The course, delivered by Agencia Ltd on is part of a wider programme of training to equip officers with the latest strategies in major crime investigation in particular homicide investigations.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to develop and implement appropriate investigative strategies as part of the wider investigative and prosecution team, set up an administrative and major incident room, determine mindsets and cognitive influences on investigative decisions, identify and safeguard vulnerable witnesses and family liaison officers and implement a media strategy.

Sixteen officers are part of the course: eight from the RVIPF, two from the Cayman Islands, two from Bermuda, two from Montserrat, one from Turks and Caicos and one from Anguilla.

The two trainers, Gareth Bevan, a retired Detective Chief Inspector, and Andy Bevan, a retired Detective Chief Superintendent, are former U.K. officers with a wealth of operational experience. 

The course is to end this Friday as the RVIPF continues its goal to increase local training for its officers.
