    The title of this structured training fits the elements of the class.

    This specialized training was provided to our police personnel that are assigned to our department's ORC team. Working in the Chicagoland area, our police personnel needed to have a certification that supported the ORC criminal investigations that they were completing. This training and certification provides our police personnel with the credentials needed to support their ORC criminal investigations, when presenting their criminal cases or testifying in court.

    Excellent Training!

    This is my third course with the McAfee Institute. I consider their content to be a modern approach to ORC. They covered what an investigator should know about ORC, the structure, the process and the legality surrounding the role. As an experienced ORC investigator I chose this course not only as a refresher but to keep up-to-date on any training that is available.

    I highly suggest this course to Investigators who are new to ORC. It will give you a good insight into what you may face and other concepts of investigations.
