive strategies to meet adversity before it becomes crisis. Backed by research, impact assessment, and field experience, this program offers interactive tools and skill-building exercises. Whether you choose a half-day or multi-day format, online or in person — our courses are built to support those who support others with the skills they need most. Training focuses on the acquisition and fine-tuning of critical skills that allow first responders to become resilient and positive practitioners, and sustaining a flourishing life of purpose and renewed energy.
Certificate in Investigative Psychology: This course aims to highlight how we may apply psychology to the specific applied area of crime scene analysis. The focus of the course will be on the sub-field of offender profiling and crime scene analysis, and the main psychological principles upon which offender profiling is based will be outlined. Using the most up to date knowledge in the field, the training aims to highlight what are the most important behavioral factors to focus on at the crime scene and engaging in the most effective decision making process, to support evidence based behavioral crime scene analysis and offender profiling.
Advanced Information Gathering & Decision Making: Current training focuses on investigators as decision makers, with the aim of highlighting how the perception of information can influence the decision making process. Training on this topic currently focuses on achieving Evidence Based Practice through process and context informed decision making, including the internal cognitive processes of the decision maker as the primary point of focus in any decision making context, and the external situation i.e. crime scene analysis.
