Overview
This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) elective Homicide Investigations online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Each year in the U.S. there are approximately 16,000 homicides reported, and probably another ±4,000 that are not reported, or are miscategorized. Most homicide investigations start with the arrival of the first officer at the scene. Yet, few officers are trained in the actual conduct of a homicide investigation. This course addresses some of the basic elements officers need to understand regarding homicide investigations, including the collection and protection of vital evidence, the types of homicides, and ultimately, determining causes and time of death.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

Hostage & Barricaded Suspects (TCOLE)
Long Course Description

Course Number

Price (Shown in U.S. Dollars)
15.00
Overview

This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) elective Hostage & Barricaded Suspects online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

When the actions of a violent or disturbed individual result in a crisis situation, law enforcement personnel are often forced to react in a high risk environment where the subject may be barricaded, has taken hostages, or is threatening suicide. Officers won't usually know what's inside the barricaded area, if there are firearms or explosives indicated, or the condition of the individuals involved. Given these challenges, first responders must be able to quickly assess the situation, contain the problem, secure the area, evaluate the threat to hostages or bystanders, call in specialized units as necessary, and be ready to react at any time during the response - a situation that could last for hours. Additionally, negotiators must engage the barricaded individual with the advantage of real-time information. This course provides officers and supervisors with basic response procedures and tactics for such challenging events.

Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

Overview

This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) Human Remains Identification online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

In an ideal investigation involving a deceased individual, the body would be found soon after death in a cool, dry, indoor environment. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case. When bodies are discovered in various states of decomposition, many good investigators assume that much of the information used to determine identity, time, and method of death are been lost. To the contrary, the processes a body naturally undergoes, both in life and death, provide a wealth of information to assist investigators in determining the identity of the individual, as well as the cause, manner, time, and circumstances of the death. In this course we explore and exploit these change through understanding.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

Overview

This is the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) mandated Human Trafficking #3270 course offered in an online training course format for Texas Peace Officers.

Human trafficking and modern day slavery are very real problems for the most vulnerable people on the planet, and this includes men, women and children. The United Nations protocol defines human trafficking as the illegal trade of human beings, through abduction, the use, or threat, of force, deception, fraud, or sale for the purposes of sexual exploitation or forced labor. For many jurisdictions, trafficking in human life, like so many other issues becomes a local enforcement issue due primarily to nations failing to adequately enforce their borders. It is not different in the United States and your state. In this course we define and discuss human trafficking from the global and local enforcement perspective, discuss the various types of trafficking, and probe the legal and investigative elements of these crimes.

Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive four (4) hours of course credit.
