If you are interested in bringing NW3C’s training to your area and your agency is a member of the National White Collar Crime Center, you must formalize your request by submitting a letter on agency letterhead. You must be able to meet the requirements for hosting a course (see below). Please specify which course or courses you are interested in hosting and if you are requesting more than one, please rank them in order of preference. Please see our web site www.nw3c.org for additional information to assist in determining the course(s) that most closely fit your agency's needs. The letter should be sent to the following address:

National White Collar Crime Center
1000 Technology Dr. Suite 2130
Fairmont , WV 26554

NW3C pays instructor travel expenses and laboratory shipment costs. If there are any costs associated with use of the facility selected by the host agency, they are the sole responsibility of the host agency and cannot be passed on to NW3C or course attendees. Refreshments are not required, but should the host agency serve them, it would be at their expense.

The demand for these courses is very high and we are not able to fulfill all the requests that are received. However, we do maintain and review all letters that are submitted each time we select host locations. If you wish to be considered as a host location it is important that you formalize the request. Once we receive your letter of intent to host, you will be e-mailed a site coordinator form to complete and return via e-mail. Upon receipt of the site coordinator form and subsequent approval, we will contact you if your agency has been selected to host one of our courses.
