Crime Training Content

 Our Cadre of crime trainers can integrate with existing crime training departments to support training delivery.

The Code of Practice to the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (CPIA) defines a criminal investigation as: an investigation conducted with a view to it being ascertained whether a person should be charged with an offence, or whether a person charged with an offence is guilty of it. 

This will include

· investigations into crimes that have been committed;

· investigations whose purpose is to ascertain whether a crime has been committed, with a view to the possible institution of criminal proceedings; and

· investigations which begin in the belief that a crime may be committed, for example when the police keep premises or individuals under observation for a period of time, with a view to the possible institution of criminal proceedings

Professional crime training is essential for ensuring officers and staff can develop and enhance their skills from basic training.
