Crime Scene to Trial

Home » For Professionals » Trauma-informed Prosecutor Project (TiPP) » Crime Scene to Trial

In this 3-day course, MDTs respond to a report of child maltreatment involving abusive head trauma, child sexual abuse, neglect, emotional abuse, witnessing domestic violence, and animal cruelty. Working as a team, students process a crime scene, interview witnesses, interrogate suspects, conduct a forensic interview, apply for search warrants, and make decisions as to charges. The course also includes workshops on topics including interrogating suspects, investigating polyvictimization, and processing a crime scene.

Applications were due February 28, 2021, however we will continue to consider applications on a rolling basis.
