Force Science Basics * (Two-Day Program)

Plainfield Fire Protection District (Headquarters)

23748 W. 135th Street; Plainfield, IL 60544 Wednesday & Thursday, September 7 & 8, 2016

8:30 am till 4:30 pm

Course Description: This program, created and instructed exclusively by the Force Science Institute, is designed to clearly present, in a practical and understandable fashion, the results of the most cutting edge research into the dynamics of human behavior during life-threatening encounters.

The class will explore Force Science, the application of unbiased scientific principles and processes in repetitive physical experiments designed to determine the true nature of suspect provocation and officer response (action-reaction dynamics). The goal of the program is to encourage law enforcement professionals to apply the important concepts revealed in this research when investigating, reconstructing, recalling or otherwise analyzing a use of force. The integration of this information has been proven to enhance the accuracy and thoroughness of decisions made relative to behavior and performance during the incident. The Force Science Institute uses sophisticated time-and-motion measurements to document—often for the first time—critical hidden truths about the physical and mental dynamics of life-threatening events, particularly officer-involved shootings. Its startling findings profoundly impact officer training and safety, and the public’s naive perceptions. In fact, the Institute’s findings have been directly credited with saving officer lives on the street and with preventing some officers from going to prison after being wrongly accused of criminally using deadly force.

Force Science researchers have destroyed myths and discovered cold facts about some of the most controversial force issues, including:

How threatening suspects end up shot in the back by well-trained officers making valid, lawful shooting decisions.

Why officers continue to fire “extra” rounds in high-adrenalin confrontations after the threat has ended.

How to best analyze video footage of force encounters and things you need to know about limitations of cameras that must be considered during investigations.

What popular tactics used by some officers trying to reduce lag time actually put the officers at greater risk.

How perceptual alterations and stress-induced memory gaps can impact an officer’s ability to accurately recall incident details.

How quickly suspects can launch an attack and why officers and trainers must take Force Science speed studies into account when preparing for a confrontation.

How investigators can best “mine” officers’ memories and avoid interviewing mistakes that can put the officer, the investigator and the entire department in jeopardy.

What the most recent Force Science studies have to say about traffic stop assault response and officer movement, threats posed by prone subjects, the impact of exhaustion on officer memory and performance and more.

No tuition* for members of Tri-River Police Training and/or the Will-Grundy Major Crimes Task Force.

Registration from Non-Members are not being accepted at this time.

*Initial registration will be restricted to officers assigned to the WGMCTF. Others will be added to a wait list and notified of enrollment as space allows.

Tactical Analysis Program “Tactical Awareness and Threat Recognition”

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

Monday & Tuesday, October 3 & 4, 2016 8:00 am till 4:00 pm

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

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 in order 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.

Tactical Field Interviewing New Lenox Police Department

200 Veterans Parkway, New Lenox, IL 60451 Thursday & Friday, October 6 & 7, 2016

8:00 am – 4:00 pm The subject matter of this course falls within the key training guidelines for the in-service

training requirements for Lead Homicide Investigator.

Course Description: The 2-day Wicklander-Zulawski (WZ) Seminar on Tactical Field Interviewing is designed to teach and reinforce the sound fundamentals of the field interviewing process for the patrol officer, field investigator, detective, police officer, special agent, or other law enforcement professional. Course participants learn a broad range of cutting-edge methods and proprietary tools to conduct more effective interviews and interrogations in their terrorism-related investigations that will result in more actionable intelligence, quicker admissions and better statements.

Instruction includes a comprehensive overview of non-confrontational interviewing methods to overcome the resistance of a traditional criminal or terrorist operative. Attendees will learn to assess verbal and non-verbal behavior, offer rationalizations, handle denials, detect deception and evaluate truthfulness. This course will enhance communication, interview and interrogation skills for a more focused and successful investigation of terrorist activities.

The non-confrontational approach to field interviewing has been recognized for the way it produces faster and more accurate results. In many cases, admissions are achieved without the suspect ever making a denial or protesting his innocence. Additionally, suspects often reveal more about their activities than during a traditional confrontational interrogation approach. The multiple strategies taught in this class provide flexibility to alter interviewing strategies depending on the reaction of the suspect. Simply said, if one method is not working, the investigator has additional techniques to utilize.

COURSE OBJECTIVES: After completing this course of instruction the participant will be able to: • Understand the law on criminal interviews and interrogations and the development of the admission

into legally acceptable confessions. • Interpret and evaluate the suspect’s verbal and physical behavior as they relate to truth and

deception during field interviews. • Apply factual analysis to the interviewing process. • Assist subjects in recalling events and details of past activity. • Employ non-accusatory interview techniques to obtain information and detect subject’s truthfulness. • Enhance their skills to effectively investigate ongoing, organized drug trafficking, money laundering,

terrorist financing, and other financial transactions suggestive of criminal activity. • Uncover patterns, trends and correlation indicative of money laundering or other criminal activity.

Instructor: John J. Guzman CFI®, before retiring from the Chicago Police Department was a member of the elite Special Operations Group and Gang Crime Unit.

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

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

Tuesday & Wednesday, November 15 & 16, 2016 8:00 am till 4:00 pm

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.

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

20602 Lincoln Way Lane, Frankfort, IL 60423 Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, December 12, 13 & 14, 2016



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 The subject matter of this course falls within the key training guidelines for

the in-service training requirements for Lead Homicide Investigator.

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
