The Investigative Training Group, Inc. was established in 1995 to:
Provide quality forensic and investigative training at an affordable rate
Exceed each and every agency's needs for quality training in these fields
Present the most current and accepted methods or techniques available
Retain the most qualified instructors with years of practical experience
Many law enforcement agencies have experienced a major decrease in training budgets and are no longer
allocating funding for specialized training in the investigative and forensic fields. Funding and grant money
is available for the gadgets, computers and other specialty devices designed to make the investigative job easier.
Unfortunately, minimal emphasis is being placed on the basic tool that gets the job done right; TRAINING.
If you have questions or are a Training Officer, contact us by email or call us at 321-243-9417
