Title IX Investigator Training
Learn Hands-On Investigation Skills from Lifelong Investigators
In our Title IX Investigator Training Program, our professional investigators share their expertise with Title IX coordinators, Title IX investigators, and disciplinary board members to demonstrate the keys to conducting a proper Title IX investigation.
Leveraging decades of field experience, a comprehensive understanding of sexual assault cases, and the latest studies surrounding trauma, investigators provide program participants with the necessary skills, materials, and protocols to investigate an incident with confidence.
The Importance of Roleplaying
Our Title IX training program focuses on the realities of sexual assault investigations. Our instructors’ extensive investigation expertise combined with comprehensive background knowledge about sexual assault cases allows Title IX Solutions instructors to lead realistic and fruitful role-playing exercises throughout the duration of the training program.
The highly interactive role-playing activities help reinforce lessons learned during the training program and better maintain campus-based investigators’ attention throughout the day. As campus-based investigators observe and participate in more in-depth role-playing activities, Title IX Solutions instructors will interact directly with the audience and role-playing participants to ask questions, demonstrate investigation tactics, and critique interview questions.
