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. Many police officers lack training on the First Amendment and what citizens are entitled to do. While citizens are allowed to exercise a right\, they are not entitled to break a law to do 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: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: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:Vehicle Extractions & Hidden Hands
DESCRIPTION:This training is being created due to the many current law enforcement experiences with violent resistive and dangerous subjects coupled with the rising hostility towards police officers and law enforcement in general. The need for proper vehicle extraction training is invaluable. Officers are expected to be able to handle a physical confrontation quickly\, efficiently and professionally as they are ultimately responsible for the safety of all involved parties. \nThe first response of a Law enforcement officer who gets into a verbal confrontation with a resisting occupant of a motor vehicle\, should be to de-escalate and ask the suspect out of the vehicle. The Vehicle extraction training will be focused on when an officer is unable to de-escalate\, and the resister refuses to get out of the vehicle. At this point\, the officer must rely on force options to remove the suspect from the vehicle and place him/her under arrest. These techniques\, when applied correctly\, will remove the resistor from the vehicle without causing unnecessary injury to the suspect or the officer. These techniques give officers force options to effectively and safely remove a resisting suspect from a motor vehicle. \nVehicle Extraction for Law Enforcement will provide participants with functional knowledge of Vehicle Extraction techniques to subdue non-compliant occupants. Participants will be able to demonstrate proper vehicle extraction techniques for effectiveness and safety of both the officer member and the suspect. This course was developed due to the rise of non-compliant occupants in motor vehicles\, failing to provide proper identification and refusing to exit the vehicle. Having a functioning knowledge of vehicle extraction gives an officer the ability to quickly control a suspect and protects the officer against the dangers presented by a non-compliant occupant\, including existing traffic and the occupant’s vehicle becoming a weapon against the officer. The techniques learned in this course are designed to keep both the officer and the suspect safe and have been proven in real life situations.
