Before you decide.

An online video training library for investigators from Advanced Strategic Communications, taught by Joseph R. Auriemma, Jr. Five curricula cover investigative interviewing, report writing, and credibility assessment for both sectors, and search warrants and search and seizure for law enforcement. See every lesson.

Police and public agencies, and the corporate, HR, Title IX, insurance SIU, and private investigators who interview and write for a living. Warrant Prep is a law enforcement curriculum. Search & Seizure is built mainly for law enforcement, with lessons and scenarios for corporate and private investigators. Interview Prep, Report Prep, and Credibility Assessment serve both sectors.

Lessons range from about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the subject. Each released lesson shows its actual length.

No. It is training. It does not replace your agency’s policy, your organization’s procedures, or the guidance of your prosecutor or legal adviser, and it cannot tell you whether a specific search, warrant, or finding is lawful.

Yes. Warrant Prep and Search & Seizure are built for investigators in all 50 states. The national lessons teach the federal floor and the working discipline that apply everywhere, and flag the points where state law differs. Each state's own statutes, court rules, and controlling decisions are taught in that state's own State Law Companion module. Confirm the rules in your own jurisdiction. Interviewing, report writing, and credibility assessment are not tied to one state.

Yes. Each curriculum awards a certificate of completion when you finish every lesson in its national core (State Law Companion modules are not required). It is a PDF with a verification code anyone can check online. Whether a certificate counts toward POST, in-service, continuing-education, or recertification credit is decided by your agency, licensing board, or professional body, not by ASC, so no credit is promised.

Yes. Team licenses cover up to 10, 30, or 75 named seats at $1,000, $2,500, or $5,000 a year, with custom quotes above 75. A team license also allows screening lessons to your own personnel in roll-call, in-service, or academy settings. See the agencies page.

An AI training guide built into the site. Tell it what you are preparing to do and it lays out the lessons that fit, in order. It is not Joe, it does not give legal advice, and it should never be given case details. Conversations are kept for 12 months, then deleted. See the privacy policy.
