Every organization inevitably has to terminate an employee. But occasionally, what might seem to be a standard termination, could become a high-risk situation. But what is a high-risk termination? Couldn’t all terminations — especially those where the terminated individuals are armed — be considered “high-risk terminations?”

This discussion will provide an introductory discussion about what every criminal justice agency should include in their pre-termination planning: pre-incident behavior pattern recognition, planning for the termination, and follow-up considerations.

How many lost pets are coming into your local animal shelter in an average year? In Virginia, public animal shelters receive thousands of lost pets each year, with many of them never being reclaimed. In response, Loudoun County Animal Services initiated a series of programs to help lost pets find their way back home, simultaneously identifying and reaching out to the communities least likely to reclaim lost pets. This webinar will take you through the budget-friendly process they implemented to get lost pets back home, and help you keep owned pets with their families, saving room at the shelter for animals who need it most.

The landscape of policing is constantly changing. Agencies are struggling with staffing and other areas such as wellness to keep law enforcement officers happy is now a priority. Civil rest, the mass exodus of law enforcement officers, and the lack of interest in the profession demand a need for a different type of leader to manage the changing culture of justice employees. A different leader who understands the nuances of law enforcement and leverages the complexities to improve morale and change the culture for justice professionals for the better.

International bots, troll farms, shepherds: they have been active on social media for more than a decade, but in recent divisive years, they’ve really come to the forefront for law enforcement agencies. While trying to manage an already difficult online landscape, police social media managers found themselves trying to cope with an avalanche of questionably legitimate social media accounts trying to sew discord in their communities. Participants will learn the origin and practices of fake accounts, how to identify bots and trolls and what to do about them, even when that misinformation spreads in your own organization.

This talk will discuss a concept that we all have innate wisdom, knowing inside of us, and that when we utilize it, we will be able to know what to do, and act on it quickly. Often times we find ourselves in circumstances where we are caught up trying to decide what needs to be done to solve a problem. Stress and pressure build when we cannot figure out what to do. When we get stuck here we are not making timely decisions, due to a lack of trust that it will be the right one. Most of us can think of a time we made a decision we knew in our gut was not the best, and it turned into a disaster later. But what we lose sight of, and will see again here, is that you can hear and trust your gut to be your personal GPS, guiding you and helping you take swift effective actions without getting caught up in head-spinning trying to figure it out. Learning to trust yourself, can amplify effective productivity, and give you an edge in adapting to change quickly and finding new solutions to old problems.

At the end of the presentation, the learner should be able to:

• Understand the concept of the innate wisdom they have built inside them.
• See how they can utilize it as their own personal GPS, guiding them into swift effective actions to solve problems.
• Have an example of what the application of these concepts and principles looks like in real-time for them.
• Have a new level of confidence and trust in themselves, and stop second-guessing their ability to make good decisions.
• Get more done in less time, by eliminating the time spent overthinking decisions.

By tracking the exact location of gun violence, we gain valuable data that can be used for delivering targeted, non-enforcement-based interventions. These interventions are designed to bring social and economic resources to the doorsteps of residents who have recently or persistently experienced gun and gang violence.

Made possible through data-sharing between law enforcement, offices of violence prevention and community stakeholders, these interventions have been shown to prevent immediate retaliation and address the trauma and toxic stress that are known causes of systemic violence in at-risk communities.

Join our webinar of skilled experts and practitioners to learn more about this non-traditional use of data, how it all works, and how it’s already helping to prevent violence in a handful of diverse cities across the country.

Firearms are inherently lethal when combined with intimate partner violence (IPV). Victim advocates serve on the front lines of IPV and receive training on the basics of safety planning, risk assessment, and state and federal firearm laws. Yet, advocates do not receive specific training on how to discuss firearms with victims. This gap in knowledge leads advocates to feel uncomfortable and unlikely to address firearms with victims. Advocates note fears of offending victims, entering into a gun control debate and inadequate knowledge about firearms as common barriers to discussing firearms.  The Advocacy for Firearm Awareness and Risk (AFAR) training seeks to provide advocates with specific knowledge and tools to improve their comfort in and likelihood of speaking about firearms with their clients. This training will focus on identifying and building competencies, understanding why firearm discussions are a must, and becoming mindful of how the advocate’s biases may be a barrier to a victim’s safety.

During Part 2 of this training, participants will learn the “How” of speaking with clients about firearms. This includes processing your own biases and barriers to having firearm safety conversations, how to approach the clients from a trauma informed lens regarding firearm safety and risk and how to build competencies in the area of firearm safety in intimate partner violence (IPV) situations.

Does adverting a school attack ensure that the threat of violence has been mitigated? In 2018 a youth at Michigan High School was arrested after his mother uncovered a school shooting plot. Although the school shooting was averted, the subject of concern went on to conduct a tragic act of violence after his release from juvenile detention three years later.

Researchers from the National Policing Institute and Michigan State University, Department of Psychiatry will present a case study of the events to demonstrate the challenges of managing adolescents in community settings who are at risk of committing an act of targeted violence. The presentation will highlight the need for ongoing engagement and management of persons of concern in the community to reduce dangerousness and support rehabilitation.

The case study presents valuable lessons learned for public safety, educators, behavioral health professionals, and juvenile/criminal justice officials. Specific emphasis is placed on the need for collaborative multidisciplinary interventions to prevent acts of targeted mass violence that endure after mitigating the initial crisis.

The American Jail Association (AJA) is a national, nonprofit organization that supports the professionals who operate our Nation’s jails. It is the only national association that focuses exclusively on issues specific to the operations of local correctional facilities. The driving force behind the phenomenal growth of AJA is its members. AJA has taken a leadership role in developing the type of programs that promote the professional growth of the dedicated men and women who operate our Nation’s jails.  Jail staff have the responsibility for the management of people who have been charged with violating our laws and often mock the ideals on which AJA was founded. Jail personnel find themselves sorely tested each day in the jail environment when they receive scorn and derision for their loyalty and perseverance under extremely trying circumstances.  AJA takes this opportunity to salute the jail staff of the Nation who, by their dedication to the difficult task of local corrections, have made a vital, positive difference to the welfare of the communities they serve.  Click here to learn more about AJA. 

Prosecutor’s offices, like many sectors, are experiencing significant staff turnover and burnout amongst high caseload, backlogs, and other work and life stressors.

In 2022, being aware of the security threats against your agency is critical. What’s even more important, however, is ensuring that your employees have the skills to combat the threats that will inevitably arise. While many organizations use security awareness education as a tool to protect themselves and their employees, it is not always easy to know what should be included, or how best to go about actually employing the plan.

In this webinar, Jim Emerson will walk through some of the reasons that security awareness programs are needed, including several case studies of recent cyber-attacks in which having increased security awareness through an established program could have made all the difference. TJ Nicholls will then cover how Nlets – the International Justice and Public Safety Network built their program, and what techniques they recommend to keep your organization safe. Then, together, they will host a conversation about how attendees may build their own security awareness programs to protect their agencies.

During this webinar, experts from Idaho, Nlets, and NCIC will talk with you about how offline searches to their systems can assist you with your investigations. If you are not familiar with the term “offline search”, it is simply a method by which law enforcement officials can request historical data based on a date range that is pertinent to their investigation. Examples will be provided during the webinar. The panelists will explain what types of information can be obtained from their systems, which will hopefully give law enforcement a better understanding of where they should go for the historical data that is needed for their investigation(s).

Starting with Connecticut’s Desmond’s Law, Courtroom Animal Advocate Programs provide a statutory basis for courts to appoint independent pro-bono counsel to assist the judge, prosecutor, and defense counsel in meeting the interests of animals involved in cruelty cases. As such, these laws unite the goals of two legal fields: victim rights law – which argues that crime victims have a meaningful place in their own cases – and animal law – which argues that animals have legally cognizable interests.

The Animal Legal Defense  Fund’s David B. Rosengard joins Justice Clearinghouse in examining different approaches these laws take to spotlighting the needs of animals as crime victims, and ways that Advocates working under these programs give rise to better outcomes, by fulfilling a role separate from that of either the prosecutor or defense.

This presentation utilizes the presenter’s personal experiences as a childhood victim of domestic violence along with his continuing research in the area of family violence. As a teen, the presenter was once told by his father, “Someday you will understand (why I do this to your mom)”. Fortunately, that day of accepting the abuse occurring in the home has never come.

This webinar will highlight key concepts for ending generational cycles of familial abuse, explore how concepts from initiatives to end generational cycles for other public health issues are also relevant, explain the importance of working at this issue from both directions (separate but equally effective programs for victims and perpetrators) and identify key areas of intervention for family violence professionals (law enforcement, court systems, animal welfare, education, medical, faith-based, etc.) in efforts to end abuse in the home. Ending generational cycles of familial abuse not only results in improved health outcomes for all humans and animals who currently reside in the home, but for the generations who follow as well.

This is part one of a two-part webinar series that addresses a major problem in corrections, specifically the manipulation of correctional staff by criminal offenders. All correctional staff, including juvenile and adult institutions, and community corrections (probation and parole), are targets for the offender manipulator. Also targeted are people who try to help offenders and staff programs, mental health, substance abuse, volunteers, chaplain’s staff, medical, food service, and maintenance.

This webinar is designed to get staff thinking about who they are dealing with, and how manipulation can destroy professional lives, careers, and the public trust. To guard against the manipulator, a corrections staff member must know their adversary.

During Part I:  The Inmate Subculture, we will discuss:

• The criminal offender: Why offenders commit crimes
• The criminal offender: Resisting correctional supervision
• The definition and examples of manipulation: How offenders use manipulation; Discussion of contraband smuggling, sexual misconduct, boundary violations, and escapes

The term “community engagement” gets thrown around a lot, as if it is something that an officer can do if they have a few extra minutes.  To unlock the full potential of community engagement, however, we must start thinking of it as less of a project and more of a state of mind. This lifesaving philosophy will not only help save the lives of animals but could potentially save an officer’s life as well.  In this course you will learn how embracing community engagement as a mindset can, and will, increase lifesaving efforts and officer safety.

Pre-COVID saw Law Enforcement in a Mental Health crisis, with officers experiencing the mental health effects of stress well beyond the civilian population, and taking their own lives at twice the rate as the civilian community. This crisis continues.

All the events that have transpired during the last two years, which include not only the worldwide COVID pandemic but also protests and discussions of police defunding, all during a steep rise in crime have added a new crisis: officers leaving law enforcement in larger numbers than we have ever experienced.

Burnout has been identified as a key factor in this crisis. Burnout is an organizational issue, caused by long-term unmanaged stress, causing extreme emotional exhaustion, and cynicism, which leads to officers to disengage from their work, and ultimately leave the force prematurely.

This webinar will outline the causes and symptoms of Burnout, and identify how as an organizational issue, it differs from Compassion Fatigue, which is often due to operational policing causes. Burnout is different from stress and compassion fatigue, and as such requires a different approach to deal with it. The talk aims to provide insights into solutions that individual officers as well as leaders, can help put in place to re-engage their officers, increase officer wellbeing and metal health, and motivation to stay in the force.

The American Society of Evidence–Based Policing is a non-profit organization started by working police officers designed to drive the national conversation towards ensuring that the least harmful, most effective, fairest, and safest strategies are employed to prevent crime, reduce harm, and improve community wellness.

The ability of law enforcement agencies to respond to emerging threats and future goals depends on the implementation of new operational initiatives, policies, and programs based on leveraging community resources and evidence-informed practices. The purpose of this webinar is to discuss strategies for establishing collaborative partnerships between law enforcement and academic institutions and researchers. Law enforcement personnel have an obligation to strengthen their existing practices and through a collaborative process and engaging with academic institutions interdisciplinary teams are able to review essential aspects of the proposed research, determine the potential impact on local resources, and identify strategies to enhance existing practices. Academic-community collaboration can enhance law enforcement operations, provide additional services to the community, and enhance existing research through scientific inquiry to assist with answering practical operational questions that are needed.

Security assessments are an important process in determining the value and importance of an organization’s assets and the cost and impacts should they be compromised. Assets are not only technological and can span networks, devices, data, intelligence and even materials, equipment, inventories and human workers and the workforce.

Every organization sector has a different reliance on assets and the security controls for them will differ, reflecting their value as well as levels of confidentiality and sometimes legislative requirements. Both private and public sectors, across all industries will find this webinar useful. Law enforcement, government and military will find this webinar very useful as it covers assessment and compliance with NIST and also addresses the importance of the Authorization to Operate and that the proper controls are selected and implemented.

This webinar will cover the basics of the Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A) process, generically and using the industry standard NIST 800:53. It will also cover the main SA&A deliverables and reports and what they are used for, and SA&A formulas and procedures for assessing assets, the current security posture, vulnerabilities, and the four threat scenarios we aim the protect against. A short discussion on insider threats will be given to provide an understanding of how this threat is a derivative of the common threat scenarios and how it is mitigated through certain security controls and the security assessment tool, TIGIR, will be used to demonstrate some of the more complex deliverables. Other standards and assessments, such as SOC 1,23, ISO 27000 series, CMMC and others will also be explained. Attendees will leave with a working knowledge on develop the scope and how to perform a security assessment and the NIST standard, as well as an understanding of other industry standards, and common terms and deliverables in Security Assessments.

It’s 2023…what are you going to do this year to become a better leader? I know as a leader you are busy. Too busy no matter what position you hold in your organization. When I was in an executive role at a large sheriff’s office, I was often frustrated with the day to day demands that often kept me from the big picture concerns I had. Let’s start this year off right with easy wins and small goals, leaving the idea of perfection in the past. We are human and as a result we take a step back on occasion but let’s develop an obtainable, usable plan that moves us forward. We will talk about small, incremental changes and habits that can be formed for personal growth. Do you have five minutes a day for growth? Then join me as we work to navigate the leadership journey!

A law enforcement officer seizes a dying horse without a warrant. An abused animal is brought to a veterinarian for euthanasia and cremation, but instead is necropsied. A law enforcement officer shields onlooking children from a cat’s body by placing it in a nearby dumpster. A veterinarian does a warrantless blood draw to diagnose a malnourished dog, and the blood results are used in a criminal prosecution. In animal cruelty cases, the animal’s body—whether dead or alive—is a crime scene. Many law enforcement professionals have not been trained to properly preserve and search that crime scene, and yet they are forced to do so, without compromising the evidence, the defendant’s constitutional rights, or the animal’s health or life. These cases present novel search and seizure issues. Join the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s attorneys David Rosengard, Emily Lewis, and Kathleen Wood to discuss how these and other issues can be resolved for a successful prosecution, and how they can be addressed or avoided in future cases.

The purpose of this webinar is to provide the student with a deep understanding of what it means to be a police professional or public safety professionals.  We will ask and answer the following questions. What does or should the term police professionalism mean to officers and public safety professionals? What does it mean to the public? What role does leadership play regarding this term?

For any team to succeed, there must be a significant degree of trust which allows them to perform at their highest level.  Most leaders want a well-functioning and high-performing team.  But the process to get a team to that level involves a common denominator for any high-performance team:  trust.   Without creating a culture of trust, a team and organization will not reach it highest potential.

Let’s consider Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.  It can be looked upon to determine what level of trust we provide to our teams which helps them achieve their highest potential.  Creating a culture of trust involves a hands-on approach which will enable you to become an involved supervisor, manager, or executive that gets the most performance out of your people.

Evaluate the following questions about how to embrace psychological safety in the workplace:

• How is conflict handled on your team?
• How are differing perspectives considered and evaluated on my team?
• How can intellectual curiosity be used as a mechanism for psychological safety?
• What mechanisms do I have in place to evaluate team performance?
• How can psychological safety be measured?

This webinar will provide the assessment skills needed to create a level of psychological safety to get the most out of any team.  It is a starting point for positive change and its effects can impact the broader organization.

“The thing that breaks your heart is the very thing you were born to help heal.”- Glennon Doyle.  What role does passion play in your life? In public safety, passion is almost a job requirement. If passion fuels our purpose, we must find it, follow it, and protect it. Though this is easier said than done, the fight to find and keep our passion in 911 is well worth the effort. Coming out of 2020, let’s rediscover the power that lives within our passion.

The audience will learn:

• How to find the thing that you are passionate about.
• Why it’s important to effect change, no matter how small, and realize how making a difference in your center can lead to big things.
• Why your passion is so powerful, how it can knock us down sometimes, and how we can cultivate the courage to keep going when it gets difficult.

Those who work in First Responder and public safety careers see a whole lot of really traumatic things throughout their career. While many do get somewhat desensitized after being exposed to one horrible incident after another, almost every First Responder, at the end of his or her career, will tell you there are a few cases that just really stick with them. In this webinar we’ll discuss why many cases are those that fade into a background montage of incidents, while some take a stronghold, reminding us with images, sounds, and other reminders. We’ll talk about the types of incidents as well as the triggers they cause, and post-trauma responses that are the natural consequence of being exposed to trauma and horrific events on-the-job. Also discussed will be treatment options and healing resources for trauma, to help alleviate the pain caused by remembering these significant events.

This webinar will briefly describe the characteristics of individuals on the autism spectrum as well as a brief description of common situations in which individuals with autism encounter law enforcement officers and other criminal justice professionals. We will then explore strategies for successfully interacting with individuals with autism within the context of several case studies of actual interactions across settings from police and first responders in the community through court and custodial environments. Participants will be asked to brainstorm and problem-solve multiple alternative response options as part of reviewing the scenarios. By the end of the webinar, participants should be able to identify specific strategies that can be used to support successful interactions with individuals on the spectrum and how those strategies can be applied across a variety of real-world situations and settings.

Contact with first responding officers proves critical to the victim’s recovery and the victim’s decision as to whether or not they will move forward in the criminal justice system. First, responding officers can also play a critical role in the success of a sex crimes investigation.  Victims can feel helpless, vulnerable, and frightened by the trauma of the crime.  Supporting the victim’s feelings can help officers build needed rapport and trust and gain information to assist the investigation.

Founded in 1954, the Humane Society of the United States and its affiliates around the globe fight the big fights to end suffering for all animals. Together with millions of supporters, the HSUS takes on puppy mills, factory farms, trophy hunts, animal testing and other cruel industries, and together with its affiliates, rescues and provides direct care for over 100,000 animals every year. The HSUS works on reforming corporate policy, improving and enforcing laws and elevating public awareness on animal issues.

In responding to animal cruelty, both legal professionals and mental health clinicians are often frustrated by challenges involved in identifying why the crime took place and how to reduce the likelihood of future cruelty by addressing those underlying factors – all while meeting the needs of animal victims.

In response, the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the University of Denver’s Institute for Human-Animal Connection have developed a certification program that—by surfacing the interests of animal victims—facilitates assessing causative factors on a case-by-case basis, and translating those to targeted outcomes responsive to the needs of animal victims, defendants, and their communities.

Join two of the program architects—ALDF Managing Attorney David B. Rosengard and ALDF Criminal Justice Fellow Jessica Chapman—as they discuss conundrums implicated by overlapping legal and mental health approaches to addressing animal maltreatment, and how grappling with those within a One Health framework illuminates a path towards a better understanding of risk, a more complete remediation for those harmed, and ultimately more resilient individuals and communities.

The major tasks of a police investigation is typically to collect, assess and utilize a great variety of sources of information that provide accounts of crime and make decisions on these, to make decisions in high-risk environments, and assess the quality of information and reports used for decision-making purposes.

The main challenge to investigators is to make important decisions. A lot of information, much of which may be of unknown reliability, needs to be amassed and digested. Science shows us that these are conditions that may lead to biases in thought processes, and consequently decision making. Recognition of the potential for these problems can lead to the development of procedures to reduce their likelihood.

This webinar aims to highlight how we may apply an understanding of psychology to the area of investigative decision-making as applied to analyzing crime scenes and will introduce participants to the importance of Informed Decision Making and Evidence Led Practice. This will be done with particular emphasis on two key areas of focus:

• Understanding how the brain impacts how we see and interpret information
• Understanding how our brains influence what we determine as being important, and as such how this influences the information we collect at the crime scene, which can often lead to using information that can lead the investigation astray.

The American Jail Association (AJA) is a national, nonprofit organization that supports the professionals who operate our Nation’s jails. It is the only national association that focuses exclusively on issues specific to the operations of local correctional facilities. The driving force behind the phenomenal growth of AJA is its members. AJA has taken a leadership role in developing the type of programs that promote the professional growth of the dedicated men and women who operate our Nation’s jails.  Jail staff have the responsibility for the management of people who have been charged with violating our laws and often mock the ideals on which AJA was founded. Jail personnel find themselves sorely tested each day in the jail environment when they receive scorn and derision for their loyalty and perseverance under extremely trying circumstances.  AJA takes this opportunity to salute the jail staff of the Nation who, by their dedication to the difficult task of local corrections, have made a vital, positive difference to the welfare of the communities they serve.  Click here to learn more about AJA.

This is not your typical retirement webinar. You won’t learn about finances, investing, and social security. Instead, the focus will be intangibles—the mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual components of a healthy, meaningful retirement.

Whether you’ve already retired or you’re getting close, this presentation will help you contemplate the aspects of retired life that most people neglect to consider.

You’ll hear from three retired first responders and one spouse of a retired first responder. They’ll share their wisdom and experience with you and help you take actionable steps toward planning a rich, rewarding retirement.

There is a lot of overlap between the roles of police officers and Sheriff’s deputies, who are expected to be masters in all things related to public safety and law enforcement, and animal control and humane officers, who are expected to be masters in all things animal-related.  That overlap is increasing as pets become our children.  We share two common goals: safety for all—people and animals alike; and successful prosecution of those who endanger that safety.  We need to reduce our insular thinking and include each other in our respective viewpoints, priorities and methods.   This webinar will help bridge the gap and start a conversation between these two branches of law enforcement so we can better support each other, ensure more successful operations on both sides, help prosecutors do their job, and reduce everyone’s workload.

This session will cover:

• Roles of police/deputies in animal-related incidents
• Roles of animal control/humane officers in law enforcement
• Sources of authority of police/deputies and of animal control/humane officers, and how they differ
• Recognizing the gaps in training/expertise in both fields
• Common goals and ways to achieve them
• Benefits of working together

We are aware that trauma has a lasting impact on the victims, survivors and those closest to them. But the effects, behaviors and contributors of the trauma may be passed on for generations. This can happen genetically, prenatally, developmentally, and culturally to name a few, and often the intergenerational family culture is the vehicle by which this occurs. This presentation will discuss the variety of ways that trauma and its impact are passed on intergenerationally, and how it effects the body, brain, and various aspects of development. Also discussed are intervention approaches that not only include the survivor and perpetrator, but the family and its culture as well.

UAS technology (commonly referred to as drones) can be used by public safety agencies to enhance community service, increase situational awareness, and provide de-escalation strategies to keep first responders and the community safe. Agencies implementing a drone program must recognize and understand the legitimate public concerns about surveillance and privacy and take steps to ensure their UAS program is accepted by society. Special focus must occur on addressing concerns about public trust, civil liberties, and the public’s right to privacy during UAS operations. Public engagement, identifying ethical landmines, and a commitment to transparency are key factors to a successful public safety UAS program. Learn about different considerations and concerns when implementing a UAS program and how to increase UAS advocates in your community.

• The importance of community engagement
• The legal and ethical considerations when implementing a UAS program
• Privacy concerns and mitigation factors
• UAS operational considerations for a successful program

Are your goals and objectives at work consistently being met? Are your interactions with others in the workplace ever a bit rocky and you wish they were smoother? Have you ever had expectations of your employees that they did not meet? If so, then you are like countless supervisors, managers, and executives who have expressed these frustrations. If the “three things that matter in real estate” involve the word location, then we can likewise say that what matters in our interactions with others is “communication, communication, communication.” Without effective communication, we are much less likely to achieve effective outcomes. During this training, Dr. Sherman will discuss methods to help ensure that communication is serving you. You will learn ways to deliver the most succinct information, ensure that it is heard and understood, and build collaboration and cooperation as a result.

The National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership.

As our society evolves, there is an increasing expectation that police officers will perform at a higher level regarding use of force than in the past. This webinar will address how law enforcement agencies can improve officer force performance using an evidence-based approach. It will address mining the multiple sources of vital information already present within agencies, and how to incorporate that data into a training needs assessment. It will also discuss how a needs assessment informs the development of relevant and realistic training which will ultimately improve force performance.

The American Society of Evidence–Based Policing is a non-profit organization started by working police officers designed to drive the national conversation towards ensuring that the least harmful, most effective, fairest, and safest strategies are employed to prevent crime, reduce harm, and improve community wellness.

The United States has five major territories: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Collectively, the territories are home to roughly 4 million individuals. However, discussions on issues facing the nation often exclude the territories from the conversation. Conversations on pertinent national issues should always include the territories, and our discussions on issues relevant to animal law and protection are no exception. In some ways, the territories face challenges to animal protection that are similar to those faced by stateside jurisdictions; in other ways, their challenges are specific to their particular community and environment. This webinar will discuss some of the challenges faced by territories, as well as point to the current legal and policy approaches aimed at protecting animals and criminalizing maltreatment in each territory. It will also provide an overview of the territories’ legal systems, explain their unique relationships with the federal government, and highlight the specific types of animal maltreatment prevalent in these communities.

Some surveys have shown that 1 in 4 Americans have been a victim of cybercrime in the last year.  Whether the victim’s case will be investigated and prosecuted or not, whether they lost $100 or $1 million, each will likely need guidance to recover and reinforce their cyber security.  Cybercrime Support Network (CSN) has the resources to help these victims.  This webinar will point out the top cyber frauds we see, and highlight the resources available for cybercrime victims via CSN which you can use right now at no cost.  As well as several simple things people can do to prevent their victimization online.

The ROAR response model minutely dissects facets of field response and is considered a roadmap to de-escalation (crisis stabilization), field dynamics and decision making.  It is applicable to field responders, including, but not limited to, peace officers.  ROAR is equally applicable to mental health (crisis) responders and community outreach workers.  ROAR’s design innately identifies stabilizing and de-stabilizing factors which are integral in the responder’s utilization of windows of opportunity.  The collection of these variables amounts to scene management, which is critically important in all calls for service and overarches the highly sought out outcome of de-escalation (crisis stabilization).  This response model has been specifically adapted to special populations and multiple versions exist relative to field contacts involving military veterans and people experiencing homelessness.  Furthermore, ROAR is being explored for application to situations involving domestic violence and human trafficking.

What is the number one stressor in the workplace? Is it the emotional or physical toll our careers take on us? Is it citizens or clients that demand too much with little or no support or appreciation? Those things can and are stressful, but research tells us it is the internal or organizational stress that causes the most damage. We expect demands from those we serve, but when it comes from the organization, it blindsides us. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we will examine the sources of organizational stress and why they exist.  Then we will identify ways to mitigate the effects of organizational stress from the perspective of a frontline employee.

• Deciding what is within your circle of influence and control
• Learning how to effectively influence what is outside your control
• How to communicate (and delegate) up the org chart
• How to effectively cope with organizational stress

Both frontline employees and administrators are encouraged to attend both sessions of this two-part webinar to gain perspectives from both views. In doing so, you learn to understand the pressures that exist at all levels to fulfill the mission of your organization.

The role news media plays in shaping public perceptions of law enforcement has been significant since the Rodney King incident in 1991; this interest and heavy media scrutiny has only been renewed following events such as those in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 and the murder of George Floyd in 2020.

While law enforcement agencies have taken positive news stories into their own hands via their respective social media channels, it is important for agencies to continue to work with news outlets, building relationships with reporters and assignment editors, and securing positive attention. However, it can be increasingly difficult to place a story in today’s increasingly competitive media landscape. This webinar will help participants:

• Discover the latest, most practical ways to identify the ideal outlets or media contacts that will most likely want your content
• Determine what elements you will need in order to best position your news or content for success
• Learn how to best sustain interest in your agency, leadership, and programs in order to enhance your chances for ongoing positive stories

Quality leadership in law enforcement is arguably more important today than at any other time in modern history. The national narrative and calls for police reform have added complexity to already challenging leadership roles. Moreover, law enforcement organizations may be restructured and reorganized, making agile leaders who can quickly and effectively adapt to new roles essential to their organizations.

“Leadership Out of Your Comfort Zone: Best Practices & Proven Strategies for Success” presents an evidence-driven formula and tangible strategies for how individual leaders can succeed in new roles that are not directly related to their core expertise and training. Have you ever been promoted to a leadership position from an outside organization? Are you part of an executive leadership team or command staff with the shortest tenure in your organization, or the shortest tenure in the profession? Have you ever been the only female in a new unit, the only person of color, the youngest, the oldest, the one with a skill-set gap in investigations or as part of a tactical team? This presentation will adapt proven leadership principles for leaders seeking to become more agile and adaptable to succeed in new and challenging roles; roles that require sharpening existing leadership tools, developing new ones, and precise execution to be successful.

 In this course, we discuss the human element of leading and working within a disaster/emergency response incident command system.  We will discuss how individuals and agencies might collaborate, communicate, coordinate, cooperate, and function as a highly efficient and effective unified command. We will look at the role preparedness plays including preplanning and training.

Public safety recruitment and hiring is a significant concern nationwide, with agencies struggling to maintain basic operations due to staffing shortages across public safety. While many agencies are desperately searching for innovative and successful recruiting strategies to attract and hire employees through external methods, this webinar will discuss an internal evidence-based approach on how to gauge what attracted, and ultimately led to the successful hiring of, police cadets at the Charleston Police Department. Findings of this study resulted in relevant and practical applications that may be adopted by agencies universally as a method to identify both strengths and limitations of recruitment and hiring processes.

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to implement the provided roadmap to:

• Engage validated strategies to assess current recruitment efforts.
• Gather rich data for a full understanding of onboarding experiences from new employees.
• Interpret findings into practical evidence-based strategies.
• Successfully isolate and focus marketing/branding efforts.

Now, more than ever mental health has been a buzz phrase to promote self-care or external care from mental health professionals with demands from community, law enforcement professionals, and allocated funding to tackle the invisible injuries. Traditional employee assistance programs (EAPs) are commonly provided by organizations, but how often, effective, or trusted are the programs?

This case study explores the partnership between Lieutenant Khaliqa Wheatley and Kathleen ‘Kat’ Hensley, LMHC, CFRC, tackling the stigma of mental health amongst public safety professionals, adopting a holistic approach to mental health and wellness by serving as a hub of resources, and integrating a hands-on employee assistance program. The two, together care for the unique Walton County Sheriff’s Office members through a multitude of resources to bridge the dichotomy between an agency member’s needs and the needs of the organization. The Walton County Sheriff’s Office encompasses law enforcement operations, jail operations, communications, fire rescue, animal services, and the child protection unit all under one umbrella, which has shown to have unique challenges that arise in each individual profession or simply, forgotten about.

This case study will show the process into the program development, challenges, and the identification of needs from all facets of the organization, not just high-risk members.

• What is a holistic approach to mental health and wellness?
• How do we identify the needs of the organization’s culture and members?
• Keyways to break down the stigma of mental health amongst public safety professionals ‘they’re taking my gun from me’, ‘they’re taking my certification from me’. ‘I won’t be promoted after this.’
• Factors to consider when taking on a large program that touches individuals, serving the community, their families, and agency business needs with respect to legal implications

This webinar will have a strong focus on attorneys, advocates, and judges who interact with traumatized children in their courtrooms.  This talk will also be highly relevant for other providers who work directly with the courts (e.g., therapists and police officers).  Specific “Trauma Basics” will be covered such as Complex Trauma vs. PTSD, why evidence-based treatments are more powerful than non-evidence-based treatments, secondary trauma, and others.  Specific tools will be given as examples of what a “Trauma-Informed Court” looks like such as the “NCTSN Bench Card for the Trauma-Informed Judge.”  Lastly, immediate steps that can be taken today will be focused on for audience members in order to help them start moving towards a “Trauma-Informed Court”.

In the wake of an unprecedented call for further reform heard during the summer of 2020, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) is standing up a CompStat-style accountability forum focused on the continuous monitoring of measures of Equity, Accountability and Quality (EAQ). Seattle PD is utilizing a Risk Management approach to leverage measures of disparate outcomes in Terry stops, over and under policing of communities, and service quality for awareness, mitigation, and continuous improvement. The discussion will also include SPD’s collaboration with RTI International as an external quality assurance and evaluation partner to assist with the implementation of their EAQ program and next steps with the project implementation.
