SOUTHEASTERN INVESTIGATIVE GROUP
Southeastern Investigative Group was started to provide hands-on homicide investigation training courses. Hands-on training is the effective method of teaching simple and complex investigative principles and putting them to use in a field environment. Our students will put their training to practical use in our scenario driven, hands-on training.
Our experienced Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators will take the students step by step through the investigative process and review their performance. Feedback will be provided to further develop the student's investigative skills. We strongly promote the team concept in homicide investigations and that is how our students will train.
