Sex offenders have a unique set of issues and motives that impact whether or not they will offend. This course will focus on the psychology of sex offenders and how it can impact a criminal investigation.
We will dispel the common myths of sex offenders in order to see more realistic ways in which they offend. Investigators will find the information useful for ruling out or ruling in potential suspects that may have not been considered before. The class will also familiarize the law enforcement officer with risk factors that may change over time with a particular sex offender, therefore making them more or less likely to offend.
Sex crime detectives and supervision officers with registered sex offenders on their caseload will be able to identify features in the registrants’ lives that may put them at higher risk for re-offense. The effectiveness of residency restrictions and their effects on public safety will also be discussed. Overall, the course will include information on adult male sex offenders, as well as female offenders, juvenile offenders, and offenders who are developmentally delayed.

Terror From Within: Neutralizing The Threat Of School Violence
Essential for all police, security officers and educators (both staff and faculty) to properly understand the nature of the threat and take actions needed to neutralize and prevent a major incident at their facility, this seminar provides an innovative curriculum on the cutting edge analyzing numerous cases to identify the operational cycle of previous school attacks, and the indicators that were present but often ignored or overlooked.
Most schools are not geared to detect a threat, but rather, simply react to the threat when it comes. Pre-Incident Indicators can be identified by ALL members of the staff as well as security and law enforcement professionals. Even students and parents can contribute to the effort in making schools safe. Understanding the cycles of violence and preparation of violence will aid schools in developing policies and procedures to identify, detect and interdict violent incidents before they might occur.
This course is geared towards all levels of the educational system. It provides a constructivist format which can easily promote open discussion amongst police, administrators and even concerned parents allowing for a bilateral understanding of the threat and the measures to take in neutralizing the threat.
