BlueLine
Training Group, LLC. is proud to offer the Criminal
Investigators Academy (CIA) certificate. The Criminal
Investigators Academy is designed to recognize law enforcement
personnel for obtaining advanced training in the area of criminal
investigations and the development of critical investigative skills. Once the student completes the program he/she will be awarded the
program certificate.
Unlike other
certificate programs we do not require you to take mandatory courses
from us, you must assess where you are currently at in your career.
It is inappropriate for you to waste your time and your agency money
taking an introductory investigative course if you have been doing
the job for several years already. However, if you are just
beginning your investigative career it is highly recommended you
take Fundamentals of the Investigative Process, Crime Scene
Processing, Death and Homicide Investigation as well as Interview
and Interrogation.
We do require you to
complete 350 hours of investigative oriented training in order to
obtain your certificate.

in the program. Your start date is the application reception
