Everyone has experienced the stress response; whether we get upset during an argument, are involved in a high-speed car chase, or we perceive something to be a threat, our stress response is our body’s way of preparing us.  Our body wants to return to homeostasis, or balance, but problems occur when we spend too much time in this state of hyperarousal, and our nervous system, immune system, and endocrine system become depleted.  This webinar will explore helpful tools to implement throughout the day to regulate and reset our nervous system to help achieve a state of ease.

Have you ever wished that the person who supervises you consistently demonstrated the characteristics of a genuine leader? That he or she influenced people to follow as a result of honorable words and actions, and modeled behaviors that you would like to emulate? That the way you experienced interactions left you feeling heard, respected, and supported? Perhaps you are fortunate and your boss does all of these things, but perhaps not. Either way, regardless of your rank, role, or assignment, you can do everything mentioned, and more, to create profoundly positive effects upon yourself and those around you. In this webinar, Dr. Sherman will be discussing “The Success Triad” (attitude, alignment, and actions), and how it can elevate your morale, optimize your outlook, and directly point your career in an upward direction. It will become clear in this training that you can exercise more control over your situation than you may be currently doing, and how making such a shift can open doors to being a true leader.

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. 

In early 2021, a mob of thousands launched a violent assault on the United States Capitol in an attempt to halt the counting of the electoral ballots. The mob’s sustained assault at the Capitol precipitated an equally unprecedented response, with an urgent request for the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to come defend the Capitol. Without hesitation, MPD officers responded to the grounds to restore order and defend our country’s democratic process.

The reality of emergencies is that they frequently come unannounced and can happen in any community. The PIO office at MPD responded quickly and strategically to ensure that the tremendous obligation of keeping our community informed during the crisis was fulfilled. Following the event, the story of MPD’s heroes was broadcasted around the world, in part due to the strategic and planned actions of the PIO office. In this webinar, you will learn:

• Key approaches to quickly and effectively communicate with a local and national audience during a historical, major city event,
• Internal communications strategies to connect with every member of your department (everyone is a spokesperson),
• Utilize opportunities to change and shift the narrative of public opinion and the media.

In today’s workforce climate, the conversation in most executive meeting rooms includes how to manage talent within the organization and a list of other priorities. However, managing talent should be the priority. Why? It is simple. Talent management is key to increasing interest for those wanting to join your agency, learning and developing within the organization, and, most of all, retaining them. Initially, employees come into an organization enthusiastically and seek opportunities to connect further and be a part of the organization long-term, and somewhere along their pathway, it changes.

So, how well is your organization managing talent to attract, promote, and keep the best people?

This webinar will discuss the five best ways to manage talent through existing strategies and mechanisms and those that may not be utilized for better success within your organization.

Concussions are a major public health concern in terms of their incidence. The causes of concussion traditionally have included athletics, motor vehicle accidents, elder care falls and combat. However, the consequences of physical assault, specifically Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) directed to the head, may surpass the existing concussion incidence estimates. Violent physical acts, such as strangulation, blows to the head, or being forcibly shaken, place an individual at high risk for brain injury. A survey of three metropolitan emergency departments found that 67% of the women seeking medical services related to IPV had symptoms associated with concussions. To this extent, one in four women will experience domestic or intimate partner violence in their lifetime, and upwards of 67-90% will have symptoms of concussion. This indicates that of the approximately 30 million women experiencing IPV, 20 million could demonstrate signs of a concussion. Alone, this is 11-12 times greater than the published incidence of concussion. Moreover, in 70% of homes where women are assaulted, children also are abused. As many as 15.5 million American children live in families in which IPV has occurred during the past year. Women in rural locations generally experience similar or greater rates of IPV as urban women, may be subjected to more chronic and severe abuse, and typically live much farther from available resources than those in urban areas. Currently, these victims have few places to seek education, advocacy, services, and treatment.

Consequently, victims of IPV in rural areas may be less likely to receive counseling and health care, and possibly receive lower quality health care when it is available, than urban women. Also, law enforcement interventions may be less likely to occur in rural areas, thereby exacerbating IPV as a chronic issue.  Additionally, Indigenous populations throughout North America are at greater risk for concussions and poor concussion-related outcomes based on health disparities, connections to poverty, violence, and systemic racism.

As documented in our epidemiological analysis, Indigenous populations have a dramatically different and increasing incidence than anticipated by population demographics and comprised a much greater proportion of diagnoses compared with the representative state demographics. Dr. Handmaker will discuss the obstacles to determine the true incidence of the problem and potential solutions to reduce its frequency and improve the outcomes for the victims.

While gender parity is an important point, women officers bring a unique value that solves many of the challenges agencies across the US are facing.

• Women officers use less force or excessive force and are less likely to fire their firearms in the course of their careers.
• They use their discretion to make fewer arrests for minor or misdemeanor offenses. When they do traffic stops, they are more likely to find contraband.
• Women officers are associated with better outcomes for victims of crime, particularly for victims of sexual assault.
• Community members typically see women officers as more trustworthy and compassionate

This webinar will examine the 30×30 Initiative – from concept and inception, to existing best practices.  Maureen Quinn McGough, (Chief of Strategic Initiatives for the Policing Project at NYU Law, and Co-Founder of the 30×30 Initiative) will outline the benefits of women officers within policing, and how 30×30 will help police departments with recruiting and retention of female officers. Chief Ken Clary, (Bellevue Police Department) will discuss the impact the pledge has had on his department – how it has changed their approach to hiring – and how it is helping to build a culture of inclusion. Sergeant Theresa Magyera, (Madison (WI) Police Department) will give specific examples that can be tailored to your organization to increase women’s representation within your organization – as we work to make our police forces more demographically representative of the populations we serve.

While gender equity in and of itself is important, advancing women in policing also shows promise for improving public safety outcomes and addressing some of policing’s persistent challenges.

More than 200 agencies–ranging in size from major metropolitan police departments to smaller, rural agencies–have taken the 30×30 Pledge, a series of low- and no-cost actions policing agencies can take to improve the representation and experiences of women in law enforcement. The activities help policing agencies assess the current state of a department with regard to gender equity, identify factors that may be driving any disparities, and develop and implement strategies and solutions to eliminate barriers. These actions address recruitment, assessment, hiring, retention, promotion, and agency culture. Learn more by visiting 30x30initiative.org.

Women in Federal Law Enforcement (WIFLE) is an organization of individuals working together to foster awareness of the value that women bring to law enforcement. WIFLE’s goals include recruitment, retention, and promotion of women in federal law enforcement occupations, and the continued development of an information sharing and support network. WIFLE promotes collaborative leadership styles and the development of programs and policies that balance community service with enforcement of the laws. WIFLE also serves as an information and resource network for women in federal law enforcement, domestically and internationally. WIFLE is a leader in diversity, equity and inclusion in the federal law enforcement profession, a cornerstone to effectively serving communities across the country.

Individuals sentenced to probation must follow a set of rules, or the conditions of probation. These conditions take effect immediately and require that individuals find and maintain employment and housing, stay within the boundaries of the local county, remain drug and alcohol-free, avoid bars and others with criminal histories, and abide by curfew hours. Importantly, these conditions do not account for the science of substance use disorders and recovery, do not consider the social structures in which individuals are situated, and do not consider how other social institutions (e.g. housing, employers) can get in the way of following these rules. As a result, individuals often find themselves breaking these rules, or collecting technical violations, for mostly legal behaviors and returning to jail. In response, two districts in Iowa have reconsidered their probation conditions. Specifically, one district reduced the number of conditions and the other district rewrote conditions to center change orientation. This presentation discusses the process the site took to change their conditions, the impacts of these changes on revocations and public safety, and offers a thorough discussion about how fewer rules may help probationers of all risk levels get across the finish line.

Audience members can expect to learn:

• The process agencies are taking to reconsider and rewrite the rules of probation
• Why individuals who score high risk on assessment tools might benefit from fewer rules
• How to challenge themselves to consider the purpose of writing and submitting violations of conditions to the court

Violent crime is on the rise in many jurisdictions, including rural communities. Rural law enforcement agencies are left to tackle these issues, often with a decreasing tax base, personnel shortages, expansive geographic territory, and lack of access to medical treatment that can make violent crimes more fatal than in urban settings.

During this webinar, attendees will:

• Learn about the RVCRI including a program overview and how to apply if interested
• Hear from current RVCRI grantees on how they are using RVCRI funds and assistance to address violent crime challenges in their rural communities
• Identify promising practices that other agencies and departments are engaging in

About the National Policing Institute: Formerly known as the National Police Foundation, the National Policing Institute’s mission is to pursue excellence in policing through innovation and science. It is the oldest nationally-known, non-profit, non-partisan, and non-membership-driven organization dedicated to improving America’s most noble profession – policing.

The National Policing Institute has been on the cutting edge of police innovation for over 50 years since it was established by the Ford Foundation as a result of the President’s Commission on the Challenge of Crime in a Free Society (1967) and the related conclusions of the Kerner and Eisenhower Commissions, taking place during the same era.

Animal protection professionals rely on prosecutors to hold animal cruelty offenders accountable. When veterinarians, law enforcement, animal control officers, and animal care entities put significant resources into an investigation, it can be disheartening and frustrating when a prosecutor declines to charge on that case. Instead of looking for fault at the prosecutorial level, this presentation will hold up a mirror to the entities working these cases and reflect on primary areas that can be most improved in order to present a case more viable for prosecution.

In this presentation, Animal Legal Defense Fund Managing Attorney Emily Lewis, will not delve into the specifics of how to adequately conduct an animal cruelty investigation, but rather will provide insight—specific to animal protection professionals who are relatively new to the field—as to how to anticipate the needs of a prosecutor in your case investigation and presentation. Prosecutorial discretion notwithstanding, evidence tracking, veterinary collaboration, and report writing are fundamental to animal cruelty case processing, and are all within the control of individuals participating in these cases.

The webinar will emphasize how to strengthen and highlight these aspects of your animal cruelty cases in a way that will give them the consideration they deserve.

United States agencies are being pushed to their limit in the wake of understaffing and high crime levels. Many agencies spend too much time and effort producing hotspot analysis reports to direct officers where to go.

Unlike what the public is exposed to through the CSI Effect, where results are always obtained in a case using state o the art equipment. The reality within the forensic science laboratory is that evidence is very fragile, and often examinations may not yield probative results. However, expert witnesses must be able to explain these results to the jury in order to help them understand that in reality, viable results are not always obtained, and the many factors that can have an effect on the evidence. During this session, the importance of articulating the significance of negative results will be discussed and how it can have an impact on the trial process.

Over the last decade, there has been an increase in community expectations regarding law enforcement’s response to individuals in a behavioral health crisis. With this pressure, many agencies experimented with various levels of response from increased training to embedding professionals within agencies.

During this session, we will discuss options for these responses including examples of each response and benefits or disadvantages of each. Additionally, funding options and implementation procedures including safety concerns for civilians will be examined. This session is part 1 of a two part series and part 2 will discuss managing and evaluating these responses.

Wearing a badge brings a certain amount of power and great deal of responsibility.  Animal control and humane officers make many decisions daily that impact people’s rights, public safety, animal welfare, and—most importantly—themselves and their career.  Almost all of us want to do the “right” thing in each case.  But, with so many competing interests, how do we know what the “right” thing is?  Is it ‘right’ to allow an animal to remain in a place where it will likely suffer?  Is it ‘right’ to bend the rules to stop or prevent animal suffering?  Who should own an animal, and what can they do to/with that animal?  And, what about euthanasia?  We will explore some of the real-world dilemmas that officers face regularly and discuss how to make the best decisions possible.

This session will cover:

• Animal, mineral or vegetable: what is a profession and are we one?
• What are the most important qualities in an animal control/humane officer?
• What influences can move the needle on our moral compass?
• Right vs. wrong; is it really black and white?
• Truth or consequences: When is it okay to lie?
• Should you compromise your principles?

In this webinar, you will learn how participating in a thorough assessment of your healthcare system, how to invest in your staff, professionally, and how national standards and accreditation may keep you on the right path to success.

US law enforcement is often unable to accurately identify and or recognize human trafficking when they encounter it in the field. This is not because law enforcement is lazy or doesn’t care, they often have not been provided with the most accurate up-to-date training. Most agencies supply the “bare minimums” of or “outdated” human trafficking training nationwide during basic academy or in-service type training. And nationwide staffing shortages often lead to minimizing time on the scene, going further into questioning, or even looking deeper during investigations related to other crimes that may be related to human trafficking. It is estimated that there are more than 400,000 human trafficking victims in the US alone. During this webinar, two experienced investigators will discuss multiple examples where they failed to recognize human trafficking during their time working in drug and gang-related cases. Both investigators will also address and answer the following questions:

• What does human, sex, and labor trafficking currently look like for law enforcement in the field?
• What is the nexus between drugs and human trafficking?
• Why is the human trafficking illicit industry growing daily?
• What does sex trafficking look like in prostitution cases?
• How many human trafficking cases have a multi-state nexus involved?
• If my agency discovers a human trafficking victim, how long are we going to be involved?
• What assistance options are available for law enforcement to use to get someone out of human trafficking?

Women have been told for ages to Lean In, be the Bosslady, to speak up, sit at the table and on and on. But why do we have to be told that? What holds us back and why? Is the current definition of leadership healthy?  During this webinar, we will examine the reasons behind our tendency to ‘play small’ and then look at tangible things we can do to grow our confidence in this ever changing and more demanding world. You will gain an actionable plan that allows you to stretch yourself. But most importantly, learn how to define YOUR authentic style of leadership that is uniquely you!

Jails and prisons invariably provide religious support to inmates, but few agencies have chaplains who solely support correctional staff. Staff deserve and need spiritual support. They serve in a tough environment — plus their shifts mean they often miss uplifting holidays, weekends, family celebrations, and faith services. Many in corrections say that their work is unseen, unknown, and unappreciated by the public. These “hidden heroes” welcome volunteer chaplains who initiate contact and provide a convenient, caring, confidential ear. When distressed, staff typically don’t reach out for help; but a roving chaplain who checks on every on-duty member can uncover and support anguished hearts. It helps to share distress, to release it, knowing “I’m not alone.” This can aid emotional and physical well-being. Since its launch in January 2018, this roving, chaplains-just-for-staff initiative has been successful at Cook County jail – so much so that three of its 30-year COs returned after retirement to join the chaplain team!

 During this Webinar You’ll Learn about:

• The need for and value of having on-site, roving, volunteer chaplains who solely support correctional staff
• Why it’s not optimum to have volunteers who support inmates to also support correctional staff
• How chaplains-for-staff complement EAP and Peer Support
• How to launch, maintain, and grow a no-cost chaplain-for-staff program at your facility

After the creation of a community crisis response within your law enforcement agency, how do you manage the programs and balance issues that arise? Is there an appropriate time to completely change a response if your evaluation shows it is not effective?

We will discuss the unique challenges of these programs within law enforcement and the unique need to consider program changes to address the community or funding option as they change. Lastly, we will look at the possible evolution of social services and legal options to remove law enforcement from crisis response.

More and more animal welfare agencies across the country are beginning to look into the connectivity between the work they do in their communities and the native wildlife that live there. Animal care and control facilities are fielding hundreds of calls yearly each relating to concerns and questions from citizens about native wildlife. Similarly, animal control agencies are becoming increasingly tasked with responding to calls for service in the field relating to wildlife. These increasing trends can leave many agencies in the scramble trying to decide their role in wildlife conservation and conflict mitigation and filling in gaps as they appear.

This webinar will provide measured steps and benefits for animal welfare organizations and field service agencies to begin engaging in wildlife work and transform the way you respond to these types of situations as they arise all while upholding your humane mission. The benefits for taking the time to engage in these systematic changes are innumerable and include- humane outcomes for wildlife in your community, a reduced workload for officers in the field, increased disease tracking and mitigation techniques, and a greater understanding of how to solve problems that arise with native wildlife.

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.

On March 4, 1991, local Los Angeles news stations broadcasted the Rodney King incident for the first time. Over the next 30 years, our communities have become indoctrinated with the expectation of information and video evidence from their police departments following critical incidents. Advancements in camera and cell phone technology coupled with the social media boom have greatly influenced how and when agencies must communicate.

Public safety leadership must prepare their agencies through consistent communication utilizing these non-traditional platforms to create a dialogue with those they serve. In the event of a critical incident, such as an officer-involved shooting, leadership must consider maintaining this community dialogue while measuring the perspectives of all stakeholders within the event.

This presentation will highlight the proliferation of crisis communication in the modern law enforcement landscape with those evolving expectations from our communities.

Law enforcement usually only receives the bare minimum of human trafficking training. Most training only concentrates on the “force, fraud coercion” portions of human trafficking but not real-world examples of what it looks like in the field and or how to successfully investigate these cases.

Human trafficking (HT) investigations are unique in nature since the preferred response with victims during sting-type operations is to not arrest. And this is often a hard pill for law enforcement to grasp without some discussions and more in-depth training on HT. This webinar will show real examples of what human trafficking looks like in the field from interdiction, gang, and drug investigations.

Law enforcement will also get a brief overview of what to do and whom to include in proactive human trafficking investigations.  This block will cover the manpower, prosecutors, non-governmental organizations (NGO), money, electronic surveillance equipment, undercover selection, and considerations when proactively doing in-call & outcall prostitution stings, illicit massage parlors, and forced labor investigations.

The National Policing Institute has been on the cutting edge of police innovation for over 50 years since it was established by the Ford Foundation as a result of the President’s Commission on the Challenge of Crime in a Free Society (1967) and the related conclusions of the Kerner and Eisenhower Commissions, taking place during the same era.

Resolution in animal cruelty response can take the form of criminal citation, compliance plans, or access to services. In striving for resolution, cases are best served when enforcement professionals can rely on trained veterinarians, animal rescue and sheltering entities, and community service organizations to lend their particular expertise to each case.

In this webinar, you will learn—through case studies and firsthand testimony—how the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Collaborative Response Project helped foster collaborative relationships for one community through training, grant funding, and hands on support.

Encourage animal control officers, veterinarians, traditional law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and community organizations in your area to tune in and explore the ways you can start building sustainable partnerships on behalf of animals today.  Be the first to learn how to apply to participate in the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s 2023 Collaborative Response Project.

Women are significantly underrepresented in most industries’ leadership roles, especially law enforcement and public safety. In considering ways to increase the number of women in leadership roles, research implications identify that executive coaching for women can improve performance as a leader, engagement at work, development of a personal vision, career satisfaction, and organizational collaboration while increasing feelings of legitimacy in their leadership roles. However, how well do organizations support the executive development of women? Does your organization even have the structural mechanisms to provide the support you may need?

When considering participating in or even implementing an executive coaching program for women, it will be essential to understand that an executive coaching program must strike a balance between identifying the structural support and organizational change needed and why it should be a priority for you as a leader. In this webinar, the discussion will examine the benefits of executive coaching for women and the structural elements the agency leaders can consider for supporting an executive coaching program designed for women.

Women have felt the frustration of trying to achieve the next level within their careers. The steps in getting to that next level can be murky and exhausting, depending on whom you talk to. What is needed is a pathway to ascension and an understanding of the actions that need to be executed to build a foundation of success. This webinar will highlight the nine themes derived from a doctoral study that explored women in federal law enforcement ascending to leadership roles and the perceptions of the influence of leadership traits, peer-to-peer mentoring, and resiliency on the ascension.

During this webinar, we will:

• Learn the importance of being strategic in your law enforcement career.
• Explore the leadership traits needed to succeed in leadership roles within law enforcement.
• Gain visibility and access to strategies to ascend to leadership roles in law enforcement.

We’ve all heard the expression, “Culture eats policy for breakfast.” The question that is rarely discussed is, why is that? In this ever-changing world of public safety, knowing how to identify a subtle but toxic culture could be disastrous if not appropriately addressed. Hence, some agencies find themselves in trouble, such as losing public trust or consent decrees. Cultural change does not have to have a negative connotation when done correctly. Understanding an organization’s culture can be challenging to make it the “right culture” for everyone.

This webinar will explain culture on a deeper level and the practical steps you can apply to make positive change.

“Why is this therapist such a bad witness?”  “Why is this psychologist refusing to release their paperwork to me?”  “Why is this doctor giving me such a hard time?”  If you have ever asked any of these questions (or similar ones) when interacting with a mental health/behavioral health provider, then you need to attend this talk.  The twofold focus of this talk is first to teach legal professionals how to “speak therapist.”  The secondary focus of this talk is to teach therapists and other behavioral health providers how to understand “attorney-ese.”  The main goal of this talk is to help bridge the worlds of the mental health provider and the legal provider so that both can better help the family they are working with.  A strong emphasis on cases involving child trauma will be part of this talk and specific examples and strategies to help bridge the two spheres will be given.

Have you ever been troubled as a leader that your staff didn’t fulfill their role and duties the way that you expected? Have you had the thought that you gave clear instructions or guidance, but they didn’t seem to be understood based on the recipient’s response or reaction? Have you wondered why they didn’t simply do or say things the way that you would have in a given situation? If you have, then you share these experiences with many others who have expressed frustration with the sometimes-complicated tasks of managing personnel. Because of the variability among people, there is no single style or model of leadership that can produce consistently positive outcomes for all employees. However, there are principles that are known to produce better results more frequently. In a lively conversation, Drs. Ed Sherman and David Bond will tackle this topic and offer ideas and suggestions about how to identify, address, and improve interactions in order to bolster rapport and maximize organizational effectiveness. Through real-world examples, the methods discussed will be provided in a practical, applied manner that will allow participants to immediately utilize the concepts and skills.

We need to do the right thing when it comes to interacting with the citizens of our communities and meeting their needs. But if that isn’t enough motivation, the Department of Justice considers the Americans with Disabilities Act to be one of the most important civil rights laws, and they actively enforce it. A quick search of their website will turn up many settlement agreements, consent decrees, complaints, and legal briefs, dozens of which are directly against criminal justice agencies. In other words, it’s important.

After this webinar, you’ll

• Understand what the ADA is and why it applies to criminal justice agencies
• How the ADA applies in different criminal justice contexts (patrol, custody, administrative functions)
• Basic compliance with the ADA

Studies have shown that depression and PTSD are up to 5 times more common in first responders and that 85% of first responders have experienced symptoms related to mental health conditions. Most alarming of all, a first responder is more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty.

How we currently lead in first responder organizations is changing and the days of strict, authoritarian leadership styles are a thing of the past. Due to our changing working force and the abundance of data regarding first responder health/wellness, it is imperative that organizations adopt a more trauma-informed leadership style and implement organizational programs that address the physical, emotional, and mental health needs of their employees.

This webinar will examine the traditional leadership styles of first responder organizations and why we must evolve; discuss the key attributes of trauma-informed leadership for first responders; provide examples of wellness programming available to organizations, and provide tips on how to sell executive leadership on wellness programming.

This presentation will assist law enforcement, prosecutors, and forensic interviewers with the tools needed to work with the victim population often found in domestic minor sex trafficking cases.  Interviewers often either use a forensic interviewing model or a suspect interviewing model.  This population, however, typically needs an approach that is a hybrid of the two models.  This presentation will use the semi-structured cognitive interview protocol (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development – NICHD) of forensic interviewing yet adapted to the needs of sex trafficking victims.

As the pandemic continues in many locations, community supervision agencies are still balancing in-person versus virtual contacts. While traditional probation relies on face-to-face contacts, probation departments took a leap in early 2020 to move everything virtually. While there were some initial struggles, sites that remained virtual moving forward have had some initial outcomes that are promising. In addition, there have been several lessons learned to help support people on supervision to be successful using virtual contacts.

This webinar presents preliminary findings on the use of virtual contacts among people on probation in the state of Illinois.

Managers’ and trainers’ overall duty is to develop their colleagues and students. Often employee development is wrapped up in what or how. This is due, in large part as the criminal justice profession has become outcome-driven and an unreal expectation of perfection.  Most often the what and how are influenced by the why.  The why is cognitive and requires a different training strategy than tactical or physical skills.

We will look at the Cognitive Coaching philosophy developed by Gary Klein and adapted for the criminal justice professional.  Cognitive Coaching addresses two areas. The first is a mindset shift on the part of the manager or trainer.  Being curious about why errors happen, developing a beginner’s mindset and simplification are included in the mindset shift required to teach cognitive skills.

The second addresses how to assist our colleagues and students connect the dots.  How insight becomes intuition and the role experience plays in sensemaking and better decision-making. Some of the techniques include the identification of subtle cues, Pre-mortems/After Action Reviews, and situational awareness.

According to researchers, Toxic Work Culture is 10x more important than pay in predicting turnover.  In an era of unprecedented staffing shortages across the industry, agencies must step up to improve those workplace factors that are within our control.  Turnover due to toxic work culture is preventable. Some unhappy employees describe workplaces that don’t promote diversity and inclusion, cutthroat environments, and failure to recognize employee performance.  This session will discuss ways to improve employee engagement via Management by Committee, an inclusive leadership model that improves employee engagement and buy-in, and ideas for celebrating success without breaking your agency budget.

When law enforcement is called to investigate the tragedy of an apparent unexplained, sudden death of a young child or infant, everyone is looking for answers. The quality of the investigation will be the determining factor on whether we can hold any one person or persons accountable for any abuse or neglect that may have caused the death. A systematic and collaborative approach to these investigations is critical to explaining the circumstances surrounding a fatal incident, excluding the possibility of accidents or non-criminal conduct, and providing the prosecution with the evidence and information necessary to charge and successfully convict offenders.

When conducting a crime scene investigation, responders often are tasked with the development and recovery of latent print evidence. However, one of the most important steps in this examination process is the ability to visualize latent prints and photograph them appropriately for further examination. In this session, the different lighting methods for evidentiary photography will be discussed, as well as how this important step solved a homicide case, being the only recovered evidence.

Mobile phone theft is an ever-increasing issue that goes beyond the initial inconvenience of the loss of the phone. Today’s mobile device houses our most private information: from our personal communications to our photos, passwords, and apps to everything from our banking to online shopping, and can even have private employer information.

But investigating these property crimes isn’t always easy.

The National Mobile Property Registry provides officers and analysts a single-search tool for accessing over a billion device records of activity sourced from retailers, buy-back kiosks, pawn, second-hand, manufacturers, insurers, Telcom carriers, and consumers. Not limited to only IMEI numbers, this database is freely accessible to law enforcement and doesn’t require additional authority to search.

During this webinar, we’ll discuss:

• What IMEI numbers are
• Nlets and NMPR
• How to access NMPR directly
• When to use NMPR (different case studies)

Do your direct reports struggle to reclaim the drive that attracted them to law enforcement and public safety? Do they neglect the self-care that would keep them focused, physically fit, and in control of their emotions? Are they influenced by peer pressure, rather than blazing their own paths to leadership? If you’ve answered yes, you are not alone. You can stimulate personal and professional growth for your direct reports by adding “coach” to your tool kit. This webinar will offer techniques for:

• engaging your direct reports in their own self-improvement
• asking questions that help your team to learn from mistakes and set meaningful goals
• creating a culture in which people are encouraged to experiment, learn, and grow.

The relationship between TBI and intimate partner violence (IPV) is increasingly evident and alarming, as physical abuse often focuses on the head, neck, and face. This symposium highlights the framework necessary to understand and approach TBIs that originate from IPV. Distinct from athletics or warfare-related TBI, the cognitive, somatic, and emotional symptoms of TBI from IPV can also interfere with self-care, caring for families, and strategies to leave an abusive relationship. The presentation will cover the scope of the epidemic, opportunities to educate service providers, and considerations for assessment and intervention. Dr. Lifshitz will specifically discuss ongoing epidemiological studies and laboratory results on the topic. One published study reports the state-wide epidemiology of concurrent concussion and domestic violence, where the results point to infant boys and child-bearing-age women at the greatest risk. A laboratory study of TBI during pregnancy (gravida TBI) in mice evaluated the effects on the neurological development of the offspring, and a subsequent study to describe the state-wide epidemiology on 300,000 pregnancies, with ~30,000 TBI/IPV events during pregnancy.

Working in a public safety/justice career can lead to a very difficult and exhausting life, both at work and at home. Too often “I’ll enjoy life when I retire” seems to be the end goal, but when retirement actually happens it can leave personnel feeling disconnected and without purpose.  The trauma and negativity experienced throughout the career doesn’t magically disappear upon retirement, unfortunately, and is carried into this new phase of life.  In this webinar we will discuss how to live a more fulfilled and balanced life from the beginning of your career all the way through to retirement, so that your mental health remains positive and strong along the way. Retirement, once reached, then becomes a continuation of a life lived well, rather than just an escape from a difficult and/or traumatic career.

Many police agencies strive to recruit more women applicants and members of other minoritized groups. Yet, until recently, there has been very little evidence to guide practice in this area. Using insights from an NIJ-funded research study, From Research to Reality: Recruiting More Women into the Policing Profession, presenters will share recommendations for improving the inclusivity of online recruiting materials. In this webinar, you will learn how to optimize website content, social media posts, recruitment videos, and job descriptions to encourage women and other diverse candidates to apply. Presenters will also discuss the policies, practices, and culture needed to better support women and all police professionals throughout their careers.

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.

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.

Those who experience crime are not a monolith, and many victims of crime can experience multiple types of victimization. A one size fits all approach leaves many victims without the services and support they need. Service providers need to understand poly victimization and how it impacts survivors’ experiences with the justice system and work to find the right resources and support mechanisms to serve victims best.

During this webinar, participants will:

• Begin to understand how poly-victimization plays a role in how victims interact with the justice system
• Identify how the intersection of poly-victimization and victim services creates gaps in service for victims,
• Identify three strategies service providers can use to unite allied partners to ensure victims and survivors experiencing poly-victimization get the support they need.

The National Center for Victims of Crime is a nonprofit organization that advocates for victims’ rights, trains professionals who work with victims, and serves as a trusted source of information on victims’ issues. After more than 35 years, we remain the most comprehensive national resource committed to advancing victims’ rights and helping victims of crime rebuild their lives.

The National Center is, at its core, an advocacy organization committed to — and working on behalf of — crime victims and their families. Rather than focus the entire organization’s work on one type of crime or victim, the National Center addresses all types of crime.

The law enforcement profession is designed to serve and protect communities throughout this country.  Men and women in uniform spend 20-30 years selflessly committing themselves to reduce crime, the fear of crime, and improve the quality of life among those whom they serve daily.  However, the question remains, who is there to pour into them as they continue to pour into others?

This webinar is designed to offer strategies for those heroes to implement into their lives focusing on their social, emotional, and psychological well-being along with explaining the long-term benefits of these strategies for themselves, their organizations, and their communities.

What would you do if your agency’s official social media accounts got hacked? How would you let your community know? How would you get control back? And what can you do to prevent it? This webinar will provide those answers from someone whose agency experienced a large-scale, international hack of their Facebook page. You’ll learn about prevention strategies, key contacts at social media platforms, informing your followers, recovery plans and more.

As an effective leader and communicator, we need to have our employees understand the intent of our message and why it is important to the organization.  We can have the best of intentions of making a team, department, or entire organization better.  But too many times the message is not understood, or it is poorly received.  This webinar will provide strategies which will help your people understand the ideas you are presenting and make them easier to implement.

As an executive communicator, peers will seek you out for guidance.  Your influence can reveal itself at meetings, training sessions, and informational briefings.  The webinar will challenge you to use the ideas and concepts below when talking to you people:

• Knowing your audience and how to connect with them.
• What are the commonalities that will help me relate to my audience?
• Relevant storytelling to make my message impactful.
• Utilizing questions when developing agendas to promote thinking by attendees prior to the meeting itself.
• Using questions to redirect a meeting or presentation that is not going as planned.

As leaders, I firmly believe that we are also teachers.  We are constantly selling and reinforcing what we communicate to our people.  This webinar will provide several tools to help leaders communicate their ideas, solutions, and intent to their people.

Organizational stress generally refers to the organizational context in which officers work and is differentiated from operational stress (occupational dangers and exposure to risk). Examples of organizational stressors in policing and corrections include bureaucratic red tape, work schedules, workload, disciplinary culture, lack of internal procedural justice, and lack of support by supervisors. Increasingly, the research evidence indicates that organizational stressors may pose far greater consequences to officer health and wellness than operational ones.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• the extant research on police and correctional officers’ stress
• organizational stressors unique to law enforcement and corrections organizations
• impacts on officer health and wellness, and
• mitigating factors as well as strategies that individual officers and their organizations can employ to reduce the harmful effects of organizational stress.
