The Investigations Mentoring and Training Program
is intended to facilitate a patrol officer’s
transition from conducting initial-limited-investigations
to more in-depth, lengthy and complex investigations.
Although a patrol officer may have considerable experience
and received thorough instruction on basic criminal
investigations tasks and activities, the officer cannot
be expected to immediately assume the full responsibilities
of an experienced investigator. This program recognizes
the skills, knowledge and abilities of the “entry-level”
investigator may be considerably less than those of
the experienced or, “full-performance”
investigator. This program uses the same principles
of the “San Jose” model of field training
in the process of mentoring the new investigator through
the subsequent steps of the program until they are
ready to function as a “full-performance”
investigator. Each student will receive an Investigations
Mentoring and Training manual for this course.
