Investigator Coaching Program

Training builds knowledge. Coaching builds skill.

K-12 investigators need a diverse toolkit. They interview children of all ages and abilities, staff, and other cooperative and hostile witnesses. They locate and analyze evidence inside and beyond the institution or school building, write clear and impartial reports, ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws and internal policies, and navigate the roadblocks that every real investigation throws their way.

That skillset doesn't come from a training session. It comes from doing the work, with the right support behind you. Campus Integrity Group's Investigator Coaching Program is a hands-on mentorship experience designed for schools and youth-serving organizations that want to build that kind of skill from the inside out. Your investigator works through an actual case with our team at every step. No simulations. No hypotheticals. Just real guidance when it counts.

The Result

A more confident investigator with new skills and techniques to carry with them into future cases. An institution with greater capacity to conduct quality, defensible investigations from within. Investigations that are thorough, defensible, and completed on time with your own staff leading the way.

How It Works

We start at the beginning. Our team reviews the case file, helps develop the investigative plan, and works through witness identification and prioritization, evidence collection, and any roadblocks that arise along the way. Before interviews begin, we review outlines and offer concrete guidance and suggestions. During interviews, we serve as active participants, taking notes, asking follow-up questions, and catching anything that might be missed. After each interview, we provide immediate, specific feedback so your investigator can apply what they've learned right away.

At the conclusion of the case, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the investigator's performance, highlighting strengths and maps out areas for continued growth.

Experienced investigators going deeper. Seasoned investigators looking to sharpen specific skills on Title IX procedures, interviewing children across ages and developmental abilities, evidence handling, complex or high-profile case strategies, managing combative respondents, or trauma-informed approaches.
Attorneys supporting clients through investigations. Legal counsel guiding a client through a sex abuse investigation or allegation who want experienced investigative support alongside them.
Institutions building capacity without breaking the budget. Schools and organizations that need a higher level of investigative support but want a cost-effective alternative to bringing in an outside investigator for every case.

Who Is This Program For?

First-timers finding their footing. Schools and institutions standing up an internal investigative function for the first time, whether that's training a new investigator or a team just getting started.
