		Lisa Skinner, Humintell (VA) Evaluating Truthfulness and Detecting Deception through Verbal and Nonverbal Indicators Participants learn how lies "leak out" - primarily through the face and involuntary microexpressions - and how to detect these signs of leakage through multiple channels of nonverbal behaviors. Additionally, participants learn to analyze verbal statements to identify meaningful content areas where "there is more to the story than is being told". Within the law enforcement context, nonverbal behavioral analysis and statement analysis are powerful investigative tools when used separately and until now, these techniques have traditionally been taught separately to law enforcement officers. This course combines the two techniques into a more powerful investigative interviewing and interrogation tool. These techniques make the investigator more efficient and effective and instills greater confidence in his beliefs regarding veracity and deception. Read more about Lisa Skinner...

Cyber Intelligence

		John DeVoe, 252nd Session, River Vale Police Department/Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Computer Crimes Task Force (NJ) Sticks and Stones: A Cyberbullying Train-the-Trainer Today's youth have grown up in a world that is very different from that of most adults. Many young people experience the Internet and other technological advancements as a positive, productive and creative part of their lives and development of their identities - always on and always there. Unfortunately, these same technologies are also being used in a negative manner. One such abuse involves bullying via electronic means, or Cyberbullying.

Current research in this area indicates that Cyberbullying is a part of many young people's lives.

		John Iannarelli, 206th Session Counselor, FBI (AZ) Cyber Concerns for Law Enforcement in the 21st Century Previously, law enforcement viewed cyber matters to be limited solely to investigation of child pornography and predators on the Internet. However, in the 21st Century Law Enforcement now has a host of other issues to face that are changing the landscape of crime as well as threats to officers themselves. Whether it is Internet fraud that causes the loss of a citizen's life savings, a computer intrusion against the community's businesses, the threat of cyber terrorism against the city's infrastructure, or a cyber attack focused against individual officers, to include those who lead their agencies, law enforcement today needs to understand the cyber threats. Likewise, because resources are limited and few law enforcement agencies have the technical expertise available within their ranks, law enforcement needs to further understand where and how to leverage the necessary assets to address these problems. This course, complete with handout, is designed to inform law enforcement of the various issues and provide suggestions on how best to respond. Read more about John Iannarelli...

		Dan Willis, 241st Session, First Responder Wellness/La Mesa Police Department, Retired (CA) Bulletproof Spirit: Essential Guide toward Emotional Survival and Wellness Suicide is the #1 cause of death for police officers every year. An estimated 120,000 officers work every day with symptoms of PTSD. Only 3% of agencies have a suicide prevention/awareness program. Most agencies do not have a Peer Support team or a Wellness Program to promote emotional survival. With over 900 hours of police academy training in California, at most 2-4 hours are typically devoted to emotional survival. Officers distressed with PTSD and emotional suffering are incapable of providing effective professional service to the community. Well-trained and emotionally healthy officers provide the best chance to preserve the safety of our communities. Read more about Dan Willis...

		Terry Anderson, International Academy of Public Safety (CA) The Professionalization of Executive Leadership with Competency Based Online Education Executives have had many leadership courses.

		Cory Bouck, Serve-Build-Inspire Leadership (WI) Leading High-Performance Teams with the Four Secret Skills of Aggressive Followership In our hyper-competitive world, few people are working hard to be known as a great "follower," but the best leaders began their journey by developing strong followership skills. International leadership icons like Malcolm Forbes, WalMart's Sam Walton, Fred Smith of FedEx, and "Coach K" - Duke University basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski - all practiced followership relentlessly as they progressed in their careers, and they all learned it in the same place: as members of the U.S. military. Why is followership an essential form of leadership that you have to demonstrate throughout your whole career? Because all leaders are also still followers: they are still accountable to someone else above them. Even the Director of the FBI has a boss. Mastering the four roles and secret skills of followership will ensure the success of your high-performance team through better communication and teamwork in the paradoxically simultaneous roles of follower and leader.

Fitness/Wellness


		Brian Nanavaty, 255th Session, SafeCall Now/Indianapolis Metro Police Department (IN) Employee Development and Wellness-Healthy Hire-Healthy Retire Employee wellness should not wait for crisis to occur, but should begin during the hiring process. Wellness should include preventative programs aimed at both the professional and personal development of employees. Workplace experts advocate that by identifying healthy applicants and partnering to maintain employee health, the organization has the potential to improve morale and productivity and reduce complaints and liability. For companies that can fire, hire and train a new employee in half a day the long-term health of employees is negligible. For public safety organizations, with lengthy hiring processes and huge investments in money, training, equipment and reputation; it is imperative to identify "ideal" candidates and then work to keep them healthy.
