Overview
Recently, there has been an increase in use of civilian investigator roles within law enforcement, a recognition that not all roles need to be performed by serving police officers.
RSL runs a series of courses designed to train civilian investigators working across varied fields, made up of key / adapted modules from national police detective and interview programmes.
All courses are written and delivered to the bespoke needs of the client and can include basic skills, more advanced levels, and refresher training.
