Criminal Investigation of Deadly Force and Officer Involved Shootings

Plainfield Fire Protection District (Headquarters) 23748 W. 135th Street; Plainfield, IL 60544

Monday - Wednesday, September 18 - 20, 2017

8:00 am to 4:00 pm (8am to Noon on Wednesday) This course complies with the guidelines of the following mandate(s) Law Updates

Civil Rights | Constitutional and Proper Use of Law LE Authority | Use of Force | Lead Homicide

Course Description: There is arguably no single event that can traumatize a police agency more than a police officer involved shooting incident. The criticism and intense scrutiny generated by the media, community activists, the general public, and the criminal justice system itself, can be enormous. Civil judgments resulting from such cases can debilitate a police organization for years, have an adverse effect on employee morale, and hamper agency effectiveness through the erosion of public opinion. It is, therefore, imperative that every police department prepare in earnest for this inevitable eventuality. It is also essential that the investigator charged with the task of leading a police officer involved shooting investigation become as equally prepared.

The purpose of this course is to provide attendees with a basic investigative model that is applicable to all officer involved shootings incidents, regardless of the size of their department. Police officer involved shootings are vastly different from any other type of investigation. The stakes for the shooting officer and his department are so high that it is imperative that the investigation be conducted in a prescribed manner. This course will provide those in attendance with the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to handle any deadly force incident.

This course is intended for those investigators who are specifically assigned to the criminal investigation of officer involved shootings and in-custody deaths. It is also appropriate for those detectives or uniform personnel who may be required to assist in these types of investigations. Crime scene technicians, medical examiner/coroner investigators, supervisors, military investigators, criminal analysts, and prosecuting attorneys would also benefit from the training.

Tactical Analysis Program Based on the book Left of Bang

“Tactical Awareness and Threat Recognition”

Frankfort Police Department, 20602 Lincoln Way Lane, Frankfort, IL 60423 Tuesday & Wednesday, October 3 & 4, 2017

8:00 am till 4:00 pm This course complies with the guidelines of the following mandate(s): Use of Force | Cultural Competency | Procedural Justice | Civil Rights

Course Description: This course will be conducted by Patrick Van Horne (co-author of the acclaimed book Left of Bang), Co-founder and CEO of The CP Journal out of Boulder, Colorado. The CP Journal provides training and professional consultation to the military, law enforcement, and private security industry in behavioral analysis and threat recognition. The course is based on the principals of the Marine Corps' Combat Hunter Program that was developed during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Training Elements: Developing the ability to observe, classify, assess and communicate nonverbal behavior empowers our nation’s protectors to proactively recognize potential threats before an attack occurs. The observation process taught in this course improves both intuitive decision-making and the deliberate analysis of situations, persons, and environments.

The "Tactical Awareness and Threat Recognition" portion of the course provides instruction in the foundational behavioral observations used to make assessments about individual people. The course is focused on ensuring that students can accurately assign people to each of the four mutually exclusive primary clusters of behavior. Once officers have proven that they can make these observations, articulate the reason for objectively assigning a person to each cluster, and understand the "why" behind the assessments, these behaviors are then put into the context of the "officer ambush" to determine the significance of each behavior in relation to the risks that police officers face.

The "Tactical Sense-making" portion of the course expands on the behaviors taught on the first day to include all four pillars of observable behaviors. Officers learn how to establish an all-encompassing baseline for operational areas using a deliberate, systematic and repeatable process. Topics include:

• Overview of Officer Ambushes and Terrorist Attacks

• The Behavioral Analysis Approach to Threat Recognition

• Variables and Constant Elements of Violent Acts

• Identifying Threat Specific Behaviors

• Assessing and Improving Situational Awareness

• Interpreting Individual Gestures, Postures and Expressions

• Building and Observing Clusters of Cues

• Why Attackers Close the Distance to their Targets

• Learning and Building Behavioral File Folders

• Principals for Assessing Groups of People

• Determining Positive and Negative Atmospherics

• Baseline Templates for Anticipated Situations & Environments

• Recognition Primed Decision-Making (RPD)

• Adapting to Changing Criminal Tactics and Techniques

Instructor: Patrick Van Horne is Co-founder and CEO of The CP Journal and co-author of the book, "Left of Bang: How the Marine Corps' Combat Hunter Program Can Save Your Life." The CP Journal is a Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) that provides training to the military, law enforcement, and private security industry in behavioral analysis and threat recognition.

Patrick served for seven years in the United States Marine Corps, progressing to the rank of Captain. While on active duty, he served as a Platoon Commander and Company Executive Officer with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, Fourth Marines, as well as serving as a Company Commander with 1st Marine Regiment. Through his two deployments to Iraq, he saw first-hand the importance of strong leadership and effective training for the members of our military as they prepare for deployment.

Following his time as a Company Commander, he became the Officer-in-Charge of a Mobile Training Team at the School of Infantry at Camp Pendleton, providing training to deploying Infantry battalions and regiments in the Combat Hunter Program. It was in this command that he was first exposed to Combat Profiling and human behavioral analysis.

A.R.I.D.E. Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement

Frankfort Police Department, 20602 Lincoln-Way Lane, Frankfort, IL 60423

Thursday & Friday; October 5 & 6, 2017 8:00 am till 4:00 pm

This course complies with the guidelines of the following mandate(s): Civil Rights | Constitutional & Proper Use of LE Authority | Human Rights | Legal Updates

Course Description: The Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) program was

developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with input from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) and the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police. ARIDE was created to address the gap in training between the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) Program.

This course will offer additional information to law enforcement officers on detecting impairment caused by more than just alcohol. Often law enforcement officers that have not received advanced or in-service training regarding drug impairment tend to not be able to identify these characteristics; therefore, they will release an impaired driver. Once an officer completes the training he/she will be more proficient with the 3 battery of tests (HGN, WAT, OLS), as well as a broader knowledge of drug impairment indicators. The law enforcement officer will also be more familiar with the DRE program and its function. This will facilitate better communication and transfer of critical roadside indicators of impairment to the evaluating DRE officer for a more complete and accurate assessment of the impairment.

ARIDE is a 16-hour training course taught by DRE instructors or SFST instructors who are also DREs. The training will be conducted under the control and approval of the DEC Program state coordinator. This course encompasses information and techniques for addressing the drug and alcohol impaired driving problem. The following topics are discussed and/or delivered in detail throughout the entire curriculum:

• Update of Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Battery • How drug impaired driving affects our community • SFST Proficiency Examination • Drugs in the human body and the impairing effects they may have • Seven categories of drugs identified by the DEC Program

• Additional sobriety tests that will provide an expanded knowledge of detection to law enforcement

• Provide an expanded knowledge of prosecuting drug impaired drivers to prosecutors and courts

Much of the classroom training is devoted to hands-on practice.

Instructor: Tony Lebron (Retired M/Sgt; Illinois State Police) will be the lead instructor.
