This course is being co-hosted with the Illinois Coroners & Medical Examiners Association

This course is designed for law enforcement officers, investigators, supervisors, prosecutors, telecommunicators, and coroners. The program will emphasize the importance of obtaining and analyzing 911 calls made by individuals reporting a death or homicide. Common indicators of guilt and innocence are thoroughly defined, discussed and examined through the analysis of actual 911 homicide calls.

Chief Deputy Harpster has discovered 25 indicators of guilt and innocence which will help investigators develop a case strategy and insight during the interview and interrogation phases of the case.

30% of all murderers call in their own crime pretending not to be the offender. Much can be learned about the offender and the offense from a critical analysis of the taped call.

Topics Include:

  • Analysis of Actual Homicide Calls
  • Indicators of Innocence
  • Indicators of Guilt
  • Utilizing the C.O.P.S. Scale
  • Importance of Critical Analysis
  • Columbus Case Review
