Criminal Law for Records Personnel $259
Seminar Overview (state specific)
Who should attend: Personnel who work in Records
We find that many records management professionals have never been formally trained in the difference between a robbery and a burglary, a theft and a robbery, an assault and a battery, a forgery and an uttering and...many others. Yet, they are expected to review and approve reports!
This highly educational program will provide the legal training your Records personnel need to correctly decipher the events described in your agency's police reports. In order to reconcile what a police officer writes in a narrative with the classification of the report and how it should be counted for NIBRS purposes, understanding criminal statutes is imperative.
Gain the confidence you need to correctly understand police reports and take your expertise to the next level upon completing this criminal law course.
The training is state-specific and will cover your individual state's laws. Select your state in the registration area to the right.
Topics include:
- Statutory definitions of crimes
- Reconciling state law with NIBRS offenses
- The "elements" of a crime
Included materials
Materials will be provided for download during the webinar including:
- Course slides
- Articles of interest
- Course certificate
