Peer Support for Public Safety Agencies

Manteno Fire Department 13 S Walnut St; Manteno, IL 60950

Monday - Friday, October 22 - 26, 2018 8:00am – 4:00pm

Please note this course is intended for department members whose respective agencies currently have or are in the process of developing a Peer Support Team.

This course complies with the guidelines of the following mandate(s): Human Rights | Procedural Justice

Course Description: This 5 day, 40-hour program has been developed for entry-level

participants who have been chosen as peer support team members and is consistent with accepted industry standards, guidelines for peer support as proffered by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and reviews of other law enforcement programs and peer support as a discipline. Content is heavily influenced by previous experiences in peer support, crisis hotline training, and related behavioral sciences. The overall philosophy is that peer support comes from within the peer support team member, from his or her own experiences, and from the recognition of one's own feelings. This provides the starting point for understanding crisis, stress, suicide, bereavement, crisis communication skills, the model known as Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, boundaries, confidentiality, and other pertinent information to prepare the team member to intervene in a personal crisis and/or critical incident. Lecture, discussion, personal introspection, sharing and intense role-playing exercises are the methods generally utilized in this training. Critiques from over 500 past participants have supported this training as the definitive starting point for a peer support team member.

Topics to be addressed include: • What is peer support? • The Peer Intervention Model • The Nature of Crisis

• Crisis Communication Skills • DSM IV & the Relationship with Trauma • Understanding Suicide • Cynicism • Resiliency

• Setting Limits • Retirement Issues • Death & Dying

Lead Instructor: William Hogewood is a veteran of 49 years in law enforcement with Prince

The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation® Frankfort Police Department

20602 Lincoln Way Lane, Frankfort, IL 60423 Monday - Wednesday; December 3 - 5, 2018



Civil Rights | Constitutional & Proper Use of LE Authority | Lead Homicide Investigator | Legal Updates

Course Description: This is a twenty-one hour program on the Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation®. The course includes; interview and interrogation preparation, behavior symptoms, the Reid® Behavior Analysis Interview (B.A.I.) and “The Reid Nine Steps of Interrogation” which include:

Interview and Interrogation Preparation The style, appearance and approach of the successful interviewer and interrogator will be covered, as will the room settings conducive to these activities.

Behavior Symptoms Differences in verbal and nonverbal behavior between innocent and deceptive persons often can be observed, and are thus indicative of whether or not a suspect is telling the truth. A guilty suspect makes a conscious decision to resist your effort to get at the truth. In trying to maintain a structure of verbal lies, however, that suspect most often develops internal conflicts and tensions which manifest themselves in nonverbal behavior. Thus, body movements, facial expressions, eye contact, attitudes, posture and grooming gestures can indicate whether the subject is telling the truth or lying. Nonverbal indicators can also be used to determine whether the suspect under interrogation is listening, maintaining a defiant attitude or is ready to confess. You will learn how to observe and assess critical behavior symptoms and use those assessments to determine whether to move on to the next step of the interrogation.

Reid®” Behavioral Analysis Interview “(B.A.I.) The information developed through use of the standard investigative questions of “who,” “what,” “when” and “how” is often not adequate — even in combination with physical evidence — to identify the wrongdoer. The Reid Behavioral Analysis Interview is a technique that uses a structured set of non-accusatory behavior-provoking questions developed as a result of many thousands of interviews. The B.A.I. makes it easier to determine whether the suspect is telling the truth about involvement in the matter under investigation, and is flexible enough to be used in cases ranging from employee theft to homicide. The Reid Nine Steps of Interrogation® The nine-step approach to a successful interrogation has been developed by John E. Reid and Associates through extensive research and practical experience over a period of 60 years. Because of the subject’s importance, approximately half the classroom time in the seminar is devoted to the interrogation process and detailed examination of each of the nine steps.

John Reid and Associates will provide the instructor for this class.

8:00 am to 3:00 pm

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

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.

In addition to general explosive recognition, the specifics and differences of consumer fireworks (1.4) vs. professional grade fireworks (1.3G) and the laws that pertain to them will be discussed in great detail. This class is being provided by the IDNR to help educate law enforcement and to provide direct assistance, on scene, when dealing with explosive situations. The IDNR regulates / investigates high and low explosives including 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5. Too many times law enforcement does not have the education to know how to identify an explosive and/or if a bomb squad needs to be called. Bomb Squads, Explosives Breaching SWAT Teams, and BOMB Dog Handlers already possess the IL Individual Explosives License. The IDNR must be notified immediately upon any recovery of a regulated explosive and/or device to pursue the information necessary for enforcement. If the Officer and their respective department so desire; after completing the class and passing the exam they can receive an IL IDNR Individual Explosives License, to be used in association with their law enforcement duties. A random monthly bank of test questions will administered at the end of the class which will consist of 50 questions that will be multiple choice and/or True-False. Each officer receiving the license will fill out an application and must pass the test with an 80% or higher. Officers who do not pass the test will be provided an opportunity to retest in the near future.

➢ Licensing is recommended but not required to attend.

There are eight chapters covered in the presentation and each officer will be provided a packet of information from the IDNR consisting of a copy of the IL Explosives Act, the Admin Codes that Apply to the Act, a general explosives safety packet, a packet for note taking as the presentation is given, and a small 4-page packet for officers to keep available as a quick reference guide for explosive identification purposes, while on duty.

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

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

Tuesday & Wednesday; December 11 & 12, 2018 8:00 am till 4:00 pm


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.

Member Tuition: None* Non-Member Tuition: None*

*If approve, 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.
