Virtually every citizen interaction with police now involves some form of image, video or digital file. Such evidence comes from an ever-increasing array of devices including cell phones, tablets, computers, security cameras, and even wearable devices. Is law enforcement ready to collect these digital assets and secure them on their chain of evidence journey through to the courts?

This webinar will help justice practitioners understand:

• • The 5 stages of the digital evidence lifecycle
  • Importance of the connectivity between stages
  • Where the lifecycle is broken
  • How to fix it

Changing American policing begins with who agencies hire and how they are trained. While there has been considerable attention paid in recent years to improving police recruiting, the way new officers are trained has changed very little. As the policing profession enters a time of enormous change and challenges, as well as greater expectations and scrutiny from the public, it is critical police academy training change too. The Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) has been examining the current state of police academy training in the United States, including through a national survey of police leaders. In addition, PERF has been studying pockets of innovations in police training, both nationally and internationally, and developing a set of guiding principles for moving police academy training forward. This webinar will summarize PERF’s work in this area and present its major findings and recommendations.

Attendees of this webinar will learn about the following:

• The results of a national survey of police leaders on the current state of police academy training.
• Innovative approaches that some academies are taking with respect to overall training philosophy, curriculum, and instructors.
• Best practices in integrating academy and field training for new officers.
• Guiding principles on what the police academy of the future should look like and how it should operate.

Media and social media are more interwoven with our lives than ever before, with limited control over the amount and type of content we consume. Regardless of how many accounts you have or how often you check your phone, social media and the media impact how we understand the world, build connection, and access each other, making the boundaries between our physical and digital selves more complex.

Understanding what this means for trauma survivors is critical to the healing process and avoiding re-traumatization. By identifying the intersection between trauma and media, we can empower survivors with information on consuming media content and utilize best practices that can protect us from secondary and vicarious trauma.

During this Webinar, we will:

• Discuss the prevalence of media consumption in our lives and the “filter bubble” that controls what we view
• Explain how we may experience direct trauma, indirect trauma and re-traumatization through media
• Identify the pros and cons to social media and other technologies in the healing process
• Review best practices for survivors and victim service providers in using social media and consuming media content, including the ethical imperative to set boundaries in our digital lives.

The prevalence of gun violence brings harm to our communities. Law Enforcement agencies are tasked with confronting a variety of serious incidents to provide public safety, as well as addressing the problems that lead to and promote violence, such as firearm trafficking and illegal firearm possession. Beyond injuries and fatalities, gun violence affects our society’s overall well-being and affects the quality of life for all. Much of it takes place in at-risk or underserved communities, and gun violence incidents are often unreported or go unnoticed. With the rise of gun violence in the US it is becoming a larger and more costly issue than many realize. In this webinar, a panel of academics and policing experts will discuss innovative tools and strategies for reducing gun violence in the US stemming from the Police Foundation’s gun and violence-related research and projects.

Did you know? A national survey on the incidence and prevalence of children’s exposure to violence and trauma revealed that 60% of American children have been exposed to violence, crime, or abuse, and 40% were direct victims of two or more violent acts.

The Handle with Care (HWC) program enables law enforcement to notify schools if they encounter a child at a traumatic scene, so schools and mental health care leaders can provide trauma-sensitive support right away.

While the implementation of this initiative is critical, the current process for law enforcement to notify schools requires paperwork to be filled out and then submitted. What if you could digitize that process and submit HWC notifications with the touch of a button? Imagine the time that would be saved and the number of children’s lives that would be positively impacted through a more convenient and efficient process.

Main Takeaways from this Session:

• How your law enforcement agency can implement a more efficient Handle with Care Program
• Insight and case study results from Law Enforcement leaders who have implemented a digital, “next-generation” HWC process
• Why digital tools are needed to support law enforcement’s efforts within communities to protect children and to help those traumatized to heal and thrive

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) promise many benefits, but questions remain about how law enforcement officers will interact with them. Officers likely will encounter new challenges related to technology, procedures, and constitutional authorities.  However, there are considerable misconceptions regarding the current state of AV technology and pace of adoption.  While many believe we are at the cusp of widespread AV use, the reality which law enforcement will be facing is different.  In the near-term future, law enforcement will deal with many of the same traffic-related challenges with AVs and with non-AVs, though with some added difficulty in the limited number of AV cases.  This webinar will provide a basic walkthrough of what AVs are, the broad state of the field, and some of the high-priority needs of law enforcement in the short- and long-term.  Though short-term issues are important, numerous experts in AV agreed law enforcement should begin proactive preparations to address longer-term challenges before being forced into reactive changes. Key areas of interest for law enforcement are: designing a means of communicating with AVs that also maintains cybersecurity; improving stakeholder communication and collaboration; and developing standard procedures, guidelines, and training needs for law enforcement interacting with AVs.

America’s love affair with the automobile is a connection among many generations of Americans. This is due in large part to the innovation of the automobile and how the automobile transformed the American landscape. Also, and without question, the automobile is tied to a fundamental bond of what it means to be an American…..Freedom.

Unfortunately, this unique rite of passage comes with degrees of risk.  According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel, traffic fatalities account for 38,000 deaths every year in crashes on U.S. roadways. Also, an additional 4.4 million individuals are injured seriously enough to require medical attention. Sadly, these crashes are the leading cause of death in the U.S. for people aged 1-54 and create an economic and societal impact of road crashes costs U.S. citizens $871 billion annually.

Add the factor of the impaired driver and the impact is inconceivable when you think about the needless loss of life happening upon the roadways of America.  According to the Center of Disease Control, in 2016, 10,497 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.¹  Of the 1,233 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2016, 214 (17%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver.¹  In 2016, more than 1 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.² That’s one percent of the 111 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among U.S. adults each year (figure below).  Drugs other than alcohol (legal and illegal) are involved in about 16% of motor vehicle crashes.³  

With these numbers, law enforcement officers across this great Country who are tasked to investigate motor vehicle crashes encounter potential complex crime scenes each time they arrive at a crash scene.  Law enforcement officers soon discover these types of investigations may require officers to wear many hats in pursuit of the truth.  Also, an officers’ willingness to collaborate with allied agencies may be in order to bring justice to victims and their families and to hold the negligent accountable.

This vehicular homicide investigation webinar series was designed to help strengthen skills used and needed during the three critical stages of a vehicular homicide investigation, i.e., on-scene management, forensics, and prosecution.

For this webinar series, the first of three installments entitled On-Scene Management, Master Corporal Schultz will discuss lessons learned and procedures as it relates to the documentation of vehicular homicide crime scenes.  Master Corporal Schultz begins this series with dialogue focused upon the use of both traditional methods and the use of newer innovative technologies such as total station technology, laser mapping scanners, and unmanned aerial drones. Also, Master Corporal Schultz will discuss important key investigative areas such as, electronic data recorder (EDR) collection, driver impairment issues, legal and established case law, interviewing witnesses, interacting with allied agencies, and the importance of the victim to investigator relationship starting off on the right foot.

Sometimes it seems the world has gone straight past crazy and directly to chaos.  A place where nothing makes sense and we can feel a great loss of control.  Many times, fast-paced chaotic events cause us to react rather than respond to events.  In this webinar, we will look at chaos through the lens of emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ultimate in situational awareness.  EI is identifying your emotions and being able to lessen the effects of the more troubling emotions. The greater the impact of negative emotions, the larger the stress response can be.  This reaction can limit executive brain function and adversely impact the body’s physiological system.

Attendees will be introduced to EI, how to increase situation awareness, and respond rather than react in chaotic situations.   Additionally, we will look at Cynefin, a sensemaking model to help manage yourself in changing environments.

Domestic Violence victims who were under COVID quarantine with their abusers found it even more difficult to reach out for help. As more and more people were trapped inside with their abusers, being able to ask for help became crucial to their safety.

Shelters around the country have been and remain very full, especially given the need to reduce capacity to maintain social distancing. Add to that the fact that gun sales are setting records, advocates for Intimate Partner abuse victims are concerned things will only get worse.

Reports of domestic abuse spiked by about 30% since France into lockdown in mid-March and local experts in Maricopa County have confirmed similar increases with the Mesa and Tempe Arizona Police Departments.

During this webinar, experts from the medical and legal community in Maricopa County (Arizona) will share their observations about the COVID pandemic’s impact on Domestic Violence, as well as what criminal justice professionals can learn about Domestic Violence in light of the pandemic’s impact on society.

America’s love affair with the automobile is a connection among many generations of Americans. This is due in large part to the innovation of the automobile and how the automobile transformed the American landscape. Also, and without question, the automobile is tied to a fundamental bond of what it means to be an American…..Freedom.

Unfortunately, this unique rite of passage comes with degrees of risk.  According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel, traffic fatalities account for 38,000 deaths every year in crashes on U.S. roadways. Also, an additional 4.4 million individuals are injured seriously enough to require medical attention. Sadly, these crashes are the leading cause of death in the U.S. for people aged 1-54 and create an economic and societal impact of road crashes costs U.S. citizens $871 billion annually.

Add the factor of the impaired driver and the impact is inconceivable when you think about the needless loss of life happening upon the roadways of America.  According to the Center of Disease Control, in 2016, 10,497 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.¹  Of the 1,233 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2016, 214 (17%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver.¹  In 2016, more than 1 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.² That’s one percent of the 111 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among U.S. adults each year (figure below).  Drugs other than alcohol (legal and illegal) are involved in about 16% of motor vehicle crashes.³  

With these numbers, law enforcement officers across this great Country who are tasked to investigate motor vehicle crashes encounter potential complex crime scenes each time they arrive at a crash scene.  Law enforcement officers soon discover these types of investigations may require officers to wear many hats in pursuit of the truth.  Also, an officers’ willingness to collaborate with allied agencies may be in order to bring justice to victims and their families and to hold the negligent accountable.

This vehicular homicide investigation webinar series was designed to help strengthen skills used and needed during the three critical stages of a vehicular homicide investigation, i.e., on-scene management, forensics, and prosecution.

In the second installment, entitled Forensics is Our Friend.  Master Corporal Schultz enlists the assistance of Crime Laboratory Analyst Supervisor Ron Mueller of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Both Master Corporal Schultz and Analyst Mueller discuss the positive and negative lessons learned regarding the importance of on-scene evidence collection and how time and missed opportunities will negatively impact these types of investigations, especially when it pertains to hit and run investigations.  Also, Analyst Mueller will discuss both myths and limitations of what can be learned from on-scene evidence once it has been analyzed.

Researchers defined crisis as a common, though often unexpected, time-sensitive, high-impact event that may disrupt organizational functioning and pose relational threats. In a Deloitte online poll of more than 2,000 C-suite executives, managers, analysts, and crisis professionals from US and international companies were divided on who in their organizations would lead a crisis response. A large percentage also did not know what their biggest gap in crisis preparedness would be, and half of the respondents were not sure whether the crisis response team had been tested, including leaders.

 

This presentation will cover the FIVE THINGS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE LEADERS can do during turbulent times:

• Be Mindset-Aware. When you’re competent, it makes you capable and confident.
• Be Situationally-Aware. It’s not if, but when. Be prepared for the moment.
• Be Critic-Aware. Critics come from internal, external and from you.
• Be Compassion-Aware. People are a priority, your priority.
• Be Self-Care Aware. If you are not able to lead, then who will?

For many clients, the difference between rehabilitation and recidivism is the ability to create sustainable habits. All too often it is assumed that motivation is the most important factor in developing long-term behavior change…it’s not. For years community supervision has applied a variety of tactics to motivate change — incentives, sanctions, and programs and services — with varying levels of success. One often overlooked, more universal approach, is building sustainable habits – both for clients and the agencies that serve them.

If the events of 2020 have taught us anything, it is that disruption leads to change. Unfortunately for many, the post-pandemic norm has resulted in disruptive habits for clients, staff, and agencies. We all know you can’t order people to change, but what you can do is help develop habits that are building blocks for change. Clients need solid habits that will support them through rehabilitation, and beyond.

This webinar will provide insight into the components needed to build successful habits and provide a roadmap you can use to develop habit-driven skills and processes for agencies and clients.

This webinar will help prosecutors and law enforcement personnel understand how best to use NIBIN evidence in a courtroom. It will cover what NIBIN is and what it isn’t. It will explain how the NIBIN process works, how it informs investigations, and how evidence derived from NIBIN can dramatically strengthen prosecutions against “the worst of the worst” in your communities.  Improving prosecutors’ and law enforcement personnel’s understanding of NIBIN will make it easier for all users to take advantage of NIBIN’s benefits and weave NIBIN deeper into the fabric of criminal prosecution to maximize its public-safety impact. Equally important, improving NIBIN’s use in court protects against court decisions that could exclude, devalue, or undermine NIBIN – which would be a serious setback to the use of forensic technology to obtain and uphold convictions that improve public safety.

Participants will also receive a toolkit they can use and distribute to others involved in prosecutions with NIBIN evidence. Among other things, this toolkit explains how to use NIBIN evidence to your benefit  at various stages of investigation and prosecution, includes reference materials, and provides model witness outlines, warrant/complaint affidavit language, demonstrative images and diagrams, and language for common courtroom presentations and pleadings.

How many times have you heard about someone who retired, and then figured out that they had no idea what to do with themselves? In a First Responder career, and many others, the “job” becomes the “identity” all too often, and so when someone leaves the job for any reason, the individual also then finds they don’t know who they are without it. This webinar will talk about finding balance between your career and your individual self, so that you can have a healthier overall well-being throughout your entire career, but also after you retire or move on to the next phase of your life. Balance is finding the right amount of each of the positive & negative elements in your life, and making sure to plan for the long-term with both. This webinar will include some self-assessment exercises, and leave you with a list of recommendations that you can put together to create your own long-term balance plan.

Jails are encountering the cascading effect of the competency crisis. Defendants with severe mental illnesses or mental defects who are deemed incompetent to stand trial are experiencing long wait times, in some cases more than 12 months, for admission to state psychiatric facilities for restoration treatment. Despite advocacy groups’ litigation efforts to force government agencies to address this crisis, state agencies often lack the resources (e.g., funding, personnel) to meet dictates of consent decrees. However, through collaborations with county and state agencies, alternative solutions for competency restoration treatment can reduce the strain on state systems. While establishing a jail-based competency restoration program requires dedicated staff to ensure the separation of forensic and clinical treatment activities, services can be delivered through a variety of modalities that match the facility’s resources. This webinar highlights the essential components of a jail-based competency program and reviews the advantages and limitations of jail-based restoration treatment.

Over the past two decades, there has been a rapidly increasing number of convictions overturned on the grounds of factual innocence. Many of these post-conviction exonerations have been led by police and prosecutors, yet little attention has been paid to the impact on the victims and survivors of the original crime. Addressing and meeting their needs is critical to promoting trust and fairness in our criminal justice system. This presentation will present actual experiences of victims and survivors and provide expert recommendations and tools for providing victim services and protecting victims’ rights in these cases.

How many folks truly understand why prescription pills, heroin, fentanyl use, and overdose deaths are on the rise? Multiple factors have created our current-day epidemic. Some are from illicit prescription pill manufacturer marketing schemes, and some are cartel trends made via our request. Do you genuinely understand how we stack up as a nation on prescription pill usage?

• How did this shift us to heroin?
• How did heroin move into fentanyl?
• What does this stuff look like?
• What are the hazards to someone who is not a user?

To be effective in the battle against the opioid epidemic, you must know how we got here. History is important. It will help us better understand these trends so we can be more effective in developing solutions.

Traditional dispatch programs focus on collecting information and sending out an officer. Today’s modern dispatch program focuses on lifesaving and proactive problem-solving and acts as the agency’s gatekeeper for officer call volume and shelter intake. This approach accesses the potential for increased lifesaving and community engagement that the traditional mindset leaves behind. The training will cover customer service, radio use, and priorities, information collection and problem-solving over the phone, as well as tips and tricks on handling some of the commonly received complaint calls. This training will challenge the traditional model of animal control dispatch and encourage a more proactive, engaged, and community-focused approach to the call-takers of the field service industry.

The National Police Foundation (NPF) examined the kinds of approaches that small law enforcement agencies are adopting to respond in appropriate ways to persons with behavioral health issues. The study is designed to answer three questions:

• What types of crisis response models are being employed by smaller law enforcement agencies and which are most common?
• How many smaller agencies are participating in regional crisis response models? What do these regional responses consist of? What are the benefits and drawbacks to a regional model?
• What kinds of data systems do smaller agencies have for tracking locations, individuals, and outcomes of behavioral health incidents? What shortcomings would need to be addressed in order to conduct a rigorous evaluation in these small communities?

In this webinar, researchers, academics, and practitioners will discuss the findings of the study and the realities in the field.

This presentation is Lecture 3 in a 3-part series focused on the issues related to extreme violence perpetrated by children and adolescents. The third lecture in this series focuses on neurodevelopmentally informed approaches to the forensic interview of youth who are accused of committing physically or sexually violent acts.

The foundation of case development, and formulation of expert opinion, is the suspect interview. The interview process itself is a high stake, stressful situation for all involved. Individual motives compete as the interview proceeds; the interviewee seeks exoneration, the police interviewer seeks information to support or refute his or her theory of the crime, and the forensic psychiatrist seeks to synthesize the available information to provide the trier of fact an unbiased expert opinion. Overt or subtle coercion can have a devastating impact on the interviewee’s freedom to provide a factual account of their behaviors. The impact of coercion is amplified for youth due to ongoing neurodevelopment which creates additional susceptibility. Techniques that can adapt to the neurocognitive context of the interview target, utilize a flexible approach, and encourage truth-telling to reduce the interview related drivers of false confession by minimizing coercion inherent in the interview process itself.  With this introduction to the elements that contribute to coercion and approaches that either amplify or mitigate their effects, a neurodevelopmentally informed approach to interviewing of youth will be discussed through an exploration of topics including:

• The neurocognitive, and neurodevelopmental, processes that impact an individual’s susceptibility to coercion including genetic and environmental factors
• Specific indicators of that a youth may be experiencing coercion and techniques to decrease the likelihood that youth will experience coercion during the interview process
• False allegation
• False confession

These concepts will be reinforced by case examples of interviewing techniques that resulted in signs of coercion and discussion of known historical cases of false confession/false allegation. References and resource materials will be provided in addition to lecture content.

After attending this presentation:

• Attendees will be able to identify characteristics of coercion during police interviews and compare the coerciveness of different police interviewing techniques.
• Attendees will be able to identify neurodevelopmental and cognitive processes that impact the likelihood of obtaining a false confession or false allegation.
• Attendees will be able to evaluate interview outcomes for the presence of coercion.

This vehicular homicide investigation webinar series was designed to help strengthen skills used and needed during the three critical stages of a vehicular homicide investigation, i.e., on-scene management, forensics, and prosecution.

In the third and final installment of this webinar series entitled, The Prosecution Rests.  Master Corporal Schultz enlists the assistance of Assistant State Attorney Martin Stark a current member of the Office of the State Attorney, Twentieth Judicial Circuit for the State of Florida. Both Master Corporal Schultz and ASA Stark discuss how and what is needed for the successful prosecution of vehicular homicide cases.  Also, ASA Stark shares insights on both positive and negative lessons learned from past cases, along with how the Office of the State Attorney internal organizational structure was developed and put into practice in order to meet the needs of the community to prosecute these in-depth complex criminal cases.

This webinar will focus on the need to better utilize places of worship in the fight to end family violence. Participants will learn of unique research conducted by the presenter to explore the spatial proximity of places of worship to locations of family violence incidents in the community and locations of known registered violent/sexual offenders. Taking a firm and unequivocal stand against abuse, developing inclusive support groups for victims, training staff in spotting warning signs of abuse (and what to do next), and creating an environment victims will feel safe and comfortable disclosing victimization in will all be discussed as key initiatives every place of worship must consider adopting.

 

Victims of family violence often report wanting to disclose abuse in the home to church leaders while church leaders often report not feeling qualified to assist – likely resulting in critical missed opportunities. During this info-packed session we will also explore how to best bridge this gap through the development of inclusive community partnerships and explore how churches can best help families vulnerable to abuse during widespread crisis.

This webinar will talk about the history of the Community Cat Program at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) in Arlington, Virginia including where we were, where we are now, and how we got there. We will discuss how to garner successful support and buy-in for a jurisdiction-wide program, how to resolve the most common community cat conflicts, and what supportive needs arise during a TNR program. Since The Community Cat Program’s inception in 2011, Arlington notes a 70% decrease in feral colony size and an 82% decrease in cat euthanasia, as fewer strays mean fewer cats are brought to the shelter. Our program has achieved what everyone ultimately wants to see- a humane solution to the issue of outdoor cats.

Have you ever seen a child that is an absolute brat and thought, “their parents need to teach them better”? Well, those children likely learned that poor behavior from their parents. The same is true in organizations. Research shows us, if we want our officers to practice procedural justice in their interactions with citizens on the street, they must see it being practiced by their leaders inside the organization.

In this webinar, you’ll gain an understanding of the importance of the perception of the people within the organization in shaping their behaviors and how, as a leader, you can foster procedural justice throughout the agency to ensure it is practiced outside as well.

Court officials who understand the Link between crimes against animals and crimes against people are in a better position to prevent future violence and protect their community. This webinar will assist law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, animal care & control officers, and other criminal justice system personnel in a greater understanding that family violence doesn’t stop at the human species line. We can prevent family violence collaboratively and more effectively by recognizing animal abuse as a potential indicator and predictor crime. Holding animal abusers accountable prevents other crimes and changes community attitudes toward violence and safety. We will show how measures to prevent, prosecute and punish animal cruelty benefit not only Man’s Best Friend… but also Man (and especially Woman)!

Probation plays an integral part at multiple stages of the justice process including investigation and supervision. In addition, these same professionals by the very nature of their job are often a point person for not just the offender, but the victim and community stakeholders and service providers alike. However, their input is often overlooked and not taken into account as the offender moves through the system as well as once they are sentenced.

Facilitators will discuss the importance of collaboration between probation and the justice system; in particular between prosecution and Judges when handling high-risk domestic violence cases. Topics to be discussed are the importance of the use of risk assessments tools, judicial bench cards for sentencing of high-risk offenders, and judicial reviews for sentenced offenders to maintain accountability and victim safety.

 

Participants will learn about:

• Advantages of using risk assessments for high-risk offenders
• Tools and tips to promote collaboration
• How increased collaboration can improve offender accountability, victim safety and victim perception of system response

Join us for part two of our Reuniting and Renesting Orphaned Wildlife webinar, as we take a deeper dive into reuniting and renesting birds.   Like squirrels, raccoons, and other mammals, healthy young birds can become accidently separated from their parents for any number of reasons, causing animal care and control, law enforcement, and wildlife rehabilitation centers to be inundated with calls about potentially orphaned birds in the spring and summer. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to better evaluate and respond to these calls and just as importantly, learn what not to do. We’ll discuss how long young birds are dependent on parents, different nest types and substitutes, and species behavior related to breeding and development.  Examples of reuniting methods for passerines will be presented to demonstrate the basic techniques of reuniting, along with brief discussions of strategies for reuniting raptors and waterfowl.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.  We make hundreds if not thousands of them every day.  And most of our decisions are made subconsciously, quickly and emotionally.  As a matter of fact, emotion is a big player in your daily decision making.

Have you ever made a decision while angry which you later regretted?  Being able to reign in disruptive emotions leads to better decisions.   So how do we identify and control these disruptive emotions?  With the use of Emotional Intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a key component of decision-making.  Research shows that those with a high level of Emotional Intelligence make better decisions, are move motivated, display a higher level of empathetic understanding and are less susceptible to an amygdala hijacking.  Stress, whether incident or self-induced impacts not only the decision-making process but the overall outcome.

Attendees will be introduced to the 5 pillars of EI and tactics to increase EI.  We will also look at several mental and thinking models to assist the criminal justice professional with their decision-making.  Having a latticework of mental or thinking models is a necessity to help us navigate the complex world we live in.

In serial crimes such as sexual homicide and rape, the examination of whether offenders are consistent in their behavior over their series, or whether they change, escalate or whether they engage in predictable trajectories over time may provide a substantial addition to our understanding of psychological assessment of behavior, and ultimately may impact the reliability of predictions of re-offending.

This talk aims to give an overview of the latest advancements in the field of crime scene analysis, specifically with reference to understanding consistency patterns across an offender’s series in cases of sexual crimes such as rape and sexual homicide. The specific focus will be on highlighting the most important aspects of the crime scene that can help identify a series, including the nature of the sexual activity, the type of crime (rape and sexual homicide), and also how the sexual component may be expressed through the type of victim targeted, such as in cases of sex workers.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain knowledge of the scientific field of behavioral crime scene analysis
• Understand the key psychological considerations needed for evidence-based linkage analysis
• Gain an understanding of the psychological concept of behavioral consistency, and how it is necessary for linking serial crimes in practice
• Gain an overview of the key salient factors that have been shown to enable identifying different behavioral patterns in sexual offending

The COVID-19 crisis has drawn into sharp focus the many difficulties that renters face, including those who have pets. Unprecedented housing hardships are being felt throughout the country and not unlike past economic recessions, news of sweeping evictions is becoming disturbingly familiar. There are tens of millions of families facing housing insecurity and who are at risk of homelessness due to lack of affordable and available housing for low-income renters as well as being severely housing cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 50% of their income on housing costs.

Today, an estimated 30–40 million renters are at risk of being evicted when moratoriums lift and with 72% of renters owning pets, the number of animals displaced with their people could be catastrophic. For most, pets are considered family members yet in many ways our society does not consider that important relationship in times of crisis. The human-animal bond offers countless mental and physical benefits, and at a time when people are at risk of losing so much, it’s critical for those tasked with enforcing an eviction to do everything within their power to help preserve and protect that relationship.

In this session, you will learn about what considerations to make for pets when preparing eviction notices and enforcing eviction orders, about the importance of companion animals for many families and stability they can provide for at-risk people in times of uncertainty, and how to utilize your community’s resources to help keep pets and their families together.

Join us as we learn about the roles and responsibilities of the Nlets Service Center. The Nlets Service Center is responsible for ensuring that the critical operations of Nlets are up and running in a timely fashion. We will also cover the most and least used message keys that are ran over the Nlets Network. Many of these message keys focus on data sharing between federal and international agencies. These initiatives were fought for after the 9/11 tragedy in order to share data at all levels of Government and sadly, they are still not used on a regular basis. Let’s learn how these message keys might benefit you and your staff so that we can work together to get the right data in the right hands at the right time.

Diversity of all types makes our organizations better. Yet in a lot of the helping professions, women are underrepresented. We will identify some of the underlying causes that will help explore where your organization can make changes. Then we will look at specific ideas including benefits, scheduling and others that will attract more women and make them want to stay once they are hired! As organizations that crave diversity, we need to start thinking of new and unique ways that push against the “we’ve always done it this way” mentality.

As a broad category of penological response that aims to repair the harms crime inflicts on victims, hold offenders accountable, and promote resilient communities, restorative justice has venerable roots. Nonetheless, the explicit application of restorative justice approaches within the USA’s criminal justice system is quite young – and all but unheard of as applied to crimes with animal victims: abuse, neglect, animal fighting, and animal sexual exploitation. Join Animal Legal Defense Fund criminal justice attorneys for an exploration – rooted in emergent scholarship – of the role restorative justice could play in our legal system’s response to animal cruelty.

 

This session will begin by summarizing the history and current use of restorative justice in the context of the USA’s criminal justice system. Next, we will examine the ways that a restorative justice framework focuses on animals as the inherent victims of animal cruelty—and therefore as the party who is most in need of an outcome that acknowledges their suffering and – to the extent possible – restores their well-being. Finally, we will outline what a restorative justice framework might look like as applied to animal cruelty cases – and how it could be drawn on as an option impactful for victims, offenders, and communities, building empathy, reducing recidivism, and increasing rehabilitation.

Direct supervision is the continuous interaction with inmates by Corrections Staff. Corrections staff actively converse, direct, protect and assist the inmates under their supervision. There are no barriers between the Officers and inmates. Housing unit Corrections Officers employed by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department are generally outnumbered 40 (or more) to one.

Corrections Officers, in general, are often misunderstood by those who have never worked their profession. Far too often the only way a Corrections Officer is known is by movies and T.V., which routinely portrays them poorly and regularly fails to recognize the dedication and commitment inherent of the profession. However, Corrections Officers do not walk in these doors to be given accolades and pats on the back. These Officers, these Direct Supervision Officers, do this job because of their dedication to duty and commitment to the community.

They willingly lock themselves in with the people, often viewed by society, as too dangerous to be on the street. They maintain control of those they supervise with nothing but their ability to think and speak. This is a skill set the average person simply does not have. This application of this skill is so nuanced and complex that it seems almost impossible, but they do it every day.

This webinar will highlight the practice of direct supervision with an Emphasis on the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, Pima County Adult Detention Center (PCADC).

The overall topic will be the importance of the Officer’s role for “community policing” from inside the walls. Because the PCADC is a jail, not a prison, this is one of the most important things we do. Balancing that with staff and inmate safety and facility security is multi-layered and complicated, but it is done every day, every shift, 24/7.

We will discuss what and how a direct supervision Corrections Officer of the PCADC works, interacts, enforces rules, supervises and cares for those under their supervision. The results of which are often taken for granted because a skilled Corrections Officer makes it look and feel easy to an outside observer.

The knowledge and skills that are necessary for Corrections Officers of the PCADC to deal with highly stressful and dynamic situations are at an exceptionally high level. These include knowledge of, Federal, State and County Law in addition to the Policy Procedures and the Standard Operating Procedures of the Sheriff’s Department.  Even knowing all of these will not be enough. These must also be supported by a heavy dose of common sense and compassion for the people we are working with and the community we are working for.

 

The World Health Organization ranks chronic diseases as the greatest threat to human health.

In 2014, the Rand Corporation reported 60% of Americans had at least one chronic condition and 42% had more than one.  These conditions (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and joint disease) begin with chronic inflammation exacerbated by lifestyle, stress, and poor nutrition.  Law Enforcement and other criminal justice professionals are more susceptible to burnout and compassion fatigue due to the nature of the work.  This class will address these issues and how taking personal responsibility for a healthy foundation is essential for career longevity and long-term health.

As Law Enforcement, it is hard for us to understand and grasp the legalization of previous illegal controlled substances. We can make it past the stigma of “this is the way it has always been.” Medical advancements have finally come to light to help folks with chronic severe pains and diseases.
And do we, as Law Enforcement, have the workforce and resources to keep up the fight against marijuana legalization and enforcement.

In most cases, the answer is NO!
This webinar will cover some recent FDA approvals that most Law Enforcement officers and agencies aren’t aware of, as well as start discussions on legalization being primarily out of Law Enforcement’s hands.

Shouldn’t the veterinarian be at least as proactive in responding to suspected animal abuse as physicians are in recognizing and reporting suspected child abuse? That’s a question being discussed in veterinary circles as more practitioners receive training in veterinary forensics and learn how to resolve their formidable practice management dilemmas. State laws, national organizational policies, and Veterinary Social Workers are prompting a new look at the veterinarian’s role with abused animals. Growing public interest in animal welfare and the FBI’s inclusion of four types of animal cruelty in the NIBRS data system is resulting in veterinarians being asked to articulate exactly what an abused animal’s condition is. This webinar will describe how veterinarians are an invaluable resource for law enforcement and animal care & control officers in not only reporting, describing, and testifying about animal abuse, but also in the newest frontier – “DV and the DVM,” responses when clients express histories of domestic violence which also affects their animals’ well-being.
