    One of the most difficult parts of being hired to work for a law enforcement agency is passing the police background check.  Even if you have passed the background investigation for one agency, this does not mean you will pass at another.  Our training course will give you all of the inside details that go into making the decision about who gets selected for the next steps in the hiring process and who does not. Learn from personnel sergeants who have passed and failed hundreds. You could be sabotaging yourself without even realizing it, costing you the career of your dreams. You can't afford to miss this course.

    Date: April 2, 2025 (1 hour)

    Location: Live online webinar (also recorded if you can't make that date)

    Cost: $24.99

    Join us in sunny San Diego for Geographic Profiling training this spring.  Geographic Profiling is an analytical technique that uses crime locations to locate an offender’s home.  Geographic profiling fits nicely at agencies looking to advance into predictive policing. This course gives analysts, detectives, and other information about how to use geographic factors to find serial offenders. Attendees who successfully complete this course are eligible to attend the Geographic Profiling Analysis II course and become certified in geographic profiling. 

    Students learn through the study of real cases, group dialogue, and hands-on exercises.  This course is based on the work of noted expert in the field, Dr. Kim Rossmo.  Dr. Rossmo and geographic profiling have been featured in Dateline NBC, Reader's Digest, the London Sunday Times, the Il Tempo (Italy), Popular Science, TV Guide, De Limburger (The Netherlands), and hit drama NUMB3RS on CBS.  This course is timed with the release of the second edition of Dr. Rossmo’s ground-breaking book “Geographic Profiling”.  This methodology was a contributor to the criminal investigation that received an International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP)/ChoicePoint Award for Excellence in Criminal Investigation and was an IACP Webber Seavey Finalist.
