Description
The Introduction to Criminal Investigation Training Program (ICITP) is designed to acquaint the non-criminal investigator student with the procedures, techniques, legal concerns, and challenges associated with a criminal investigation.

Combining classroom lectures and practical exercises in the program allows students to better comprehend the various investigative procedures.
