The Aequitas Group is working in partnership with Intella Quest Investigations to develop cutting edge training in Biographical and Demographical Profile Investigations for law enforcement investigators. The 21st century and digital age have leveraged resources available to law enforcement investigators that were unimaginable just a few years ago. Cloud based computing and online databases, when properly leveraged, can significantly increase an investigator’s closure rate and investigative thoroughness. Digital age investigators must be versed not only in traditional law enforcement sensitive resources but the breadth and variety of non-criminal justice resources that have been developed and utilized in the private sector for years with great success. The BDPI training program introduces criminal investigators to effective and proven methods to expand and enhance their overall investigative ability and success through optimal utilization of non-criminal justice database repositories.
