Objectives
In recent years, technology and intelligence analytical methods available to law enforcement investigators have made headlines. In this age of technical
advancement, it must not be forgotten that crime, whether local, or international terrorism, is committed by humans. The motives of humans are constantly evolving and individual behaviors
cannot be accurately measured or predicted by technology. The effective patrol officer and thorough investigator must learn to integrate the skillful art of influencing people with the
latest technology to build solid cases, uncover criminal behavior and forecast future events.

the policed public. To become an effective recruiter, the skillful investigator must learn to observe people of all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds and become familiar with the issues
and quirks associated with potential sources. At the conclusion of this block of instruction, the attendees will be familiar with the historical use of confidential sources and how lessons
learned apply to modern day policing. The investigator will understand how personality types affect a person’s reasoning to betray others. The investigator will learn how to identify,
approach, recruit, document and manage confidential sources.
