Training & Capacity Building
The capability that solves these cases can be taught. We train agencies, tribal authorities, SAR units, and first responders to do this work themselves.
Courses
Every course is delivered by a practitioner with an operational background, and tailored to what your unit actually needs rather than a fixed syllabus.
Reading ground sign to follow a person's route — the discipline behind evidence searches and missing persons operations. Taught by a court-recognized tracking expert with JHPTS certification in the management of tracking operations.
How to search, document, and excavate an outdoor scene without destroying what's in the ground. Developed from three decades of large-scale evidence searches and taught previously for county medical examiner and sheriff's offices.
Scene response, documentation, and investigative fundamentals for the responders who arrive first — delivered in 2025.
How to triage a dormant case file, identify what modern forensics can still yield, and build a review that produces actionable leads rather than a re-reading of the original file.
Spatial and temporal analysis for prioritizing search areas in missing persons and no-body homicide cases, using the STEG model. Delivered as specialized modules and webinar series for agencies and SAR organizations.
Programs designed to make volunteer search resources genuinely useful to a criminal investigation — built and taught across Washington, Idaho, and Montana.
Who we train
Training supports sustainable capacity-building — the goal is that your team keeps the capability after we leave. We also run a dedicated program for tribal law enforcement and first responders.
