Course detail: Drug Conspiracy Investigations
Course Description:
Battling drug trafficking in your jurisdiction can be a daunting and frustrating task. Drug traffickers do not operate alone and do not recognize jurisdictional boundaries. It is critical that drug investigators are equipped with the training and knowledge to battle these organizations that seek to profit off of the misery they create in your community.
This class will provide drug investigators with critical tools to utilize existing law to disrupt, dismantle and eliminate these organizations. Conspiracy investigations require investigators to utilize intelligence resources, collaborate with other agencies and partner with prosecutors to be successful. This training will lay out in detail all of these aspects and teach participants how to develop, build and complete a drug conspiracy investigation.
