Course Description: This course is for individuals who have completed the 3-day seminar on The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation, and builds upon their knowledge of the Reid Technique.

Most unsuccessful interrogations are a result of the investigator’s inability to move the guilty suspect from one stage of the interrogation to the other. Reid has defined three distinct stages of the interrogation that may give the investigator problems:

1. Defiant stage: seven proven tactics to move suspects out of this stage

2. Neutral stage: four proven techniques to get the suspect to listen to the interrogator’s themes

3. Acceptance stage: three specific techniques that will dramatically increase admissions of guilt

People who commit crimes do so to fulfill certain needs. What needs were satisfied is based upon the case facts, evidence and results of the interview — types of needs that will be thoroughly discussed are:

• Real need crimes • Impulse need crimes • Esteem need crimes • Lifestyle need crimes

The Advanced Seminar will also address the following specific problem areas for some but not all interrogations:

• Juvenile interrogations

• Interrogation regarding guilty knowledge • Playing one suspect against another • Interrogation on multiple crimes

Course Instructor: This course will be taught by Instructors with John E. Reid and Associates, Inc.

Crash Investigation 1 Frankfort Police Department

20602 Lincoln-Way Lane, Frankfort, IL 60423 Monday- Friday, March 2 – 13, 2020


This course complies with the guidelines of the following mandate(s): Civil Rights |Law Updates | Constitutional & Proper Use of LE Authority | Lead Homicide Investigator

Course Description: In most jurisdictions, traffic crashes account for more lives lost, more injuries and more property damage than all criminal activity combined. To effectively implement crash prevention programs and improve quality of life, law enforcement agencies need to know the who, what, where, when and why of crash occurrence.

The moments immediately following a traffic crash are crucial, and only a well-trained crash investigator knows how to identify and collect the necessary information at the crash scene and to begin the interpretation of that evidence.

Crash investigators must work quickly and confidently to preserve significant physical results before the crash scene is altered or evidence disappears. They must anticipate what information will be needed for enforcing traffic laws, planning crash prevention programs and possible case litigation. In addition, they must properly document the at-scene information and evidence because once the scene is cleared, the evidence might be impossible to recover.

Crash Investigation 1, based on J. Stannard Baker's world-renowned text, Traffic Crash Investigation, is an in-depth study of the skills needed to systematically investigate a traffic crash. Techniques for recognizing and properly recording roadway and vehicle crash evidence are thoroughly presented. Students learn to take measurements and photographs of the crash scene and to create sketches and after-crash diagrams. Crash Investigation 1 also addresses how the collected data are used to reconstruct crashes. Finally, the use of electronic devices to collect and record at-scene data is also introduced.

Course Topics: • Preparation for traffic crash investigation • Information from and about people • Information from vehicles • Information from roads • Measuring and mapping the crash scene

• Photographing the crash scene and damaged vehicles • For this updated program, students will develop a new case study. Photographs and exhibits

have been updated, and classroom instruction now includes how the latest generation of vehicle electronics - including data recorders, traction and stability controls, multiple airbags, etc. - affect both the crash and the crash investigation

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

New Lenox Police Department 200 Veterans Parkway, New Lenox, IL. 60451 Tuesday- Wednesday; March 24 & 25, 2020


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.


*This course is grant funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation through the Police Traffic Services Training Project and administered by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board.
