Does this sound like your agency?

Your agency lacks funds for vital equipment or training.
You applied for grants in the past, but just can’t seem to get your application into the winner’s circle.
Times are tight and your budget is shrinking, but grants seem so intimidating, you’ll never figure out how to get that crucial additional funding for your department.
Need help finding grants?

You’re not the only one. Fire Departments, Law Enforcement Agencies, and other Emergency Services Agencies nationwide have felt the sting of the budget ax. Competition for grant funding awards is fierce. This training provides a competitive edge!
Don’t settle for another “Dear John” rejection notice. What did our clients do to avoid those rejection notices?
They got First Responder Grants training.
“We have been awarded $410,199, and we have about $4,000 invested in training and assistance through you. That’s over $100,000 for every $1,000 invested. Thank you.”
— Undersheriff Mickey Gruber, Brown County Sheriff, Kansas
In this economy, the competition for grant dollars will be extremely high. First Responder Grants Training gives you the competitive edge needed to win grants for your agency!

It was the best money our department has ever spent. I would estimate in the last 3 years we are in the $750,000-$1,000,000-dollar club for grants. I would highly recommend going to this seminar.”

The second part consists of a lecture identifying all important aspects of effective police officer testimony, identifying both the key factors to focus on, as well as what to avoid. Topics include:
*Better Report writing *Preparation
*Courtroom demeanor, body language and other intangibles *Anticipating the cross exam

COLD CASE HOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS

The objective of this class is to describe in detail investigative techniques which have successfully solved several old, cold, unsolved, homicide cases. This course will include a discussion of not only the techniques and strategies utilized, but also a comprehensive case study analysis, which utilizes real life, practical experiences to demonstrate how difficult and previously thought unsolvable cases could in fact be solved. Although the primary focus is on cold case homicides, the practical value from this seminar carries over to all aspects of criminal investigation and is designed to make participants better all-around investigators.
Topics to Include:

Theory Behind Cold Cases
Strategies, Techniques, and Themes of Investigation
