Course Description

Instructor / Leadership Development

Instructor Development (offered as a 32-hour class) is about developing confident and competent leaders, speakers and instructors through a variety of self-improvement techniques, classroom exercises, and performance-based demonstrations. The course focuses on adult learning styles, strategic thought / problem solving, & impactful presentations by evaluating student performance through assessments and scenario-based training.

Crime Scene Investigation I (CSI One)

CSI I is presented as a 40-hour course where students are guided through a seven-step protocol (useful at all crime scenes) where we seek to connect suspect, victim, and scene through physical evidence. Case studies and hands-on practicals are used to teach students how to use testimonial, circumstantial and physical evidence to strengthen their cases. Evidence recognition, collection, handling, packaging and submission are demonstrated, and students complete practical exercises in those areas and more.

Crime Scene Investigation 2 (CSI Two)

This five-day, 40-hour program has been designed by Blue Line Training and Development Inc., along with expert practitioners in the field of evidence identification and collection.  The purpose of this course is to educate Officers, Homicide Investigators, Detectives, Crime Scene Investigators (CSIs), and members of Major Crime Task Forces in the art and science of crime scene investigation as it relates to collection, identification, and preservation of evidence to be submitted to a forensic science laboratory for analysis. This course is specifically a continuation of basic training received in CSI 1 (Prerequisite) to allow more time and exposure to processing a crime scene from start to finish, including reports and courtroom testimony. This course has a strong focus on body crimes, death investigations and advanced techniques and technologies in forensic science and processing scenes.

Students will learn additional DSLR camera functions, settings, and operations while photographing physical evidence and simulated crime scenes, including low light and an introduction to Forensic Light Source and Laser Trajectory photography

“Both instructors were phenomenal. This was one of the best courses that I have ever taken.  Heather Hansen and Chris Collins were a dynamic duo.  I hope to have another course with them both.”

- Blue Line Attendee

“I took the instructor development course recently. Having 25+ years in the business, I’m never eager to take new classes. I go into them expecting to be lectured to, and to learn very little. This was absolutely not the case with this course. In fact, I can honestly say that this was one of the most interesting, fun, and interactive classes that I have ever attended. I can’t recommend this company and their training enough. 10 out of 10”

- Paul D.

“This course ranks in the top five classes I have ever taken in my 20+ (year) career. Heather and Chris are master instructors that genuinely care about their students and the material they teach.  I was limited in only being able to mark 5’s for this course when it is beyond excellent and deserves 10’s.  Thank you Heather and Chris for who you are and what you do.”
