BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION / ORAL INTERVIEW TECHNIQUES SEMINAR

What people are saying:

THIS WAS EASILY THE BEST CLASS I HAVE ATTENDED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE CONTENT WAS EXTREMELY THOUGHTFUL AND VALUABLE. YOU DON'T USUALLY HAVE SUCH THOUGHT PROVOKING CONTENT IN A TCOLE CLASS.*

THIS CLASS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. THERE WERE MANY TOPICS ADDRESSED THAT NOT ONLY I WAS NOT AWARE OF, BUT ALSO MY AGENCY. I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS TO MANY OTHERS. CHIEF BRATTON IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE.*

EXCELLENT TRAINING. THIS CLASS MADE US REALIZE HOW "AT RISK" OUR DEPARTMENT IS TO CIVIL LIABILITY AND HOW WE NEED TO UPGRADE OUR BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIVE PROCESSES.*

I CHOSE TO ATTEND AFTER HAVING GONE TO A DIFFERENT CLASS AND INSTRUCTOR. THIS CLASS WAS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE OTHER. EVERYTHING WAS PRESENTED WELL AND IS PERTINENT. THANK YOU!*

GREAT CLASS, WELL PRESENTED, DISCUSSED AND RECEIVED. A CLASS ALL LEADERS, SUPERVISORS AND MANAGERS SHOULD ATTEND. REFRESHING AND FUN!*

EXCELLENT TRAINING! VERY ORGANIZED AND WELL PRESENTED. THIS DEFINITELY MADE ME MORE CONFIDENT WITH DOING BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS.*

THOUGHT PROVOKING. I HAVE A MUCH BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO CONDUCT COMPREHENSIVE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS AFTER TAKING THIS CLASS.*

THIS WAS A GREAT CLASS. I WAS NEVER BORED (WHICH IS UNUSUAL).*
