The Adaptive FTO’s Cognitive Coaching philosophy assists the trainee in retention and learning. The Adaptive FTO will create a developmental framework and tools for training the future of your organization.
You will leave this class as a stronger FTO by learning:
✒ How Emotional Intelligence creates resilient, compassionate and respectful police officers.
✒ The Legal and Ethical Decision Making Model.
✒ Develop the critical thinking skills in the trainee.
✒ The generation proof Adaptive Feedback Model.
✒ A growth mindset, cognitive coaching strategy for developing insight and sensemaking.
✒ To use failure and mistakes as method to create new knowledge.
✒ Decision making skills addressing de-escalation, implicit bias and procedural justice.

COMPUTER VOICE STRESS ANALYZER (CVSA®)
Certified Examiners Course: February 24 – 28, 2020
Recertification: February 25 – 27, 2020 (required every 2 years)
NITV Federal Services (NFS) conducts a five-day intensive, hands-on instruction in the application of the patented Computer Voice Stress Analyzer® – a noninvasive investigational tool that detects, measures, and graphically displays specific stress-related components when speaking through of a microphone to uncover deceptive and non-deceptive responses to yes/no questions.
When utilized in conjunction with our interviewing and interrogation methods, including the widely acclaimed Defense Barrier Removal® (DBR®) techniques the CVSA® has proven invaluable in obtaining
confessions as well as pre-employment screenings and clearing suspects. Similarly, the CVSA is used in Covert Operations to analyze telephone recordings. Unlike the polygraph, there are no wire hookups on the subject, and drugs do not affect the test results. Likewise, there are no known
counter-measures to cause an “inconclusive” result. The CVSA instrument has proven instrumental in all investigative divisions: Homicide, Domestic Violence, Robbery, Narcotics, ICAC, Fraud, Special Victims Unit, Internal Affairs, Pre-Employment and Background Investigations.

House of Worship Training
2020-03-12 09:00 - 16:00 | Loveland Police Department, 126 S Lebanon Rd, Loveland, OH, 45140, United States
-ACTIVE AGGRESSOR (SHOOTER) IN PLACES OF WORSHIP
Houses of Worship can be extremely vulnerable to active shooter attacks because of their location, population, and open door mentality. There are certain steps the leadership team can take to minimize the risk of being involved in an active shooter incident and this training will not only cover those steps, but will also cover best practices to survive these types of incidents.
OTHER CRIMES IN PLACES OF WORSHIP – AN “ALL HAZARDS APPROACH”
In addition to active shooter/threat incidents, there is a growing number of property crimes
being committed against Houses of Worship, especially theft of funds, burglary, arson, and vandalism. Even more disturbing, House of Worship members and staff are just as vulnerable to occurrences of personal and physical abuse as any other location. Those intent on victimizing the vulnerable know that the forgiving culture and easy access environment of the House of Worship can inadvertently foster an opportune place to strike.
House of Worship leaders have the responsibility to conscientiously screen candidates, set boundaries, maintain an atmosphere of ethical behavior, and sustain a safe overall environment that is a hallmark of the House of Worship as a place of refuge and peace.
TRAINING PRESENTATION
Our presentation will cover topics to educate members, staff, leadership, and clergy on how to protect people and property; preventing accidents, injury, and neglect, safeguarding against loss from crime and theft of funds, protecting members and staff from abuse, liability, false claims, and lawsuits. Protection of those entrusted to your care is a key element of a House of Worship. Taking these additional, proactive steps will especially demonstrate your care and concern for the members, staff, and guests in your facility.
WHY ATTEND THIS CLASS
This training course is designed to inform and educate those responsible for maintaining a safe environment for the people and property associated with churches, chapels, synagogues, temples, mosques, or any other place of worship we reverently call a House of Worship. This course will assist in helping House of Worship leaders to learn how to prevent, avoid, and control various risks associated with the members, staff, guests, and buildings that make up your House of Worship. Fortunately, most of the crime mentioned above are preventable!
FBI statistics reveal that property crimes listed above are the primary ones that are costing Houses of Worship nearly 500 Million Dollars in lost funds and insurance costs, not to mention the loss of parishioners.

Crisis Intervention Team Training is 40-hours of comprehensive training to increase skills in relating to individuals with mental illness. Training emphasizes behavioral health-related topics, access to community-based services, de-escalation tactics, and crisis resolution skills. Training format consists of didactics/lectures, on-site visitation and exposure to several behavioral health facilities, intensive interaction with individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders, and scenario-based de-escalation training. Experience has shown this is a minimum level of training hours. Materials covered are complex. Far beyond simple cognitive retention of the material, the desired learning outcome for this training is the adoption and retention of behavioral changes.

FBI Law Enforcement Executive Training
2020-10-04 08:00 - 2020-10-09 17:00 | Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, 2026 Lockport Road, Niagara Falls, NY, United States
LAW ENFORCEMENT EXECUTIVE TRAINING
Great Lakes Leadership Seminar – Session 23
Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station
2026 Lockport Road Niagara Falls, New York
October 4-9, 2020
The Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh Divisions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will be hosting a Regional Command College in Niagara Falls, New York from October 4-9, 2020. This will be the twenty-third annual session of the Great Lakes Leadership Seminar (GLLS).
Officers in the rank of Lieutenant and above, or their agency’s equivalent, are eligible for attendance. Depending on openings, and subject to the recommendations of their agency’s chain of command, Sergeants may also, on occasion, attend this seminar. The training is modeled after the FBI’s Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar (LEEDS), which is held at the FBI Academy. Their primary audience is Law Enforcement Executives.
The training will cover a variety of issues affecting law enforcement leaders today. Areas covered will include active shooter response, officer wellness, media engagement, implicit bias, and other subjects important to the interaction of executives and their rank and file officers. Instructors for the session are drawn from the FBI’s Academy located at Quantico, Virginia and other subject matter experts from throughout the region.
Liaison is an important goal of the seminar. Attendees must report no later than 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 4 for registration. Classes will be held daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Attendance at all scheduled classes and instructional programs is considered mandatory, unless there is an emergency.
Attendees will be selected from the Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo FBI territories. This year’s session size is limited to a total of eighty (80) law enforcement executives, 20 from each territory’s AOR, in order to facilitate interaction between those attending, instructors, and FBI management present that week. Your selection to attend the GLLS will not preclude you from future attendance at the FBI National Academy.
The FBI does not normally charge for training; however, due to the inherent costs associated with this program, a fee of $375 is being charged per executive attending. This registration fee covers non-FBI instructor/presenter fees, instructional materials, and other administrative costs necessary to run the seminar. Additionally, the registration fee will also cover each attendee’s daily breakfast, lunch, refreshments, and a formal banquet dinner on Thursday evening. Payment will be addressed once attendees are selected.
If a selected attendee can no longer attend the seminar, your department can submit an application for another officer of equal or higher rank. Priority consideration will be given to your department; however final selection is made by the FBI. If the spot cannot be filled, your department may not receive a refund of the course fee.
We have arranged lodging within the Air Reserve Base at a hotel facility immediately adjacent to the training center. Lodging cost (approximately $77 per room nightly) is the responsibility of each attendee/department. Payment to the hotel will be required for lodging upon check-in.
The GLLS provides a great training and liaison opportunity for law enforcement executives from the Great Lakes region. The 2020 seminar is sponsored by the FBI Pittsburgh Division with full support from the Cincinnati, Buffalo, and Cleveland offices.
If you have any questions, contact Special Agent Michelle Pirtle, or Training and Civic Liaison Tyler Morris.
Applications will be accepted until August 3, 2020.

Use Of Force Instructor
2020-10-06 08:00 - 17:00 | Great Oaks Public Safety Services, 200 Scarlet Oaks Dr, Cincinnati, OH, 45241, United States
Recurring in both mainstream media outlets, as well as social media
platforms, is the topic of police use-of-force. The Safariland Use-of-Force
Instructor Course is the most comprehensive method for understanding
and teaching use-of-force. This training will familiarize attendees with the
pertinent Use-of-Force case law and demonstrates how it relates to policy,
training and actual “street” applications. Along with learning the skills to
teach use-of-force, participants will be shown how to assist in use-offorce
policy writing and/or review force-related report writing and assist
agencies in defending use-of-force cases in the courtroom.
COURSE OVERVIEW
This course incorporates lecture, video and classroom discussion into
the training. The curriculum focuses on Graham vs. Connor and utilizes
additional recent court cases to gain better understanding of what officers
are allowed to do based on the actions of the subject. The instructors have
designed this course to create the most comprehensive look at police
use-of-force.
This course will examine:
• How did the Graham vs. Connor Supreme Court decision assist law enforcement?
• Use-of-Force Model: Is it still a useful teaching tool?
• What can we do to make Use-of-Force training truly beneficial for
our officers?
• What can we do to make our officers SAFER using the proper teaching tools and tactics?
• What does it take to become a Use-of-Force expert?
COURSE BENEFITS
This course is taught by cops who understand Police Use-of-Force and
have been recognized as subject matter experts. They have taught, utilized
and testified at all force-related levels and will prepare attendees to be
their department Use-of-Force “EXPERT.”
Attendees will:
• Receive a thorough understanding of “Graham vs. Connors”
• Learn to teach officers how to “recognize increases in risk”
• Be the one to prepare your officers to “win” every arrest encounter and be able to justify the “reasonable” force used
