Toxicology #2

Without understanding what each of us do, we will never work effectively together. Toxicologists are an integral part of a strong case, but many of us underutilize their abilities and don’t understand their jobs. This course takes the mystery out of toxicology.
Money Matters
The Money Matters course offers prosecutors, law enforcement, and administrative professionals greater tools and knowledge to understand, analyze, and organize evidence in financial crime cases.
