The POST Robert Presley Institute of Criminal Investigation
(ICI) is designed to improve the effectiveness of individual
investigators through the use of a contemporary curriculum
and excellence in instruction. The Institute is dedicated
to training law enforcement follow-up investigators in the
practical skills and knowledge necessary for today's rapidly
changing world.
Experience-Based Learning
By no means do students in the ICI program sit and passively
listen to lectures. Each student, with an invaluable background
and perspective, plays a key role in the ICI courses. Courses
are taught by specially trained investigators and subject-matter
experts -- though the real teachers are the students themselves.
Students are immersed in a learning environment that closely
mirrors their real world. Role play, simulated crime scenarios,
major case studies, the use of professional actors, and a
small class size - all ensure an active and practical learning
environment.
The small group process using innovative experience-based
learning are employed in many parts of the training program.
The desire is to tap the experiences of the learners and make
them a rich resource that is an integral part of this learning
environment.
Institute of Criminal Investigation Program
The ICI Program is presented in three phases and includes
approximately 240 hours of training for certification.
The phases include a Core
Course, a Foundation
Specialty Course, and three related Electives
(doc).
“The ICI program is offered
at no cost to students, as long as their agencies are eligible
for POST reimbursement”
ICI courses are open to all full-time follow-up investigators
(uniform or plainclothes) with one year experience conducting
follow-up investigations. ICI requires only a firm commitment
from both students and their respective agencies that all
courses will be completed. To receive additional information
on the ICI program, please contact POST's ICI Program Manager
at 916.227.4895 or contact an ICI Core
Course Presenter.
