The Academy Group, Inc., salutes the innovative efforts of law enforcement in its struggle to bring to justice violent criminals who have successfully avoided detection, apprehension and prosecution. Our Cold Case Analysis Program™ (CCAP) is designed to assist in that endeavor by bringing to bear the unique experience of the pioneering research undertaken by the FBI and the Behavioral Science Unit at the FBI Academy.
CCAP presents the opportunity for an independent review and analysis of the original crime and an investigation to determine case solvability through the maximum application of all available investigative resources and knowledge. This type of service often identifies investigative shortcuts and may detect new offender vulnerabilities. Most cold case reinvestigations of unsolved crimes benefit from the application of the tools of Criminal Investigative Analysis, which includes the development of an offender's criminal profile. AGI practitioners formulated the FBI's profiling and crime analysis techniques and have guided its successful application time and time again.

Evaluating a case for solvability potential
Case organization or reorganization for maximum usage
