Eden Police Detectives complete Criminal Investigation Certificate Program (CICP)

The Eden Police Department wishes to congratulate Sergeant David Lamberth, Detective Ben Curtis and Detective Brian Disher for their recent completion of the Criminal Investigation Certificate Program and their hard work and dedication to completing the program to further their knowledge and skills for the betterment of the community they serve.

The Criminal Investigation Certificate Program is designed to recognize Criminal Investigators who have completed appropriate training in order to better prepare themselves for the rigors and challenges of Law Enforcement criminal investigations. Investigative techniques, details of legal changes, technological advances and the practical application of detective “best practices” constantly change in the challenging world of law enforcement investigations. Professional investigators who seek out that best practice training stand out from the rest, and should be recognized.

Detectives that desire to enroll in this program must be recommended by the head of the law enforcement agency, must submit an application to the North Carolina Justice Academy, and must be accepted by the program manager. Completion of the program requires 500 credit hours of training with a focus on law enforcement criminal investigation and successful completion of the three core courses that are required: Fundamentals of the Investigative Process, Interview and Interrogation, and Police Law Institute. The North Carolina Justice Academy sponsors and approves all classes taught in the Criminal Investigation Certificate Program.

Chief Reece Pyrtle commented, “I am very proud of the hard work that these three detectives committed themselves to in order to achieve this accomplishment.” “Most impressive is the fact that they were able to achieve this honor while continuing to carry their daily caseloads.”
