Introduction to Investigative Case Management

Do you ever feel like your investigations either end too early or go on far too long? Do you feel that the investigative process controls you and takes away your investigative and creative freedom? Do you get frustrated and overwhelmed because you have too many balls in the air? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you can stop the insane juggling act and learn how to control the speed, flow and direction of your investigations.

Here are a few of the topics we will cover:

- Assessing the complaint (preliminary review, evaluation of potential offences, risk assessment, investigative scope)

- Investigative planning (potential evidence sources and investigative relevance) [introduction to the task management log]

- Documentation, storage and retrieval of information and evidence (digital filing system, electronic notes, task reports, daily log)

- Redaction concerns

After only an hour, your life will become noticably easier and your investgiations more professional.
