SUMMARY:Below 100 Intensive Training
DESCRIPTION:Below 100 is a national officer safety initiative that aims to reduce annual line of duty deaths to below 100\, a number not seen since 1943.  The United States has averaged over 150 officers killed per year in the last ten years. Together\, we can bring that number to below 100.  We have identified five key tenets by which we can improve officer safety and prevent unnecessary Line of Duty Deaths: Wear your seatbelt; Wear your vest; Watch your speed; WIN! – What’s Important Now?; and Complacency Kills!  These areas are where each law enforcement officer can make a difference.   This is one of the most important Officer Safety training programs offered to law enforcement today.  Below 100 isn’t just about statistics – It’s about each and every officer\, supervisor and leaders taking individual and collective responsibility for the decisions and actions that contribute to officer and public safety. \nINSTRUCTOR:        Corporal Geoffrey T. Bush\, Pennsylvania State Police Academy  \n                                      EVOC/Officer Safety Instructor and Below 100 Core Trainer\n                                      Email: gbush@pa.gov \nCOST:     FREE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT \n        LOCATION:      Stafford Performing Arts Center (STAC) \n100 McKinley Ave \nManahawkin NJ 08050 \nCoffee\, Water will be available. \nREGISTRATION:   Register by emailing training officer Marisa Lawrence at mlawrence@staffordpolice.org \n\nJust send agency name and how many will be attending.

SUMMARY:Conducting Sexual Assault Investigations
DESCRIPTION:*This course is presented in-person or remote. \nSexual assault is one of the most complicated crimes to investigate. \nIn the investigation and prosecution of most sexual assault cases\, the role of the victim is much more important than in other crimes since the victim is usually the sole witness to the crime. Unfortunately\, sexual assault victims are sometimes reluctant to cooperate with law enforcement because they fear the perpetrator will return to retaliate. It is therefore imperative that sexual assault investigators understand victim responses and utilize the appropriate interview skills necessary in these cases. Not all victims of sexual assault behave in the same manner\, so it is essential the investigator be informed\, of mental and physical reactions to sexual assault. Understanding and working with your victim is crucial to successfully prosecute these cases. \nTopics also covered: \n\ncollecting evidence\nwriting reports that effectively present the facts of even the most challenging sexual assault cases\nusing a Sex Assault Nurse Examiner System\nunderstanding different types of sex crimes to include the specific statutory differences\nidentifying and overcoming personal feelings and beliefs about sex assault\nthe search for truth with compassion

SUMMARY:Dealing with First Amendment Auditors
DESCRIPTION:We all cringe when we see the viral video of a First Amendment auditor baiting a police officer and they fall for it.

This class explains when First Amendment encounters violate the law. \nIt covers: \n\nCitizens recording in public\nCitizens recording the police\nWhen citizens are not entitled to record\nWhen recording the police constitutes an offense\nWhen an officer can request identification\nExplaining to officers that New Jersey IS NOT a “Stop and Identify” state and that simply failing to identify oneself is not a violation

SUMMARY:Developing & Refining the Essential Skills of Supervision & Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Course Summary: \nEffective front-line supervision is essential for the success of any law enforcement agency. It is here where the vision and planning of the organization is put to the test. The front-line supervisor implements the goals and objectives established by upper management and the senior executive. If the performance of the front-line supervisor does not meet expectations\, the goals and objectives may not be reached. It is imperative that senior leadership prepare and develop their current and future front-line supervisors. \nThis training will cover essential supervision and leadership theory\, both as a precursor for future and new supervisors\, but also as a needed refresher for existing supervisors. This 2-Day course will also utilize an assessment center component for students to problem solve and respond to common employee-centered issues. The primary focus of the exercises will relate to employee performance and discipline\, both of which new supervisors have difficulties. \nCourse Highlights: \n\nInstructed by current law enforcement executives\nExamine Essential Leadership and Supervision Theories\nAssessment Center Practical Scenarios designed to force students to address subordinates’ poor performance and/or disciplinary issues\nTeaches students how to have difficult discussions with subordinates

SUMMARY:Radicalization\, Sovereign Citizens & Extremists
DESCRIPTION:Our country is in the midst of an ideological civil war\, and those in law enforcement find themselves in the crosshairs while trying to keep the peace. From the events that have unfolded in the past few years\, from Charlottesville to January 6th\, as well as historic terror attacks like Oklahoma City Bombing\, we can see the very fabric of our society being pulled at the seams. This class breaks down the fundamental ideology of the various extremist belief systems\, from sovereign citizens to Patriot Front\, as well as Fringe groups that have taken up the headlines like Antifa and Boogaloo Bois. Attendees will learn the subtle indicators of an extremist or hate group presence in their jurisdictions\, and the best course of action to move forward. Such topics as home-grown violent extremists (HGVE)\, racially motivated violent extremists (RMVE)\, and anti-government anti-authority violent extremists (AAGAVE) will be covered in depth\, and understand how social media platforms and messaging services\, like Telegram\, play a crucial role in investigations into these actors. \nAttendees will understand how conspiracies\, often birthed and fostered online\, are often the cornerstone to the extremist mindset\, specifically concerning QAnon. Attendees will also learn about how extremist content is often disguised as pro-police\, often resulting in law enforcement sharing or liking memes or posts from accounts attributed to extremism which can be extremely detrimental. Attendees will also learn of various sovereign citizen movements and the best course of action should there be any law enforcement encounters. This is the first class of its kind\, attendees will walk away with a better understanding of the biggest threat to not only law enforcement\, but the United States as a whole. \nUnderstanding the various extremist belief systems and extremist subsets\, and tell-tale signs of their presence in an area. \nRecognize Sovereign Citizen ideology and best practices for sovereign citizen related activity. \nA deeper understanding of prevalent conspiracies and how the internet\, specifically social media and messaging apps\, play a crucial role in spreading extremist ideology and are radicalization precursors. \nWhat law enforcement can do to help combat these ideologies\, from a Local to Federal level. \nUnderstand the fine line where First Amendment/Freedom of Speech ends and Extremism/Radicalization begins.
