Training—The LPA International Forensics Institute

The LPA International Forensics Institute is a cutting-edge continuing education for law enforcement, private investigators, attorneys, and students. The LPA’s Experts teach courses throughout the United States and in Italy, France, Bahamas, Panama, South Africa, Costa Rica… In-person courses are held both at LPA Headquarters in Monroe, NC and by host agencies on-location. Online courses are asynchronous and several are text book agnostic, meaning we study the topic itself, not just a book on the topic.
