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. During his time in this job, he helped recreate the Combat Profiling instruction, and designed and led the Combat Hunter Trainer Course, a pilot course designed to make Marines into Combat Hunter Instructors.

Patrick led 350 Marines through a yearlong combat training and preparation program prior to their deployment. Designed long-term training plan for cross-functional teams from 9 diverse technical areas. He also led 40 Marines and served as Second-in-Command for 200 Marines through two deployments to Iraq. Coordinated all intelligence, operational, logistics, communication and training requirements across units. While teaching behavioral profiling to Marines he decided to create The CP Journal to provide students with the resources needed to continue learning about all that behavioral analysis had to offer.

Patrick graduated from Fordham University in 2014 with an M.B.A., with a marketing concentration. He graduated from Marist College in 2005 with a B.S. in Business Administration and a Minor in Accounting. He was selected to serve as a team captain on the Division 1 Lacrosse team, winning a conference championship and earning a spot in the 2005 NCAA Tournament in his senior year.

Patrick currently lives in Boulder, Colorado and actively supports the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund and Team Rubicon.

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 | 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.

Course Description: Not too many law enforcement professionals like the media these days. That’s understandable, but not helpful. Engagement with the media is inevitable; victory is only optional. LE professionals and their departments can win with the media; this one-day training program shows you how. You will learn how to deal with reporters in a wide range of circumstances from routine day-to-day inquiries to a full-blown critical incident (we study in-depth the Chicago Police Department’s officer-involved LaQuan MacDonald shooting.) This is practical training, not theoretical; what you learn will work for you on the street, right away. Topics include: meeting the 900-pound gorilla; the “DWI” Principle of successful media relations; taking back your share of the First Amendment; “feeding the animals”; don’t get stuck on stupid!; controlling the media at incident scenes; managing media relations and public relations when things get ugly; and much, much more. Students learn how to take charge of reporters rather than being victimized by them. Numerous videos illustrate key teaching points, informing and entertaining the class. You will learn valuable strategies and tactics, and you will have fun doing it! The bottom line: this training helps LE professionals become far more comfortable and effective with the media, teaches you useful media skills and controls, and enables you to enjoy better media relations and better public relations.

Who Should Attend: This training is not just for PIOs. All law enforcement decision-makers, supervisors, and/or subject-matter experts who expect contact with the media will benefit from this training. This includes police chiefs and deputy chiefs; sheriffs and undersheriffs; captains, lieutenants, sergeants, watch commanders, shift supervisors, on-scene incident commanders and public information officers.

Instructor: Rick Rosenthal is a nationally-recognized media relations trainer and consultant. His clients

The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation® Frankfort Police Department,

20602 Lincoln Way Lane, Frankfort, IL 60423 Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday; December 4, 5 & 6, 2017

8:00 am till 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 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.

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
