RAID training now available

The Real-time Analytical Intelligence Database (RAID) is a National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC)-designed tool used in support of criminal prosecution. It is also used by several law enforcement agencies for organizing and sharing case information. The software helps analysts catalog and analyze valuable information collected from seized evidence or law enforcement intelligence.

In this 5-day course, users will be trained on the RAID software so that evidentiary and investigatory information can be effectively retrieved to assist organizations with their investigations. No prior experience with RAID 3 or any previous versions of RAID are needed.

The course is open to law enforcement personnel, and personnel in the intelligence and investigative fields.

For more information, see our RAID Training page.
