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

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

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

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

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

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

The audience will learn:

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

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

Participants will be asked to brainstorm and problem-solve multiple alternative response options as part of reviewing the scenarios. By the end of the webinar, participants should be able to identify specific strategies that can be used to support successful interactions with individuals on the spectrum and how those strategies can be applied across a variety of real-world situations and settings.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Victim Services in modern policing can help to develop programs, philosophies, and department-wide behaviors that further improve public safety, enhance systems of care for victims and help achieve department goals. In 2014, the Chattanooga Police Department (CPD) had limited experience with agency-based Victim Services or a victim-centered approach in policing. In less than three years, CPD built a robust Victim Services Unit (VSU) that proved to be a fundamental part of the law enforcement response to a mass casualty event. This VSU contributed to reductions in crime and increases in clearance rates, empowered victims, and continues to embody the true spirit of community policing. From building meaningful and collaborative relationships to improving trust with diverse community groups, the CPD continues to rely on the VSU as a core operational component of their public safety services. 

Through after-action analysis and discussion of promising practices, this presentation will highlight the value of a trauma-informed and victim-centered approach to policing.

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.

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

This session will cover:

• Roles of police/deputies in animal-related incidents
• Roles of animal control/humane officers in law enforcement
• Sources of authority of police/deputies and of animal control/humane officers, and how they differ
• Recognizing the gaps in training/expertise in both fields

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

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

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

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

We all know the dynamic of intimate partner violence and the five types of abuse. We all have had at least some training in coercive control and victim blaming. But how close are we paying attention to the latest tactic of coercive control through litigation?

This webinar will provide an overview of tactics and things to look for when abusive perpetrators use the various arms of the legal system to maintain control over their victims. An extreme form of ongoing psychological abuse that not only can stop a victim in their tracks but also clog up the judicial system and back up dockets. Tips and tools for all the main players of the judicial system to help provide accountability as well as prevent ongoing victim blaming and retraumatization will be provided. A brief case study will be utilized.

People in a trauma-induced crisis sometimes react to in ways that may appear threatening to a law enforcement officer. If an officer fails to recognize this as trauma-based or mental health-related behavior and does not safely de-escalate the situation he may instead rely on a force response; which only compounds the trauma to both parties. To date, the field of police reform has failed to focus on the full scope of the problem in developing solutions – the trauma experienced by police officers and its contribution to force-based community interactions. In a profession with the highest suicide rate of any other, untreated trauma within law enforcement affects not just officers, it extends to interactions with co-workers, family members, and the community. Officers living with untreated depression, trauma, anxiety, and PTSD[1] are four times more likely to self-report engaging in violence in the home and twice as likely to use excessive force on duty. Peer support programs are a critical lifeline for officers but can no longer be passive lifelines; the field has to address officer trauma, health, and wellness with the rigor of any other population health epidemic; or perhaps even greater, given that officer wellness is interconnected with community wellness, fair and just interactions, and that officers who understand, address, and receive quality healthcare for their exposure to trauma are more likely to recognize it in others and have fewer incidences of misconduct and excessive force within the communities they serve.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The saying, “The mouth can lie, but the body can’t” is largely true. During an interview, increased cognitive activity often “leaks” out into a person’s body language, behavioral activity, and other physical manifestations that, to the trained eye, are indicators of guilt and/or deception. In this webinar, we explore some of the common behavioral leakages that manifest during forensic interviews and examine a number of case studies of actual interviews.

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

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

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

Sex trafficking of minors is a real and significant threat in our communities across the United States. Traffickers must be prosecuted and held accountable, and victims must be met with a trauma-informed approach.  This presentation will provide investigators, prosecutors, probation officers, and victim advocates with insight into the culture and dynamics of domestic minor sex trafficking.  These cases come with significant hurdles to overcome such as a lack of corroborating evidence or “compliant” victims.  Ms. Micflikier will incorporate case studies and real-life examples of trafficking prosecutions to provide the audience with a basic understanding of trafficking culture, terminology, and the unique circumstances involved in the trafficking of minors for sex.

Optimally staffing the patrol function of police departments involves balancing a multitude of factors. While the department and many community members may want more officers, the fiscal reality of municipal budgets restrains those ambitions. Complicating the matter over the last two years is the lack of officers to fill positions. As a result, many departments are experiencing severe staffing shortages. The webinar will discuss factors to consider when staffing patrol and how additional training and time for community policing can impact the number of officers needed for patrol. Understanding the relationship between patrol staffing and external mandates such as training can help department leaders make informed decisions and educate policymakers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is the number one stressor in the workplace? Is it the emotional or physical toll your career takes on us? Is it citizens that demand too much with little or no support or appreciation? Those things can and are stressful, but research tells us it is the internal or organizational stress that causes the most damage. As an administrator, you are in charge of an organization that is probably understaffed, underfunded and under a microscope. We also know that due to this environment, we are putting a lot of demands on those we supervise which can cause stress.

In Part 2 of this two-part series, we will examine the sources of organizational stress and why they exist. Then we will identify ways to mitigate the effects of organizational stress from the perspective of an administrator.

• How to communicate effectively
• Provide tools for front line supervisors to explain the reasons behind changes and decisions
• Learning how to effectively receive input from staff

White-tailed deer are North America’s most abundant large herbivore and they, like many other wild species, are often a part of our neighborhoods and communities. Not only have white-tailed deer adapted to human-dominated landscapes, but because of how we’ve built and landscaped our cities and towns we’ve provided them with the kind of suitable habitat they prefer. White-tailed deer are often as much of a source of concern as they are a source of enjoyment – and many times communities become polarized regarding their presence. Join us for this webinar where we will give a comprehensive overview of living with deer in urban areas and review life history and the conflict issues associated with deer and how to mitigate them. Information will include the seasonal problem of kidnapped fawns, browse-related issues, and addressing the public safety concerns that range from deer vehicle collisions to concerns surrounding zoonotic disease transmission.

Nlets is a self-funded nonprofit, established in 1967 with the objective of connecting law enforcement, justice, and public safety agencies for the purpose of exchanging critical criminal justice information. They strive to ensure that the right information gets to the right person as quickly as possible. Nlets connects more than 1,000,000 users, 45,000 agencies, and 800,000 devices, with more than three billion transactions traversing their secure network last year.

While the focus is on tactics such as de-escalation, physical techniques, and new control weapons, little training is applied to the area of decision-making.  Criminal justice professionals work in an environment of uncertainty and complexity.  Complexity can undo the best strategy by failing to be aware of changes in the environment, be it person, place, or thing.

Join us as we look at two models to assist the criminal justice professional make better decisions. The first model is the OODA Loop developed by Col. John Boyd and used by many law enforcement trainers.  During the webinar, we will explain how to use the OODA Loop as a thinking model for better decision-making.  The second is the Cynefin Sensemaking Model. Developed by David Snowden, the Cynefin framework helps criminal justice professionals make sense of complex and chaotic events.  Joining OODA and Cynefin together makes a winning combination for better decision-making.

This is a follow up to Brian Lovins’ webinar on “Referee or Coach: How a Coaching Identity May Just Save Probation”.  We present a new coaching system for working with clients that officers can learn and use to improve outcomes. The COVE model (Coaching Options that are Versatile and Effective) combines evidence-based practices from coaching, role clarification, motivational interviewing, feedback-informed treatment, and cognitive-behavioral skill rehearsal.  COVE gives officers an easy-to-use system that has a natural and flexible flow to it.  It guides but does not dictate to the officer. Officers keep their freedom to be themselves and do what they know best.  It also gives officers an effective way of tracking client wellbeing/outcomes from session to session. Is my work helping clients to get better? If not, what do I need to change?  We will present the COVE model and send participants a COVE “starter form” that will allow them to test out the model immediately.

As contributing members in our organizations, we are commonly placed in a position where we need to communicate an idea or concept to our supervisors which may not be well received.  Too many times we simply do not share the ideas simply because it is an easier path to follow.  But when good ideas are not acted upon, the organization can continue to suffer with poor practices and inefficiency.  Knowing that we are trying to benefit the organization, we must learn how to sell our ideas up the chain of command.

Consider the following when beginning the process of influencing your supervisors:

• Have I sat on an idea simply because I believed it would not be considered?
• Are my intentions in benefiting the organization with my ideas genuine in intent?
• How does my working relationship with my supervisors affect the influence that I have with them?
• Do I need to move out of an area of professional comfort to convey my ideas to supervision?
• What if this becomes the best action I’ve ever taken?

In this webinar, you will learn the process of using Motivational Conversation to create questions and conversations to express your ideas to management and supervision.  There is a definite strategy which has been successfully used in large organizations to effect positive and much needed change.  It is an approach which can be learned and used by those who attend the webinar.  It is our intent to leave you with practical skills needed in sharing your ideas to those in your organization that can help you implement them.  It is a process that can be used to create positive influence with your supervisors, but also your peers.

The art humans make and the spirituality humans practice have involved animals throughout time. As such, it is no surprise that animal cases have given rise to some of this nation’s most notable 1st Amendment rulings, both for freedoms of speech and religious freedoms.

The stories these cases tell are complex, and woven throughout is an often unspoken question: how significantly do the rights of animals weigh in the arena of human constitutional rights?

Join David B. Rosengard, Animal Legal Defense Fund Managing Attorney, for an exploration of these cases and their implications through the lens of animal law. In doing so, we will discuss not only court opinions and dissents, but also examine how considering these cases in the context of animal interests challenges established readings, untangles seeming contradictions, and helps us build caselaw that is better for humans and animals alike.

Incidents of targeted violence continue to plague communities across the United States. Since the 2001 September 11^th attacks, the US has shifted from a repressive Counter Terrorism approach to one seeking to intervene before arrest, criminal prosecution, and detention become necessary. Many approaches to prevention have been leveraged to reduce harm to communities, with a renewed emphasis placed on behavioral threat assessment. With behavioral threat assessment being used outside of school and law enforcement settings, there is a need to improve understanding of the approach among a broader community of violence prevention practitioners. The National Policing Institute will provide an introduction to behavioral threat assessment and discuss potential opportunities and limitations to this approach.

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.

Low morale and high staff turnover damage personal resilience. Re-invigorating staff resilience can improve morale and retention. Transforming morale has to be done from the bottom up, i.e., at the officer level. Improving staff resilience, attitude and motivation will do more to improve morale and retention than simply changing policies. The work culture must change and that occurs at the individual staff level. This webinar will present 7 Keys to improve personal resilience, and therefore, the work culture.

During this webinar, you’ll learn about:

• What we do in our off-the-job life has a major impact on our on-the-job life. If we have personal resilience off-the-job, we will have on-the-job resilience. They are inseparable.
• The 7 Keys to resilience are and how to achieve them in your personal life.
• How personal resilience comes first, then team resilience, then unit resilience, then organizational resilience.

Stress-management provided us with the tools we needed when we were already stressed, but did not help us to keep from getting stressed. Self-care was introduced to help us prepare for stressful situations, but focused primarily on the body’s response to stress. We recognized that our perceptions, the way we think, our goals and expectations also create stress, and the concept of Resiliency was developed to address this. Now we recognize that stress and trauma can occur in any aspect of our lives, and our best preparation for these challenges is met in the concept of Wellness. This webinar will show how, in the face of personal, local, national and global trauma and challenge, the Wellness model of taking care of ourselves helps us prepare to cope with the crises and chaos we face in these times. The webinar will assist the participants create personal Wellness plans.

Injuries sustained during domestic violence incidents are an ever-increasing problem for law enforcement.  The number of incidents reported to law enforcement increases every year.  This increase in domestic violence leads us as law enforcement officers to have more contact with victims who have injuries.  The more accurately officers can assess domestic violence injuries, the better these officers will be able to assist our victims.  The successful collection of evidence of these injuries will lead to the successful prosecution of domestic violence offenders.

Leaders and organizations often treat change as a one-time event, rather than the process change truly is. And because it’s a process, it might take time for your staff or team to adapt to the changes being implemented.

People can resist change in several ways. They might play the victim, or try to play by the old rules or previous ways of doing things. They may become afraid of the future, and ultimately freeze like a deer in headlights. They may even find themselves trying to control the uncontrollable. Ultimately, these individuals may find that they cannot work in the stressful environment of turmoil that change can create.

Building on our August 2022 webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Accept and work through change,
• Move through your resistance to change, and
• Eliminate the pain of resistance.

Organized retail crime has grown into a national problem costing businesses millions of dollars and taxing the limited resources of law enforcement.  Technology has proven to be a game changer for law enforcement as they seek ways to hold those who are intent on driving up the crime rate accountable for their crimes.  But in order for the technology to be effective, authorities must first establish a partnership with the private sector retailers.   Learn how the Redlands Police Department is building relationships with the businesses in the community to address organized retail crime and what types of technology the two partners can deploy to thwart would be thieves.

Animal service professionals are often the first to arrive at emergencies and have regular contact with the public. De-escalation is not a new concept in policing, but the movement towards proactive community engagement has revealed important lessons for enhancing interactions with our constituencies. Practicing de-escalation is not only a powerful tactical tool but importantly, it is an investment in the communities we serve.

Topics to be covered:

• Shifting from a “warrior” to a “guardian” mindset
• Mindfulness around verbal and non-verbal cues
• Tips for incorporating cultural competency into our daily interactions.

Prosecution is not just about filing criminal charges and convicting defendants.  It’s also about improving the quality of life for citizens of the community.  The City of Phoenix Prosecutor’s Office in Phoenix, Arizona has an entire division that focuses on the needs of the citizens of Phoenix through its Community Bureau.

In this webinar, Alexandra Lange and Hilary Weinberg will talk about the special roles that some Phoenix prosecutors serve that are not part of traditional prosecution.  They will discuss the history of Community Prosecution and explain how their office is involved with helping proactively solve community issues before they require criminal prosecution.  Some of these issues relate to topics such as graffiti, zoning, and people experiencing homelessness, as well as the Office’s participation in numerous specialty court programs.

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.

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 vehicles, and warfare, however, the consequences of physical assault, specifically domestic violence 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 domestic violence had symptoms associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). 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 approximately 30 million women experiencing domestic violence, of which 20 million could demonstrate signs of TBI. Alone, this is 11-12 times greater than the published incidence of TBI. 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 domestic violence has occurred during the past year. Currently, these victims have few places to seek education, advocacy, services, and treatment. Women in rural locations generally experience similar or greater rates of IPV as urban
women, they may be subjected to more chronic and severe abuse, and those in rural areas typically live much farther from available resources than those in urban areas.

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 people throughout North America are at greater risk for TBI and poor TBI-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 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 determining 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 Imitative – 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 built 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 representation within your organization – as we work to make our police forces more demographically representative of the populations we serve.

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.

The Rural Violent Crime Reduction Initiative (RVCRI), funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and supported by the National Policing Institute and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), provides grants and training and technical assistance (TTA) support to law enforcement agencies addressing violent crime challenges in rural areas.

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
• Have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenters

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.

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.

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?
