Current Training Classes

The Canon City Police Department (CO) will host a Criminal Investigative Analysis Course from 9/27/2010 to 10/01/2010. The course will be presented by Wayne Porter of the Alpha Group Center for Crime and Intelligence Analysis Training, and may be used for Certification purposes in the Certificate in Crime and Intelligence Analysis Program offered by the California Department of Justice and the California State University system. Mr. Porter is an FBI-certified police fellow profiler who for 11 years profiled serial rape and homicide cases as a Special Agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, several of which has been featured on television’s A&E’s Investigative Reports and Court TV. Currently maintaining his sworn status as a Reserve Special Agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Mr. Porter, who retired with 32 years in law enforcement, now consults and instructs on violent crime topics along with practical applications of criminal investigative analysis techniques for law enforcement organizations throughout North America.

Designed for both investigators and crime analysts who are responsible for investigating or assisting in the investigation of rape, homicide, and violent crime cases, this course takes a very practical "learn-by-doing" approach to training that, through lectures and demonstration, provides students with numerous opportunities to walk through the analytical process in the analysis of serial rape and homicide. Participants learn how to analyze crime scene patterns, recognize the all-important signatures of serial violent crime such as homicide and rape, identify the behavioral, physical, and personality characteristics of offenders who commit these crimes. They’ll also be shown how to determine the offender's obsessions and motivations, how to determine if, when, and where offenders may strike again. In addition the course will address the target selection process of offenders, sexual deviants behaviors exhibited by the offender, how female serial killers differ from male serial killers, and how social and environmental factors shape an offender's life.

Each participant will receive a copy of "The Criminal Investigative Analysis Study Guide and Workbook," a manual of over 700 pages of class notes and supplemental reading material, and a CD of “Managing Death Investigations,” by Arthur Westveer, Jr., containing over 600 pages of material for the investigation of many types of violent deaths. This is a unique opportunity to become more aware of the investigative analysis process currently preformed by the police-fellow and F.B.I. profilers. The student will learn the importance of walking in the shoes of both the suspect and the victim. Tuition for the course is $525 and includes the week of instruction and all related course materials. The course also fulfills the requirements of the Certified Crime and Intelligence Analysts Program and may be used for certification purposes.
