This course includes many of the same lessons as the Florida Private Investigator Intern Program, but narrows the focus of subjects to private investigations only and excludes lessons that largely focus on Florida Law.

Students that seek licensure as Private Investigator Interns in the State of Florida should enroll in the Florida Private Investigator Intern Program. We strongly recommend that students located in states other than Florida should consult their state laws for any unique training and licensing requirements before enrolling in this course.

$169.00 Legal Aspects of Private Investigations For most new and experienced private investigators, critical mistakes are rarely the result of poor investigative skills and techniques.

$79.00 Principles of Undercover Work Few assignments in criminal and private investigations are as dangerous and challenging as undercover work.

$179.00 Human Trafficking Investigation According to authorities, between 600,000 and 800,000 people are trafficked each year between nations against their will for purposes of sexual exploitation or slave labor. This estimate doesn’t include the millions of others trafficked within their own countries. Despite its international nature, human trafficking is not just a problem for Interpol and federal level law enforcement, but local agencies as well. Victims of human trafficking can be encountered almost anywhere in the world, from child armies in West Africa to massage parlors in small town America. In this five-hour online program, criminologist Tony Attanasio explores the problem of contemporary human trafficking, legal aspects of human trafficking, working with victims, and unique considerations for investigation of human trafficking activities.
