The Criminal Defense Investigation Training Council

I am pleased to introduce you to The Criminal Defense Investigation Training Council. The Council has been formed to meet the unique needs of the criminal defense investigation professional. The Council is not an association designed to address legislative issues, business concerns, or the training needs of all investigative professionals. The Council is dedicated solely to the highly specialized discipline of criminal defense investigation. Our goal is to create a distinct identity for the criminal defense investigator. The philosophy of our members is based upon the understanding that the criminal defense investigator is a specialist. A specialist with a distinct philosophy and methodology grounded in accepted criminal investigation guidelines and procedures. Such a standard can only elevate a profession already enjoying a high degree of intellectual acuity.

The Council has adapted the Component Method of investigation as the basic philosophy and methodology for the training and education of criminal defense investigators. We believe that by establishing a standard we are able to promote a sense of unification. A distinct and separate identity from that of the law enforcement criminal investigator. An identity with its own standards, training guidelines, certification, and accreditation criteria.

I welcome and encourage all those professionals engaged in this highly selective and specialized discipline to join The Criminal Defense Investigation Training Council. The time has come to collectively establish our position as professional criminal defense investigators and advocates of the truth.

Brandon A. Perron is a Florida licensed private investigator, Florida Certified Investigator, Certified Criminal Justice Instructor, Public Defender Investigator Training Director, and Board Certified Criminal Defense Investigator.
