Join the leading experts in the country from the Training Institute in Strangulation Prevention, a program of Alliance for HOPE International, in a dynamic, hands-on 3.5-day course on strangulation and suffocation murders. High Peak Camp near Estes Park, Colorado will be the perfect location for this course from our nationally respected Institute. Evenings will be free for those wishing to go into nearby Estes Park or enjoy time at the Alliance’s new retreat Center, H7 at Hope Mountain, just down the road from High Peak Camp.
Crime scene staging research has found that most offenders who stage crime scenes are male, most victims are female, and the most common victim-offender relationship involving staging is intimate partner relationships. Therefore, this course focuses on detecting staged crime scenes in intimate partner-related deaths.
Seasoned investigators, medical examiners, and prosecutors can be misdirected by killers and can close highly suspicious cases as accidents, suicides, or undetermined cause of death cases. This course will identify the primary mistakes made in staged crime scene cases and walk attendees through the pathway to build prosecutable homicide cases. Attendees will work on actual cases and meet the surviving family members of the victims. Registration will be limited to 80 professionals and a formal application and screening process will be utilized to select participants. No scholarships are available. Multi-disciplinary teams are encouraged (up to five members). Well-being and relationship building will also be a priority during this unique course with team activities, zip lining, miniature golf, hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, disc golf, basketball, and game room activities available.
The application process will close October 1st, 2023. All accepted participants will be notified by October 2nd, 2023. There are two registration types. The registration fee of $1,500 will include lodging accommodations and meals at High Peak Camp. The registration fee of $1,000 will NOT include lodging accommodations at High Peak Camp but will include meals at High Peak Camp. Full registration fees must be paid within ten days of acceptance. Attendance is limited to 80 participants.
