March Commentary: The Certified Forensic Death Investigator (CFDI) Program

www.CertifiedForensicDeathInvestigator.com

In March of 2021 we “soft” launched the CFDI Program, which had been in development
since the spring of 2020, and is the first to be exclusively for the Criminal Defense
Investigator.* Developed by Associates in Forensic Investigations and partnered exclusively
with the Criminal Defense Investigation Training Council (CDITC) - two powerful teams in
their expertise. We offer the CFDI Program for specialized training in advanced criminal
defense investigations.
*The CFDI Program is open to any qualified private investigator.

Death and Serious Bodily Injury (SBI) investigations are Catastrophic Events, and for the Criminal Defense Investigator is
a forensic specialty. Associates in Forensic Investigations and CDITC are dedicated to furthering our profession by
sharing our experiences and expertise. Our education and training never stops – the CFDI is intended to challenge,
educate, and elevate you. There are three basic requirements: 1) Qualifications – all CCDIs and CLIs pre-qualify; 2)
Complete and pass the basic Pre-Requisite Courses; and 3) Completing and passing this advanced Program. The CFDI
Program and fee includes a webinar series, a reference guide of the presentations, and a book available only to CFDIs.
Once completed an online exam, and a sample case study report each require passing.

Once you have earned your CFDI, you will enhance any Criminal Defense Investigator skills, and all CDITC and other
preeminent certifications and experiences to bring your Criminal Defense Investigations to a new level of advanced
knowledge and skills for the most demanding Criminal Defense Investigations areas – involving Death and Serious Bodily
Injury (SBI) incidents. You will also have unique access to collegial networking and continuing education. The CE
requirements include forensic death investigation and criminal defense investigation, and are available from several
sources, and skills of the CFDI. These include submitting redacted case reports, fact and expert testimony specific to the
CFDI, providing CFDI related lectures and seminars, being published with related articles, and attending related
seminars, webinars and conferences. We will also be offering CE modules exclusively to CFDIs.

Like Criminal Defense Investigations, this program is a challenge and will take dedication to learn, study, complete and
pass – and it will be rewarding! This includes being an active criminal defense investigator with general and criminal
defense investigation specific experience. Although helpful, law enforcement experience and higher education do not
count – experience for the CFDI program is what counts. Once completed, general and specific annual continuing
education and experience is required. As important, this is not just a certification program or attaching CFDI to your
signature line and CV – it is a professional enhancement program. We also offer support and networking. We want YOU
to succeed! As long as you maintain your CFDI credential, you will have the following:
