Uncover the real-life techniques used by professional criminal investigators to help solve a series of simulated cases.
Review evidence to identify an initial group of suspects. Seek out informants to reveal new leads for the ongoing investigation. Learn to read a person’s body language to discern the truth of your suspects’ statements. Obtain the necessary warrants for search and seizure, practice strategies for criminal questioning, and finally narrow down the list of suspected criminals. Once you have apprehended the suspects, you will use the Reid technique to snare a confession out of the guilty party. With strong evidence in hand, close the investigation with a rock-solid conviction and the tools to take on your next case.
