Forensic Supervisor Level II Virtual Academy
The 6-Week Virtual Workshop to Help You Continue Mastering the Art of Forensic Leadership from the Comfort of Your Office
Hi! It’s Ashley Church and Erin West, co-Owners of Gap Science
In 2018, we both transitioned into supervisory roles – Ashley over the Crime Scene Unit and Erin over the Latent Print Unit at a local Sheriff’s Office in Central Florida.
Neither unit had an established training program, policies and procedures, organized budgets… you get the picture! These projects were tough to tackle with minimal guidance, all while trying to improve our team morale.
Luckily we had each other to lean on, but we know many forensic professionals go through similar circumstances without much support. That’s why we created Gap Science – to provide other forensic professionals with knowledge, training and resources we wished we had throughout our careers.
Unlike our in-person courses where you only have access to one or two instructors...
In the Virtual Academy you'll have the opportunity to learn from multiple Gap Science instructors, each bringing their own expertise to the table!

Still have concerns?
>> “I’m concerned about the time commitment.”
We understand that taking an entire week off for training can disrupt your busy schedule and create backlogs of work. The academy allows you to balance your professional responsibilities while still gaining valuable knowledge and skills over a period of six weeks. It’s a convenient and flexible option tailored to your needs.
>> “I prefer face-to-face interaction and networking opportunities.”
While we understand the value of networking, our virtual academy offers unique advantages of its own. Through our virtual platforms, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with forensic supervisors from various law enforcement agencies across the country. By joining our self-paced virtual academy, you will have the opportunity to complete the training whenever it fits your schedule best.
>> “I’m concerned about the effectiveness of virtual learning compared to in-person training.”
Rest assured, our virtual academy is designed with your success in mind. We leverage state-of-the-art technology to deliver a seamless learning experience. Engage with expert instructors through our virtual community, and learn through virtual lessons, interactive exercises and case studies.
>> “Cost is a major factor for me.”
Attending an in-person training typically involves significant expenses such as flights, hotels, rental cars, gas, tolls, and per diem. Our self-paced Forensic Supervisor Level II Virtual Academy eliminates these costs entirely, making it a budget-friendly option. We offer exceptional value without compromising on the quality of content and instruction. Invest in your professional development without straining your department’s budget.
