 Advanced Gangs Investigations Course


Description:  This 40-hour course will provide investigators with the information and skills to successfully investigate gang related crimes and testify as a gang expert.  The course is designed for active, hands-on participation by all students.  Course work will include preparation for submitting a gang wire tap affidavit, understanding gang association warrants, a review of both prosecution and defense strategies in gang cases, and preparing for expert testimony.  The seminar will conclude with a mock – courtroom exercise, administered by gang D.A.’s.  The student will have an opportunity to practice their gang expert testimony skills with both direct and cross examination.

Prerequisites: There are several prerequisites for this ICI Advanced Gang Investigations course.  You must meet all of these in order to attend this course.  While several, they are not overwhelming and can easily be completed.  If you have any questions or issues around these prerequisites, please contact the RTC as soon as possible.  While this is not a search warrant writing class, it is recognized that writing a proper search warrant in relation to gang investigations is essential to successful investigations.  With that in mind, the following have been established as a minimum baseline for students attending this course:

  • Attended the two week ICI Core Course OR

  • Have taken the POST Online “Search Warrant Fundamentals” Class on the POST Learning Portal (must print and bring certificate of completion).  The Learning Portal can be accessed at www.lp.post.ca.gov.  Completion of this online class does give 3 hours of CPT credit.
