SafeEncounters® Autism Awareness for Law Enforcement
2022-08-05 08:00 - 12:00 | Great Oaks Public Safety Services, 200 Scarlet Oaks Dr, Cincinnati, OH, 45241, United States
Presented by: Pamela Goines, MEd., and Thomas Goines, owners, SafeEncounters® Training
Pamela & Thomas are both proud parents of a son with Autism. Pamela is an advocate, special educator, college administrator, author, and most importantly, a fellow citizen wanting to work with law enforcement to ensure SafeEncounters® for all. They are associates of the New Horizon Center for Autism Services. Pamela’s own positive encounters with law enforcement officers inspired her to bring this training to the police community to strengthen the relationship between officers and individuals with Autism. Pamela wrote the book, “Autistic ….and Thriving” with a chapter devoted to improving encounters between law enforcement and Autistic individuals in their communities. Participants will receive a copy of this book.
Course Description: The CDC estimates 5.4 million Americans have some form of Autism: about 1 in every 54 children born will have Autism. Autism is a neurological, developmental disability that can affect behavior, social interaction, communication and sensory processing. Each person with Autism has unique challenges and strengths. If an officer were to stop a person with Autism that has a social communication challenge, that officer will need information on how to safely and effectively engage and communicate. This class will teach the fundamentals of what is Autism, what is the person with Autism doing, and how can officers recognize it and respond effectively to it. SafeEncounters® Training will equip your officers with tools, tips, and strategies designed to enable them to more effectively engage with persons with Autism. Officers will be partnered with individuals with Autism in a safe environment where both will experience the learning process through active engagement.
“Our vision is that through this training officers will greatly improve community engagement and enhance communication with Autistic individuals while reducing the risk of encounters resulting in unintended consequences due to lack of understanding.” PG & TG
Sworn Ohio Officers who attend will receive four (4) hours of Continuing
Professional Training (CPT) credits through OPOTA/C. Approval #CPT106

Course Objectives:
The pure essence of Leadership is influence and everyone has the power to increase theirs. One of the challenges during times like these is understanding the fundamental principles of ethical influence. A huge part of becoming a leader and assuming a leadership position is figuring out where you are with those you are commissioned to lead and shifting our focus to recognizing their potential. Stepping into a new leadership role can offer many new demands. At times new positions come with limited exposure to proven principles to maximize the leader dealing with these new set of demands. It is Darryl’s hope to share some definitive principles accompanied with real life application to help in day-to-day operations that the supervisor’s role entails.
Participants will be exposed to the following principles and discussions:
• Why does the world need leaders?
• The difference in supervisory roles and leadership roles
• Legal Authority/Departmental Authority versus Moral Authority
• Proper work/life balance
• The importance of an evaluations system
• Media Relations
• Definitive steps to increase your leadership influence.
Other topics include:
Leaders First Priority: Define Reality!
Dealing with Criticism: If you can’t avoid it, you have to learn deal with it.
Defining Moments in Leadership: When they show up, you Need to.
A Leadership Atmosphere: How to create and maintain it.
Every Leaders common Mistake: Acknowledge it or repeat it.
What Separates Leaders from Great Leaders: Good Leaders Are good talkers. Great leaders are good listeners.
Every Leaders Best Teacher: It is not experience.
Questions every Leader should ask: Where are you?
Dealing with Challenging People: because good leaders need to master it.

Drug Investigations for Street Officers and New Drug Investigators
2022-11-14 08:00 - 2022-11-16 17:00 | Golf Manor Police Department, 6450 Wiehe Road, Cincinnati, OH, 45237, United States
Who Should Attend:
This course was developed to assist officers new to conducting drug investigations, or as a refresher for officers returning to drug units, who want to become familiar with drug investigations and current trends.
Course Objectives:
The course is designed to assist in providing a solid foundation of investigative techniques from which officers can safely and ethically conduct drug investigations. Officers are given current and relevant information on Drug Identification, Informant Handling, Consent Searches, Operations Planning, and Controlled Purchases. Policies and procedures differ from agency to agency and this presentation is a general overview, created to not conflict with your department operating guidelines in drug investigations.
Basic Drug Identification and Trends
Topics include the identification of illicit street drugs, common terms, nomenclature, prices, weights, clandestine lab, and the Uniformed Controlled Substance Act. The physiological effects of illicit drugs will also be covered. Officers will also discuss current local and national drug trends.
Intelligence Gathering
Officers will learn what information sources are available to them and how to use that information to initiate proactive drug investigations.
Operations Planning
Officers will be instructed on the safe planning of operations such as covert surveillance, controlled purchases and raids. Topics such as de-confliction and operational secrecy /security will also be covered.
Voluntary Consent Searches
An often misunderstood and under-utilized tool by drug investigators, consent searches can be the start or finish of many successful cases. This course will cover proven, legal and ethical techniques used to successfully conduct consensual encounters.
Confidential Informant Handling
The use of Confidential Informants, although a powerful tool in drug investigations, can quickly become a liability to the case. Officers will be instructed on the proper and ethical handling of informants, the varying motivations, and the risks associated with the use of informants.
Controlled Purchases
Officers will be instructed on the basic mechanics of a safe and ethical controlled purchase of illicit drugs. Officers will learn the hazards associated with controlled purchases, the advantages and disadvantages of using an undercover officer.
Case Study
A variety of actual narcotic cases will be broken down step-by-step from the initial stages through to prosecution.
Court Preparation
In the last several years there has been a shift in which juries, judges and prosecutors view drug investigations, the credibility of informants and the “CSI” effect on evidence. Officers will be instructed on the importance of accurate and ethical documentation, testimony and evidence presentation.

Forensic Investigation w/Death Investigation & Photography
2023-03-13 08:00 - 2023-03-17 17:00 | Blue Ash Fire Department, 10647 Kenwood Road, Blue Ash, OH, 45242, United States
With the cooperation of the Blue Ash Police Department Sirchie is offering its comprehensive hands-on Forensic Investigation Training at the Blue Ash Fire Department (North Station).
This 5-day course covers state-of-the-art methods of identifying, recording, processing and preserving various types of evidence found at the scene of the crime. The program is geared for Hands-on use of equipment, materials and supplies necessary for a thorough and comprehensive forensic investigation mission.
CURRICULUM
Forensic Investigation (Evidence Discovery, Collection, Processing & Preservation)
The goals and objectives of the Crime Scene Investigator is the collection, preservation, packaging, transportation, and documentation of physical evidence left at the crime scene. With this evidence, a connection can be made between the victim, the scene, and the perpetrator of the crime. The base goal of this course is establishing methods and best practices for assessing, developing, collecting, and preserving the physical evidence. Attendees learn proper set-up and crime scene documentation including photography and evidence marking / identification. Through lecture and practical exercises, proper methods are taught for discovery and lifting of latent fingerprints using powders, applicators, tape, chemicals, and other tools. Footprint and footwear evidence, often overlooked, is reviewed and methods for search and recovery are taught. Discovery and sampling of biological evidence, so critical in today’s forensic investigations for its DNA content, is reviewed with practical exercises with best practices for collection and preservation. Attendees also learn the proper packaging and preservation of various types of evidence, including bagging, boxing, labeling, and other methods. The course covers the forensic toolbox and the factors that lead to choosing certain methods.
• Crime scene documentation: photography, marking, logging
• Evidence collection: types, proper packaging, documentation
• Latent print development: fingerprint powders, applicators, chemicals, lifting devices
• Biological fluids including blood: search, discovery, testing, sampling
• Footwear impressions: search, development, collection
Death Investigation (Documenting and Collecting Key Evidence from Scene to Autopsy)
With only approximately 60% of the 20,000+ murders occurring annually being “solved”, and many times that number of equivocal deaths requiring an investigation by law enforcement, this module (block of instruction?) is designed to provide the necessary knowledge to resolve even the most complex death investigations, including child, elderly, asphyxia, fire, firearms, fall, crushing, thermal, high velocity, motor vehicle, and sharp and blunt force deaths.
Attendees receive a block of instruction on forensic pathology, the Coroner and Medical Examiner Systems, manner, cause, and mechanism of death. Autopsy and medicolegal death terminology are explained including nuances between a laceration and incise wound, various blunt force trauma including differing types of fractures, and common causes for each type of wound. Firearms injuries are explored and explained including the differences in distances that can help determine whether a witness’s account is truthful or not. Time of death and post-mortem interval and other forensic concepts are discussed throughout the course.
Forensic anthropology and entomology instruction are included as it pertains to identification of found remains, skeletal trauma identification, grave recovery, and what insect activity must be observed and documented for a proper review by the forensic anthropologist and entomologist.
Advanced Photography (Forensic Investigation Techniques including ALS, UV and IR)
Photography is used to document most crime scenes today, yet only the most basic techniques are sometimes utilized missing possible key evidence or not providing the true story of the crime scene or evidence. Moving beyond this, attendees of this instruction module learn how to properly document in the preferred – manual mode, and learn to control the exposure triangle in various situations using techniques that reveal evidence once hidden. Utilizing the triangle, dark scenes, shadows, and bright ambient light can all be overcome with specific techniques to show the scene as the investigator sees it.
Attendees through hands on exercises using DSLR cameras and various lenses combined with filters explore various lighting possibilities, using a variety of alternate light sources and filters to build contrast and reveal pattern evidence. Light sources outside the visible spectrum, such as ultra-violet and infrared, reveal body fluids and pattern evidence of gun shot residue and bodily fluids not visible to the naked eye. The camera is shown to be a tool to gather much more evidence than can be seen or documented with any other method.
