This 4-hour training session offers practical guidance for investigators and decision-makers on some of the most challenging aspects of the investigation and resolution process. Participants will learn techniques for assessing credibility and reliability, planning an effective analytical approach, and translating facts into fair, well-reasoned determinations. This will include writing a concise yet thorough analysis to explain whether the substantiated conduct meets the elements of a policy violation.   

The session will also cover strategies for asking the right questions, evaluating the authenticity of evidence, and navigating complex issues such as prior infractions and the distinction between intoxication and incapacitation.  

Finally, participants will explore the factors that potentionally inform sanctioning and other outcome decisions. This training is ideal for those looking to strengthen their analytical skills and enhance the integrity of their investigation and/or hearing process.
