CSI Training Day

Our team building events are based around Crime Scene and Forensic Investigation and although a lot of the practical aspects are similar, they are very unique to each individual organisation. This is because we ensure that we listen to the needs of our customers and we focus on particular issues, or draw out particular skills that are identified in each organisations objectives.

This is easy for us to do as it is often not recognised how many key skills, that are essential to the successful running of any business, an investigator will use subconsciously as part of their everyday role, for example skills such as; effective communication, the ability to problem solve and think outside the box, adaptability, time management, leadership skills, working as part of a team and analytical skills to name a few. Although these skills are organically embedded into what we do, listening and talking to the client, allows us to adapt our approach to ensure we are delivering what they need.

Strategically a full day event will run in the following way;

In the morning introductions will be given, followed by ice breakers and getting to know you activities. We will then split the whole group down into smaller teams. We will work collaboratively with you prior to the event to establish who you would like in each team, or alternatively we will be happy to choose the groups. Within each of the smaller teams, delegates will be given a description of different of job roles and the personal qualities needed to fulfil these roles. Delegates will be asked to analyse their own skills and attributes as well as that of their team members, in order to decide as a group, who will be best suited to which job role, as they will undertake that role later in the scene examination. This will form part of a decision making activity which encourages open and honest debate and requires the use of excellent decision making skills. 

We will then carry out workshops and demonstrations with the whole group, in order to give them the skills that they need to become investigators and conduct a full crime scene investigation.

A number of Crime Scenes will be set up, along with an intelligence gathering and analysis area.

Each smaller group will work on a crime scene and at suitable points, team decisions will be made for investigators to break off and communicate findings, gather intelligence and take information back to their own teams.

A debriefing will take place, prior to analysis of evidence to establish who our offender is and solve the crime. Following this we will take time to reflect on the day’s activities and how the skills they have utilised can be used back in the workplace.
