Ethical Leadership
Reserve Seat

“We look to leaders to be role models and assume the responsibility for both the good and bad ethical decisions." Every day, leaders must face and make complex ethical decisions. The decisions made and the methods utilized to make those decisions determine whether the decision maker is an ethical leader. Whether you lead a law enforcement agency, a bureau, a division, a small unit, or simply take an informal leadership role in your daily life, the issue of ethical leadership cannot be avoided. Ethical leaders ARE role models. They communicate the importance of ethical standards and of holding employees accountable for those standards. Perhaps even more importantly they create and nurture an ethical environment in which others work and function.

Suicide Investigation
Reserve Seat

"The are few who escape being touched by the tragedy of suicide in their lifetimes. Suicide is the eleventh leading cause of death in the United States, killing over 40,000 people each year compared to the 16,500 who are murdered. A suicide may be influenced by psychological, biological, or social factors as well as a combination of any of the three. Proving suicide can be a difficult task due to family denials, insurance concerns and lack of an adequate investigation. The course is designed to overcome these difficulties by presenting you with sound investigative procedures and recommendations to ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted."

Advanced Homicide Investigation
Reserve Seat

1This course will focus on equivocal death investigation and how to successfully resolve the most complex homicide cases. Lead investigator roles and responsibilities including administrative requirements and prosecutorial considerations will be identified. Advanced investigative techniques will be applied to investigative theory along with an emphasis on proper case management. The concepts of “linkage”, “linkage blindness”, “time and distance”, and “crime scene staging” will be explored. Crime scene reconstruction techniques and interrogation strategies for the homicide suspect will be taught. “Japanese” and “Dutch” law enforcement perspectives will be compared to United States law enforcement investigative methods and procedures. The importance of theme development during the homicide interview is another area of concentration. Child deaths, cold case investigations, and autoerotic deaths will be reviewed as well as the importance of recognizing “post offense behavior.” The importance of the neighborhood canvass, especially as related to the proper sequence of interviews to be conducted will also be examined. The conduct of death and homicide cases in hostile environments will be discussed. Common mistakes in homicide investigations and the need for an “investigative conference” will be identified. Lead development and the concept of “documentation dissection” will be explained through practical exercises. Several case studies will be evaluated to illustrate how complex homicide cases can be resolved.
