Online Training Creates Opportunities, Obstacles in Delivery
More than 10,600 Kentucky law enforcement and dispatch clients depend on the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) to deliver the knowledge and skills needed to do their jobs safely and effectively.
It’s a tall order for law enforcement recruits to learn the skill, for example, of properly operating a handgun while simultaneously navigating the legal system’s requirements for how to deploy it. For our clients to perform definitively, DOCJT must ensure that the provided instruction is comprehensive, concrete, and credible.
Reports: Best Defense Against Erroneous Claims
In an era where many television shows and movies have portrayed law enforcement officers bending the rules to make an arrest, well-written, accurate and detailed reports are the best defense against such inaccurate claims. It begins with the report.
Patience and Persistence Key in Investigating Financial Crimes
A degree in finance or business is not needed to investigate a financial crime. Patience and persistence are the only skills required.
Financial crimes are diverse – a stolen credit card, a forged check, or complex employee theft or scams. Regardless of how cautious people are, anyone, at any time, can be a victim of a financial crime. Like the crimes themselves, victims have many faces - the elderly, owners of the local mom-and-pop store, family and friends, and other community members. Financial crimes can be devastating to the victim, causing both financial and emotional loss. We owe it to them to thoroughly investigate financial crimes, so that the case can be successfully prosecuted.
