Representatives from government agencies and attorneys in Maryland attended a forum hosted by The Center for Forensic Excellence at Stevenson University. These representatives identified a critical problem of communication skills, both in writing and oral testimony, of individuals employed in the investigative/forensic field. Individuals who conduct investigation must be able to effectively communicate in writing the results of their investigation.
If you are responsible for conducting or supervising investigations it is critical for you to be able to prepare a well-written, thorough, accurate, clear and unbiased investigative report that captures all pertinent investigative information. It is imperative you are able to convey to a reader the pertinent facts of a case. In addition, you must be able to articulate in writing the results (Findings) of your investigation that must be supported by Case Report Summary. You should also be able to identify and articulate Recommendations to rectify any negative actionable Findings.
