Robert Presley Institute of Criminal Investigation

Robbery Course

Course Description

Each year over half a million robberies are reported to police in the United States. The successful investigation of this pervasive crime involves an understanding of the elements of the crime, the dynamics of the offense, and the characteristics of the offender. It is also critical that investigators formulate and utilize techniques and strategies to obtain vital information from victims, witnesses, and suspects while developing a successful case.

Designed to meet the specific needs of the investigator, this course addresses the broad spectrum of robbery, from commercial stores and banks, to street muggings, residential invasions, and the "shakedowns" of youth and adults. The learning opportunities involve the students in examining active cases, analyzing the elements and the evidence, and developing patterns that emerge during a robbery investigation.

At the conclusion of the course the student will be able to:

  • Explain robbery law
  • Recognize crime patterns
  • Demonstrate suspect identification techniques
  • Organize and employ tactical planning procedures
  • Identify and access useful sources of information
