The criminal justice system in the United States produces vast amounts of data on a daily basis. However, these data are rarely used by agencies beyond the tracking of individual cases. Measures for Justice has developed a system that leverages the data already collected by local agencies to assess the health of the criminal justice system at the county level. This webinar will discuss the importance of using data to identify problematic patterns that need correction as well as best practices that could be replicated.

Webinar attendees will learn about the essential aspects of turning data into action, including:

• Developing performance indicators to track goals,
• Identifying the type of data needed to populate performance indicators,
• Addressing issues of data access and quality,
• Best practices for data processing, and
• Communicating complex data in ways that are easy to understand by all stakeholders.

An animal subjected to cruelty or neglect is a crime victim unlike any other.  She is simultaneously a living being who requires care and treatment; living evidence of crime whose condition must be documented and handled in a way that does not jeopardize the case against her alleged abuser; and a crime victim entitled to certain statutory protections and sentencing considerations—all while being the property of her abuser, who may retain a constitutionally protected ownership interest.  Join Emily Lewis and Jamie Contreras, Senior Staff Attorneys with Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Criminal Justice Program, for a discussion of the complex status of animals in criminal law.

Throughout the nation, law enforcement organizations utilize a variety of strategies to recruit qualified applicants. Despite these efforts, many organizations struggle to fill vacancies. This issue may, in part, relate to reliance on outdated recruiting methods. Social media has transformed the way in which organizations in other fields market to customers and potential employees alike. While some law enforcement organizations use social media, few organizations leverage research to develop tailored social media marketing strategies. Choices about platforms, content, and other issues that define organizational image can all impact the effectiveness of using social media for recruiting. Understanding these choices can support the development of a cohesive social media strategy that may better serve organizational goals.

 

In this webinar, attendees will:

• Explore how social media defines organizational images in law enforcement.
• Consider how organizational image impacts who applies for law enforcement positions.
• Discuss the impact of choices in social media strategy, including choice of platforms and considerations about messaging, and how these choices may relate to hiring goals.

So you have begun to manage your intake procedures, this may mean scheduled owner surrender hours or limited days of intake, not it’s time to take a step back and assess how the program is working.  This session will help to guide you through a program analysis of your managed intake program and provide some suggestions for the next steps and ways that other agencies have taken a basic program and moved it to the next level!

Corrections is the birthplace of tomorrow’s security problems. It should come as no surprise that a massive network of criminals in one location has led to the creation of the Aryan Brotherhood, Puro Tango Blast, and the Islamic State. It also sustained ongoing criminal operations for human traffickers and become a recruitment center for Mexican drug cartels. If so much information can be gleaned about emerging threats, why is corrections so often overlooked as a key component in intelligence collection operations?

With county corrections as a case study, the first webinar in this 3-part series on corrections intelligence makes the case for corrections intelligence and why it must be transformed into a strategic initiative across local, state, and federal programs. It is arguably the most effective way to stay ahead of ever-evolving, increasingly complex criminal networks.

Does your agency investigate and respond to criminal cases involving animals? How do you obtain legal custody of the animal victims? Animals are property under the law, which means agencies who remove them from their owners must ensure they are standing on solid legal ground. Agencies seizing animals in criminal cases face many challenges. Animals are the evidence of the crime but, with time, their conditions change. Wounds heal and illness and disease are treated. The evidentiary value of the animals’ condition diminishes as they recover.  Therefore, by the time the case goes to court, the current condition of the animal or its presence in the courtroom is not necessary to make the case.  Animal victims deserve to recover and be placed into a suitable permanent home as quickly as possible. This session will explore civil remedies agencies have to secure custody of seized animals.

Safe and effective community supervision has never been more valuable, with new pressures on agencies to use remote communication strategies to stay in contact with and support individuals under supervision. And as policies and practices are changing almost daily, supervision agencies will benefit from cooperation from participants. Research on procedural justice tells us voluntary compliance is built upon a handful of specific components: namely, respect, voice, understanding, and neutrality. This session discusses how adopting procedural justice’s trust-building strategies can maximize the impact of new communication techniques, whether via text, phone, or otherwise.  Based on the premise that “it’s not just what you do, but how you do it,” the session provides insight into how small, intentional changes in communication can significantly increase client trust and understanding. The presentation covers key client touchpoints, effective uses of approval and disapproval techniques, practical application of tools and techniques to help spark problem-solving and critical thinking, build trust, and improve communication and outcomes.

 

All of us want to live a healthier life both mentally and physically. We know eating well and staying in shape physically are important. But we also need to understand why it is just as important to stay healthy mentally. First, we will examine how the mind works and how it interacts with the body and our environment.

Using research-based evidence, we will examine the unique damage that can be done and how it affects our well-being. Then we will discuss resilience, why we need it BEFORE something bad happens and what we can do to build it. By the end, you will have a better understanding of how the mind works and a list of actionable solutions to make yourself and co-workers more resilient and mentally strong.

Selling is rarely discussed as a key leadership skill and training on this is even harder to find. This is ironic since all leadership challenges (i.e., conflict, having crucial conversations, being unable to give people what they want/need or think they deserve, organizational changes, budget requests) and the ability to overcome them are directly related to the ability to sell. This course will explore the key strategies, tools, and techniques you need to practice to become an effective “salesperson” at all levels of your organization. After this webinar, you will know how to more effectively get people on board, help them see the value in what you are selling and reduce resistance to new ideas and changes.

The essence of child neglect cases is proving in court that a caregiver acted in a way that resulted in harm to a child.  In most cases of neglect, however, the action of the caregiver is a lack of action entirely.  This results in the prosecution being in the unenviable position of proving a negative. During this presentation the presenters will discuss:

• Reviewing the appropriate medical records of the victim & how to present them to a judge or jury.
• Reviewing normal child growth & development & contrasting the normal with the victim.
• Obtaining forensic interviews of other children in the home about their diet & those of the victim.
• Leading a medical expert through the process of tying together the dangers of neglect & the potential for life long health consequences.

New technology that securely livestreams 911 emergency calls directly to officers in the field is making an impact on the public safety of communities across the country.  With Live911 software, patrol officers can monitor incoming 911 calls in real-time for their immediate area.  The software allows first responders to hear the caller’s urgency and small details that may not be entered into the CAD system as well as identify on a map the caller’s precise location prior to the call for service being dispatched.

The current national conversation is focusing on how officers can make better decisions and improve de-escalation skills.  Live911 is a law enforcement’s potential game-changer for responding to 911 calls.

Join, retired Captain Fritz Reber, Captain Greg Goreck, and Lieutenant Don Redmond to discuss:

• A history of incidents where this technology may have been useful
• How this technology was imagined, created, and tested
• Live911 deployments benefiting sheriff’s offices and police departments
• Real-world examples of reduced response times and increased situational awareness

In an era when nearly everyone is equipped with a smart phone with audio-visual recording ability the number of recorded negative encounters between law enforcement and the public over the issue of officers being recorded is distressing. In the webinar we are going to discuss and hopefully dispel the myth that in most cases when an officer is in a public area they have any legal protection against having their activities recorded. We are going to talk about the privacy rights, or lack thereof, of officers and third parties and when and where the legal right to record activities ends. We are going to look at case examples of what to do or not to do and practical and legal issues in an age where it may seem like the whole world is watching youR every move- because it just might be true.

While only a minority of jails offer any form of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) – methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone — many are exploring the feasibility of offering at least some form of MOUD given the number of individuals who are incarcerated who have OUD and are risk of overdose upon re-entry to the community. This webinar will highlight the methadone treatment program of the Maricopa County, AZ jail. Staff from the Maricopa County jail will describe how the jail received approval from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to operate an opioid treatment program – a state and federally regulated facility that provides methadone for OUD.  The logistics of how patients are identified, how medication is administered, and how clinical and custody staff interact will be covered in this presentation.

The current opioid epidemic is unprecedented in American history. On an average day, 130 people will die from an opioid overdose, and the rising number of opioid-related deaths is one driver of a recent decrease in average life expectancy in the United States. Such a crisis demands both a multidisciplinary, unified response and the development of guidance and tools to help serve law enforcement agencies and their partners on the front lines of the epidemic. Many agencies across the country have pursued a multitude of ideas and efforts in response to the epidemic. However, strengthening the national response to the crisis requires looking across such initiatives for more–broadly promising practices, identifying areas where more work is required to meet the national need, and promoting the adoption of strategies to save lives and reduce the impact on the country.  This webinar will discuss the science of opioids, how law enforcement has responded to the epidemic, the role of forensics, and the top issues associated with developing a comprehensive research agenda to impact the opioid crisis.

Dispatcher and crisis hotline staff both play important roles in helping individuals in moments of crisis. Although they both share the goal of helping the caller, the steps each role takes can differ greatly. This webinar will teach what those steps are, how shared information can speed up the process, and how each agency can best help the other to save a caller’s life.

 

This is part of a two-part series:

Silently enraged about the perceived murder of innocent Americans by their own Government at the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco and in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, as well as the perceived encroachment on American’s right to keep and bear arms, Timothy James McVeigh spent months planning and executing the deadliest domestic terrorism act in American History. Indicted and facing the death penalty, the eyes of the world turned to the historic 2 month-long trial in Denver, Colorado. Based on the original trial transcripts, interviews with some of the original trial participants, and extensive corollary research, the practitioner will glean lessons still relevant today:

• How prosecutors used circumstantial evidence to prove McVeigh’s guilt,
• The defense strategy to acquit McVeigh, and
• Themes used by both sides in their quest for victory in the death penalty phase.

 

This the second in a series of two webinars. 

• Oct 15:  Jack Ruby: The Original “Trial of the Century” 
• Nov 19: US v Timothy McVeigh: The Oklahoma City Bombing Trial (this webinar)

 

 

Comprehensive crime gun investigative methods and tools work very well and show rapid results in smaller jurisdictions.  Prosecution of armed felons, drug dealers and gang members in a systematic way with mandatory prison time is also part of the equation.  Communication with the community is also vital and showing results can increase participation of reluctant witnesses.

The webinar participant will learn strategies to identify and remove their most violent offenders.  Concentrated efforts in smaller jurisdictions can make a measurable difference in violent crime rates.  Partnerships with federal and state agencies are a great benefit to making these strategies work.  Communicating the results of your efforts to the community is vital both through meetings and the media.  Conviction statistics with prison time is much more powerful than reporting arrests.

Protective parents, investigators, & prosecutors, are sometimes confused by the fact that there are two (& sometimes three) different types of child sexual abuse examinations that may pertain to the same case for different reasons.  Even more confusing is the fact that different findings & outcomes are commonly associated with the various types & timing of sexual examinations.  During this presentation the presenters will:

• Differentiate & discuss emergent, delayed, & confirmatory sexual abuse examinations.
• Discuss the different types of medical findings most often associated with each type of examination.
• Discuss why a sexual abuse examination of any type might be normal despite clear & firm victim’s disclosures of abuse.
• Discuss the therapeutic effects of “normal” sexual abuse examinations.
• Differentiate medical history taking interviews of victims from forensic interviews.
• Discuss the need for on- going victim support after the examination.

Assessment processes for dogs in shelters have changed dramatically in recent years, with research findings driving a fundamental shift away from short, provocative battery-style behaviour tests to holistic, information-gathering assessment processes. This data-driven shift away from ‘poke-and-prod’ type tests has created some fantastic opportunities for animal management and sheltering professionals to improve not just their behaviour assessments, but also the level of care provided to animals, staff safety, and appropriate outcomes for the dogs themselves.

Come join Trish and Di to find out more about the research underpinning this seismic shift in procedure, and how you can move towards a more modern and holistic model for assessing dog behaviour in shelters.

You will learn:

• Summary of recent research findings relevant to animal behaviour assessments in applied environments
• Basic principles in canine behaviour and personality assessment
• How to implement a ‘data-gathering’ continuous assessment process in your facility, using fast-track and slow-track processes. We will include some tips and tricks that we’ve learned along the way, and help you improve flow and outcome.

Victim rights are a powerful tool for victims—and for law enforcement. Victims who have received their rights are stronger witnesses, more likely to share information with agents, and better able to testify. Victim rights are also an important means to protect and empower victims throughout the case. Law enforcement agents who understand victim rights can help victims to receive the voice they are entitled to and avoid rights violations that can sidetrack an investigation or prosecution. This session, taught by the Justice Department’s former expert on victim rights law, covers the rights that law enforcement officers need to know and how to accord those rights in a way that leaves victims feeling supported, protected, and heard.

How many of you have heard the words “well, we’ve always done it that way” as an excuse to not grow and change? As leaders, it is our responsibility to grow teams with unique points of view to gain fresh ideas and perspectives and ensure growth, change, and continued success in our organizations.  Many leaders, in our industry as well as others, tend to be a bit controlling, and since many of us have done just about every job in animal welfare, we may think we know how to do it all.  We aren’t wrong about knowing how to do it, but do we know how to do it best? This session is designed to discuss how leaders within animal welfare can approach recruitment, retention, and promotion to foster a diverse team of subject matter experts to help take their organization to the next level.

Police body-worn cameras (BWCs) have primarily been discussed from the perspective of police. As the primary users of the technology, this makes sense. But the implementation of a BWC program has ripple effects on other stakeholders, especially downstream criminal justice actors. An increasing amount of attention has been paid to prosecutors, but the defense has been virtually ignored, especially public defenders. In this webinar, we will discuss the benefits and challenges of police BWCs faced by public defenders.

Emotional Intelligence is the combination of several social and emotional components that work together to determine how well we utilize our skills of self-perception, self-expression, the way we build and maintain relationships, solve conflict, and manage stressful challenges. It also plays an important role in how we approach decision making.

Public Safety is an area that requires the delicate balance of emotional intelligence and data collection to support decision making during times of duress and high stress. A wrong tactical move or a poor choice of communication can have an adverse impact on efforts to de-escalate.

During this webinar we will:

• Learn how to identify the five elements of Emotional Intelligence
• Recognize the four EQ-I elements whose central contribution plays an important role in our ability to step back from the tension of a conflict or crisis.

The ability of police officers to use force, and potentially take human life, is likely the most significant aspect of the profession. Police have a clear obligation to ensure force is being used appropriately, and in compliance with the criminal and constitutional law. But in the post-Floyd era, police must also recognize that force will receive unprecedented community attention, and that force discussions now go beyond legal analyses and involve meaningful community engagement.

This webinar will address:

• Fundamental concepts of objectively reasonable force
• Significant elements of community engagement
• Practical tips for engaging communities around use of force issues

Unlike other implicit bias training, this module provides a different perspective. The executive state is the capacity to engage in complex problem-solving. The module bridges the gap between the research of cognitive psychologists on how the brain works and research by social psychologists on bias in policing.  It provides an opportunity to understand the normal cognitive, motivational, and socio-cultural processes that promote intergroup biases and how our brains respond instinctively or consciously and deliberately in the moment. Individuals and institutions reinforce each other’s tendencies, making discriminatory behaviors powerful and resistant to change.

A new perspective and better understanding of how humans work and its relevance to policing will allow law enforcement professionals to better protect our rights and freedoms outlined in the constitution, to maintain public order through policies and practices that are humane, disciplined and equitable.

 

Participants will learn:

• The psychological aspects of implicit bias
• The situational and environmental factors police face and their role in use of force
• Basic human rights principles on use of force
• Two factors intended to mitigate the use of force and protect human rights

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence there are on average 20 people physically abused by their intimate partner. This high rate also demonstrates how common these calls can be for telecommunicators. These calls can often be volatile and present safety risks for the caller and responding officers. This session will focus on steps call takers and dispatchers can take when handling these call types. Knowing what type of questions to ask, as well as some motivations to these situations can help telecommunicators help keep callers and responders safer.

Now that we are nearly a year into coping with the pandemic, we recognize that there are a lot of things we have been putting on hold for ‘when it’s over’. But it is time to start recognizing that ‘when it’s over’ may not happen, and it is time to change our concept of what is normal, and accept that what is happening now is normal. We will talk about what change is, what motivates change, the steps of change, and why our best efforts to change sometimes fails.  Acceptance is one form of change that may be the hardest to accomplish. Duane will be talking about the process we go through in accepting things as they are, and some of the blocks that we may put in our way.

A correctional environment can provide a wealth of intelligence to assist law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations, yet correctional intelligence is often overlooked by the law enforcement community. Correctional intelligence can proactively identify threats, prevent criminal activity, and provide the appropriate parties with actionable intelligence to assist in successful prosecution. Correctional environments offer a unique array of human intelligence. This includes, but is not limited to, face-to-face offender interaction which can provide information leading to the prevention of crimes or assist in solving unsolved crimes. Attendees will learn how information from offenders housed in a correctional facility has the potential to present a targeted approach to crime prevention on the street and identify key threats to the community. The purpose of this presentation is to share the benefits of correctional intelligence and the importance of partnerships between corrections and law enforcement agencies, while highlighting the information and resources only available in a correctional environment. Attendees will be presented with examples of how a strong partnership and the sharing of intelligence can lead to successful drug interdictions, identification of radicalized individuals, identification of individuals eluding law enforcement, location of firearms and more.

Law enforcement, in general, has taken big steps in training Officers to recognize sex trafficking victims and perpetrators on the street. However, there is a profound disconnect between recognizing a sex trafficking victim on the street and recognizing a victim after they are incarcerated. This is especially true when dealing with incarcerated adults.

The corrections profession must learn to recognize sex trafficking within its walls. This crime and many others linked to it, have the potential to compromise the safety and security of our corrections facilities, the inmates within these facilities and the community our Departments are committed to protecting.

Pima County Sheriff’s Department Corrections Sergeant Barbara Mattes discusses how and why sex traffickers are using adult correction facilities to recruit victims.  She will also examine some of the reasons why it is important to implement training and procedures to prevent this crime and discusses effective ways to combat it.

During this webinar, we will discuss:

• Potential reasons or resistance for why it may be hard to recognize and prevent sex trafficking in a corrections facility
• Protecting your Department by taking steps to prevent trafficking in your facilities
• Why traffickers use jails and prisons to recruit women and girls
• Identifying victim indicators and perpetrator tactics
• Systems to recognize and prevent sex trafficking in corrections

There comes a time in every investigator’s career that cats and dogs are part of a case, whether centrally, as seen in situations of animal cruelty, or peripherally, as often seen in domestic violence calls. In many of these situations, you may need to document the animals’ condition without the assistance of a veterinarian or experienced humane law enforcement officer. Do you know what you are looking for, and what to put on the record? This webinar will take you through the basic logistics of documenting an animal’s condition- nose to tail- including physical and behavioral characteristics, how to make it part of the record so it holds up in court, and preserving your case when the evidence is alive.

This webinar will introduce participants to the principles of Relational Policing and discuss how the power of cultivating these principles build and maintains community trust.

Extending trust to employees and contractors to access and make use of sensitive information, intelligence and materials is a necessary risk for nearly every organization and institution, whether public or private sector. While many layers of security and barriers of protection – personal screening, physical, infrastructure, access control, etc. – are put in place, still malicious actors can and do slip through. This course provides the foundation for understanding what/who insider threats are, as well as similar actors with similar agendas, the different types of assets that fall into their scope of interest, the damage they can do, and notable case studies. The last section outlines current practices and advances in deterrence and prevention.

During this webinar, we’ll discuss:

• Insider threats: Defining insider threats by type and ideology, motivations (political, pro-social and pro-ethical, religious, cultural, etc.)
• Assets: Corporate Intellectual Property and Corporate Espionage, Information versus Intelligence and Classifications in the FVEY Community
• Why are Insider Threats, Threats?: Concerns of Government, National institutions, and Corporate / Contractors / Vendors

We all want to be fair in our roles. Fairness may even be a direct mandate within our agency’s mission statement. But how do we know if we’re successful in that regard? Fairness has both objective and subjective parts so it is not enough to *be* fair; we must be *seen* as fair. And the only way to assess for that is to ask the individuals. This session will explore the definition and research basis for fairness, as well as practical tools (and safeguards) to invite feedback from system users. We’ll also consider how real-time feedback tools can equip savvy leaders with a means to road-test new practices before making longer-term and more costly investments.

Can you walk in someone else’s shoes? How you relate to others can impact a situation’s outcome. This combination of social and emotional components work together and influence not only how well we utilize our skills of self-perception, self-expression, but also the way we build and maintain relationships, solve conflict, and manage stressful challenges.

During this webinar we will:

• Discuss the strongest of all de-escalation tools
• Examine Interpersonal Skills as a tool to resolve conflict

Motivational Conversation is the process of using questions to move people in a well-intended direction.  The questions are used to create conversations which lead to relationship building, or rapport.  As law enforcement officers, we engage community members on a daily basis where we are interacting, persuading, and engaging on a variety of levels.  Motivational Conversation helps the law enforcement professional make these daily contacts much more productive and effective.

As police investigators, there are similar aspects to conducting an interrogative interview and the core tenets of Motivational Conversation.  Both are based on rapport building, engaging with the person being interviewed, and guiding people along a well-intended path (truth seeking).  The ability to successfully use Motivational Conversation on a daily basis will be the foundation for conducting successful interrogative interviews.  Learn how to use Motivational Conversation to build upon your interrogative interviewing skills.

Policing is changing, and that means the way we talk about policing must change as well. The trust and transparency that public information officers and departments have built over the last several years is being tested, and new schools of thought are emerging. What must you have to communicate effectively in the era following the death of George Floyd? Why should you care so much about the details when it comes to talking about policy, practices, and how that fits into your community? We’ll revisit the necessity of social media and putting the right people in place to handle that, the practices that should be enhanced going forward, and the topics and ideals that should be highlighted so that your agency stands strong with your community as we moved forward in this next phase of information-sharing and engagement.

There are many times that organizations have someone high profile, at-risk, or a visiting dignitary that causes a security concern for the entity. Have you wondered whether you should raise the security level or find yourself saying “it will probably be ok.” What would it do the morale of your organization, the reputation, if only one event occurred that maybe could have been prevented or mitigated but you did nothing? In this webinar, we will discuss the evaluation of risk, planning and applying various levels of security to raise the actual level of preparedness to be safer rather than only feel safer.

Our experience with the pandemic taught us that the short-term ‘self-care’ coping skills were effective for the first few months, but were not particularly effective in sustaining all of our coping needs for the longer term.

This webinar will present the coping mechanisms to sustain a positive mind-frame, and help us to create the life style necessary to live and deal with the ‘new normal’ in which we are living.

The need for Community Building has become increasingly complex.  Motivational Conversation is a method where building relationships through the use of well-placed questions will lead to better relationships with the public.

The necessity for good relationships between the criminal justice system and the public is vitally important.  We can build good relationships with communities by understanding how those relationships are influenced by several different perspectives.  There are three perspectives which we need to understand as criminal justice professionals to understand, engage, and construct positive relationships with the public.  The perspectives are:

• Societal Worldview:  A successful society must have productive interaction between various parts of government, societal groups, religions, and the economy.  Each part of society functions together to contribute to the success of the whole.
• Conflict Mindset:  This occurs with groups or individuals.  There is an emphasis placed on the source of differences among individuals or groups.  Conflict can be based on politics, availability of resources/opportunity, group affiliation, etc.  Some people can find comfort in perpetuating these differences.
• Personal Lens:  We have a set of personal experiences and value judgments which shape our personal one-on-one interactions.  We find comfort in these value judgments.

By understanding the influences of these three perspectives and utilizing Motivational Conversation strategies, genuine community building can take place.  It takes commitment, time,  and effort, but the dividends gained can be truly significant.
