Choose Your Assigment
RTI courses are built for three different people with three different requirements. Select yours.
Stop Showing Up to Scenes and Winging It
Every patrol officer has been there. The call comes in, you're first on scene, and you're making it up as you go because nobody ever actually taught you this part. The academy gave you the basics. The job gave you the rest. Neither gave you enough.
RTI patrol courses cover the gaps that follow officers their entire career: responding to death scenes before the detectives arrive, conducting vehicle searches that hold up in court, writing reports that don't fall apart on the stand, and reading crime scenes well enough to preserve what matters. Online, on your schedule, with credit hours that count.
You don't need more theory. You need skills you can use on your next shift.

Initial Death Scene Response for the Street Cop
$75
Idaho POST-certified death scene response training for street cops. Learn scene preservation, cause and manner of death, Fourth Amendment compliance, and how to hand a solid scene to investigators. 4 hours. $75.
Good Investigators Don't Wing It
The difference between a detective who closes cases and one who drowns in them isn't experience. It's methodology. Knowing how to structure an interview before you walk in the room. Knowing what the evidence is telling you before the lab comes back. Knowing how to build a case that doesn't fall apart when a defense attorney starts picking at the seams.
RTI investigation courses are built around methodology that survives cross-examination: PIRANHA, the Scharff Technique, Strategic Use of Evidence, and cognitive interviewing science drawn from HIG research. This is the training that changes how you work cases, not just how many cert hours you have.
You don't need more experience. You need better tools.

Your Officers Deserve Better Training. So Does Your Budget.
You're not just responsible for scheduling training. You're responsible for what your people actually learn when they get there. That's a different problem, and it requires a different standard.
RTI certification programs are used by agencies across the country as structured onboarding for new detectives and investigators. Every course is IADLEST-aligned and Idaho POST-certified, which means your training records are clean and your POST office isn't going to ask questions. Online delivery keeps costs down. In-person cohort delivery is available when you need hands-on or need to move a group through at once. If tight staffing collides with budget allocation, we offer hybrid live online courses culminating with in person delivery.
This is training worth defending in your next budget meeting. The agencies that train with RTI don't wonder if their people are ready, they are.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything agencies and officers ask before they enroll. If yours isn't here, we're one message away.
RTI courses are built to IADLEST standards, which means the curriculum, documentation, and instructional design meet the requirements most state POST offices recognize for reciprocity. Idaho POST-certified hours are accepted by many agencies outside Idaho, but acceptance varies by state. Contact your state POST office with the course syllabus and we will provide whatever documentation they need to make the approval process straightforward.
Online courses are self-paced and available immediately after enrollment. Officers work through the curriculum on their own schedule and receive a certificate of completion when they finish. In-person delivery brings the instructor to your agency for cohort training, which works better for hands-on content, practical exercises, and situations where you need to move a group through certification together. Most RTI courses are available in both formats.
