Course Description

Public sector investigations can present unique challenges. This course provides managers and supervisors with the knowledge base needed to conduct investigations with a focus on the investigative interview. We will use scenario-based discussions, polls, and lectures to provide a strong foundation for making this intimidating process more manageable.

You'll leave knowing how to structure and conduct a misconduct investigation, create meaningful and helpful interview questions, and identify and address complicating factors in public sector investigations.

Presented by: Patricia Lauten - City Attorney's Office, Tameaka Bryant
