CALIFORNIA POST CONTRACTED, NCIT NOW BRINGS COURSES TO YOUR CALIFORNIA AGENCY - FREE!                See “About Us” or “Sponsoring a Course” for  Details! !

Sponsor a Course

NCIT will bring any of these classes to your agency. The advantages to the sponsoring agency can be a substantial budgetary savings for the number of persons able to attend.

With a full class size of 25-30 persons the hosting agency is given a scholarship for an attendee of their choice.  The cost of the presentation "onsite" also usually saves the agency expenses for travel, per diem, and travel "overtime" costs.

NEW as of July 2005!  IN CALIFORNIA THERE ARE NOW  MORE CHOICES TO ATTEND OUR PROGRAMS!

If your CALIFORNIA agency can provide the  training environment, then NCIT will come to your agency and there will be  NO REGISTRATION FEES! The NCIT courses are now contracted and paid for directly  by California POST.  These ”onsite” classes are also CALIFORNIA POST Plan IV  reimbursable.

HOWEVER; if you cannot support the  training requirements, then come to Sacramento Sheriffs Department where they  provide outstanding support to all law enforcement training needs! NCIT courses  offered through Sacramento SO are CALIFORNIA POST plan III reimbursable to fully compensate the California law enforcement agency for the registration fees charged by Sacramento SO.

FOR OTHER STATES OR NATIONS- NCIT will  bring our courses to your agency provided training environment for a nominal fee  that will include travel and per diem costs for two instructors.  The base price  for our courses (outside of California is $550 (US) per student.  Add all travel  costs to this amount and you can estimate the costs to your area.  Fees include  one copy of the text for each attendee.

NCIT presentations are tailored for the particular hosting agency.  It is necessary that the NCIT instructors become familiar with the operational guidelines of the hosting agency.  NCIT instructors will meet with a representative of your agency to discuss specific departmental policy and existing guidelines on the Sunday prior to the first day of class.  It is the intention of NCIT to promote existing policy and emphasize areas of concern as expressed by your department.

NCIT will provide mail out advertisement to those agencies listed by the hosting agency.  NCIT will be responsible for coordinating the student list for these presentations. The enrollment of 25-30 students is expected at least two weeks prior to the class or the class may be canceled. Canceling the class is a decision made in conjunction with the hosting agency.

NCIT will provide certificates upon successful completion of the classes and will provide the roster and necessary forms to P.O.S.T. NCIT will provide the props, ammunition, biological materials, unique or highly specialized supplies, and will be responsible for all student handout materials. All travel and per diem of the instructors in California is paid by NCIT. There is an additional fee for travel outside of California.

Agency Responsibilities

The hosting agency is responsible for a suitable meeting room for the class, two televisions, a video (VHS) player, a copy machine with transparency materials, an overhead projector and, if available, a video projector for Power Point Presentations.  There are additional specific additional materials required for each class as described below.

Each student is required to bring a crime scene kit with extra packaging material for each class and such additional materials identified for each class. If desired for personal experience, students may bring departmental video and/or digital camera equipment, however NCIT will provide videos and digital cameras needed for the course.

Crime Scene Investigation & Reconstruction

The hosting agency will need to provide the following:

On the third day, the four-hour range session requires a "junked" automobile preferably a four-door sedan with all windows and tires but NO gasoline.  The towing of this vehicle to and from the firing range is to be coordinated with a towing agency by the host agency.  Reasonable tow costs will be paid by NCIT.  .

On the fifth day, mock crime scenes will be set in "live locations" such as a bar, service station, motel room or other suitable “public” place.  Permission to use these locations is to be arraigned by the hosting agency.

Advanced Reconstruction & Major Scene Logistics

NCIT offers the Advanced Reconstruction and Major Scene Logistics course to audiences that may not have taken our initial course offering, however it is necessary that we allow a day for “catch-up” in addition to the five days described above. Will be issued digital cameras for use in the program.  For personal experience with departmental equipment the student may use issue equipment however NCIT will provide video and digital cameras needed for the course. 

The hosting agency needs to provide to a large, expansive area for the multi-phase crime scene.  In the past, NCIT has used locations such as airports, military bases, large storage facilities, county or city government buildings, and public streets.  Specific locations, which fit your community resources, will be utilized.

Bloodshed Interpretation

The agency is required to provide access to a large room where butcher paper and a variety of “domestic textured surfaces” can be placed for bloodshed the patterning demonstrations and experiments.  NCIT has used such as gymnasiums or workout rooms, vacant classrooms, auditoriums, large covered or underground parking structures, and houses scheduled to be destroyed. 

Please note, animal blood from a slaughterhouse will be used in this course, thereby eliminating the concerns regarding disease transmission. However, at all times this blood will be “handled” as though it were human.

Students should bring safety glasses, “surgical” gloves, and protective outerwear.
