Due to DPR’s workload and budget cuts, we will only conduct these three sessions on basic investigation procedures this year. DPR plans to conduct three sessions in 2010 on advanced investigation procedures.

Please review the Investigation Procedures manual prior to coming to the training. The manual is available on-line at www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/enforce/compend/vol_5/invstprc.htm. Hard copies will be distributed to attendees at the training.

Persons interested in attending the training session must contact Mr. Mostafa Chrichi by e-mail at mchrichi@cdpr.ca.gov no later than two weeks prior to the training. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to you.

An agenda of the training session is attached.

If you have any questions, please contact your Enforcement Branch Liaison.
