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. |

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. |

Detecting Deception
Reserve Seat
| This is NOT the Fogline class, Roadside Interview and Detecting Deception Roadside | This course will explore the various ways of determining when a witness, victim or suspect is not telling the truth, more importantly, not telling the whole truth.
The first part will cover the various techniques; statement analysis, kinesics (body language), behavioral analysis, and neurolinguestics, to not only determine if an individual is being deceptive, but how to overcome the deception and obtain admissions and confessions.
The second part will explore the various personality disorders most often seen in individuals who, more often than not, are involved in criminal behaviors (anti-social, narcissistic, borderline, paranoid, obsessive-compulsive) with a special emphasis on the criminal psychopath. These individuals pose a special challenge during an interview as their “disorders” make it easier to lie and often mask their stress of telling a lie.
