    Description
    This course is designed to give the student an understanding of the field of criminal investigation. Emphasis will be placed on basic criminal investigative techniques and areas of importance to working police officers in their regular duties. The study of identifying and collecting evidence, development of informants, interview and interrogation techniques, courtroom testimony, and the utilization of scientific laboratory analysis will be covered. In this course, those mistakes made by officers during criminal investigations, which sometimes lead to criminal trial dismissals, will be examined. Insight into the rules of evidence, basic criminal law and the tactics used in criminal prosecutions will also be discussed. (C-ID: AJ 140)
