SUMMARY:Intensive Human Trafficking Training for Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Officers
DESCRIPTION:DCJS\, CASC and the VSP together are offering a free two-day training to both prosecutors and law enforcement on the Investigation and Prosecution of Human  Trafficking.  It will be held in Williamsburg at the Great Wolf Lodge from September 27 – 28\, 2023. \nThese types of  investigations and prosecutions are very unique.  They require a specific understanding of a nuanced and often misunderstood crime involving a comparatively new law.  Human trafficking cases often are multifaceted and require a complex investigative and prosecutorial skill set.  To effectively build this skill set\, it is imperative that stakeholders receive a solid foundational understanding of human trafficking.  Using a data driven approach\, this program provides practical\, effective training for law enforcement and prosecutors to promote best practices and outcomes in the response to human trafficking. \nThis program\, developed in partnership with the Human Trafficking Institute in Washington D.C.\, will increase the overall awareness and understanding of human trafficking and dispel common myths and misconceptions through the use of data.  Students will leave with an understanding and working knowledge of applicable laws\, as well as a greater ability to identify victims and to complete successful investigations and prosecutions.  A final goal will be to improve Virginia’s collaborative response to combatting this enormous issue. \nThe program is free.  Lodging for two nights (September 26th and 27th) will be provided\, if requested\, for attendees whose offices are more than twenty-five miles from the training site.  Free parking is available.  Breakfast and lunch will be provided free of charge both days. Dinner will be on your own and not reimbursed. Mileage is NOT covered and will be the attendee’s responsibility. \nSeats are limited.  By registering to attend\, you are agreeing to attend and participate in the entire two-day program.   CLE’s and PIC credits will be provided. \nClick here to register. \n

SUMMARY:Practical Intervention: Intervention Opportunities for Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Supervisors
DESCRIPTION:CASC is happy to announce that it will be hosting a brand-new training program\, entitled: \n“Practical Intervention: Intervention Opportunities for Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Supervisors.” \nThis two-day program will take place Monday and Tuesday\, October 16 and 17\, 2023. \nThis training is an updated and expanded version of a one-day program CASC offered in April\, called “Recognizing Opportunities for Intervention\,” that focused on police use of force and improving outcomes to protect officers and the community. The October program will be taught by two experienced law enforcement officers. Elliott Casey\, staff attorney for CASC\, will also present the law of regarding law enforcement use of force and self-defense. \nProsecutors and other law enforcement are equally welcome at this program\, which is free of charge.  Prosecutors are encouraged (but not required) to bring their law enforcement partners to this training. \nCASC will not be providing reimbursement for any expenses\, such as meals\, mileage\, or lodging.  Information about our courtesy hotel room block will be provided in the registration confirmation email. \nCourse Description \nUse of force events that are categorized as excessive are associated most strongly with an officer’s duty to intervene on behalf of a citizen\, but these events often represent only the final stage of intervention opportunities. This course takes a closer look at the officer and agency duty to intervene along a spectrum of intervention opportunities. An understanding of these opportunities by supervisors and prosecutors is essential\, as they have a moral obligation to engage in practices that position officers for success and to intervene well before the need to discipline or make a charging decision about an officer surfaces. Along with recognizing inappropriate dominance and aggression behaviors\, this course will help participants to: \n\nUnderstand how law enforcement activities often create the illusion of competence in a variety of knowledge\, skills\, and abilities.\nAppropriately analyze a citizen contact/use of force using BWC footage.\nRecognize different stages and conditions where intervention would be beneficial\, using body worn camera as a diagnostic tool.\nAppreciate how human factors impact decision making\, motor skills\, and memory for officers and suspects.\nIdentify officers who engage in a pattern of inappropriate dominance or aggressive behaviors during police-citizen encounters or within the agency.\nRecognize the need for unambiguous communication between prosecutors\, law enforcement supervision\, and line officers.\n\nThis course will use video of real-world events to discuss how the influences of an agency’s hiring practices\, training programs\, supervisors\, policies\, and unique work-group cultures can impact officer behaviors. \nThe instructors bring over 75 years of first-hand observations of organizational dynamics and a wealth of investigative\, internal affairs\, training\, legal\, and supervisory experience to this comprehensive discussion on the duty to intervene for prosecutors and law enforcement supervision. Healthier officers create healthier communities. Prosecutors and law enforcement leadership have the ability and duty to create healthier officers/agencies. \nPresenters: \nBrian N. O’Donnell retired as a Lieutenant with the City of Charlottesville\, Virginia\, Police Department. He worked in a variety of assignments to include: SWAT\, narcotics\, and as an FBI Task Force Officer. He has extensive supervisory and training experience and held duty assignments in patrol\, the Office of Professional Standards\, and the Training Bureau. \nO’Donnell has specialized training in use of force evaluation\, including the Advanced Specialist designation from the Force Science Institute. He is currently a part of the expert witness team for Eagle Security Group\, an adjunct professor for Piedmont Virginia Community College\, and Training Officer for the Augusta County Sheriff’s Dept. \nJohn Pittman is a retired FBI Special Agent John who began service in the Newark Division\, Garrett Mountain RA\, and primarily worked white collar crime cases.
