Basic Investigation Skills Training

Basic Investigation Skills Training

This course is designed for managers and supervisors in the workplace. Evidence is crucial in any investigation process and the success of any outcome of an investigation is governed by how the evidence is gathered and the circumstances under which any admission is made. Beware of the ‘domino effect’. If the starting point of the investigation is flawed then everything thereafter can fall as well as leading to failure and financial losses greater than the original loss.

We will guide you through the essentials of any preliminary investigation, how you speak to complainants or witnesses, how you speak to suspects, how you gather evidence, how you preserve evidence. It would be nice to think that immediately an issue comes to your notice, you can just pick up the telephone and a policeman will come and see you. Sadly, in many instances, that simply will not happen. The police are heavily under-resourced and have introduced policing priorities.

The course will guide you through the steps that you need to take to enhance the potential for a successful conclusion. What are your powers? Do you have a power to detain suspects; do you have a power of arrest? What is the ‘Caution’? How do you proceed, Civil Law or Criminal Law? Is it a matter that should be dealt with by way of the company’s disciplinary process? There are a myriad of questions and an awareness of all the issues will leave you better placed to take the right steps to protect everyone’s interests.
