- This training is slanted towards those persons who wish to comply with Section 30.(f) of Rule 50. This section mandates that all agencies must have at least one staff member trained in the preliminary steps of an investigation. This includes: securing the scene, taking photos, collecting evidence, collecting written statements, etc. Registrants must also receive prior approval from the agency or facility OIG liaison and from OIG before registering, as OIG has other specific limitations on who may attend.
