What current CFDIs have said about the curriculum and program:
Al Norris (PROVIDENCE-Specialized Investigative Solutions – MI), “Thank you for your time and effort on producing and then grading this line of study. I’m sure your effort in putting this together was massive.” *former homicide detective
Charles Rafferty (Rafferty Investigations / Innocence Legal Team – CA), “It was an interesting subject matter to say the least. Thank you again for taking the time to bring this outstanding course to the table for all of us to take on this challenge. This distinguished honor is a pinnacle of my own career.”
Bob Wigley (Distinctive Investigations – FL), “I am extremely proud and somewhat speechless. You said from the very beginning that it was going to be a challenge and it was. I thank you for the opportunity. Thanks again for your hard work on putting this course together and accelerating the professionalism in our profession.”
Larry Warwick (LaW Consulting – WI and Deputy Coroner / D-ABMDI), “The course was intensive and time consuming, but it was well worth the effort. I appreciate all the hard work Karen and Dean must have had to do to put this course together.” *former homicide detective / active deputy coroner
Mark Aubin (Top Gun Investigations – FL and licensed attorney), “Really enjoying the course. The subjective nature of the process is challenging and really fosters creative thinking, which reminds me of law school in many ways. You have created an incredible program. You are an amazing team and I can’t even imagine the time it has taken.”
Carol Twiss (Dedicated Investigations – TX), “Thank you! The course was informative, I will definitely send my guys through your training." *former chief of police and homicide / sex crimes detective
Eric Zelaya (Zelaya & Associates Private Investigations – FL), “The course and exam were difficult. I learned more about death investigations than I already knew." *former paramedic / EMS and corrections officer
Bill Losefsky (Investigative Concepts, LLC – NH), “The CFDI Death Investigation certification course provides a comprehensive compendium of forensic science, investigative techniques, and legal procedures involved in determining the cause and manner of death. The curriculum covers all the key topics such as autopsy protocols, crime scene analysis, forensic pathology, understanding a death certificate and toxicology. The instructors, Dean and Karen Beers are highly experienced and well credentialed professionals in the field. They have ensured that the content is both engaging and informative. This course is quite challenging, but the capstone project of completing actual cases is highly invaluable and fully prepares you to be a stellar performer in this field. I would unequivocally recommend this course for the professional investigator who wants a certification in forensic death investigation." *former law enforcement detective and police prosecutor
