FACTS offers workshops and short courses applicable to crime scene specialists, death investigators, law enforcement, fire investigators, anthropologists, archaeologists, and more! Most of our courses are accredited by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE). All TCOLE approved courses are recognized by ABMDI for continuing education credit. We also have some specialized courses approved by the International Association for Identification (IAI) crime scene certification. 

FACTS is always happy to work with organizations to preapprove continuing education credits.  

We can always customize courses to meet your needs. If there is a topic your organization is interested in learning, please reach out! facts@txst.edu
