SUMMARY:Basic Death and Homicide Investigations
DESCRIPTION:Instructor:\nMichael Chavez \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Basic Death and Homicide Investigations\nSeptember 14 @ 8:00 am – September 16 @ 4:00 pm\nRegistration deadline extended!\nThis comprehensive course provides step-by-step instruction on the proper initial response to major crimes or death scenes\, with an emphasis on preserving the scene and thorough documentation. Students will develop the foundational skills necessary to conduct a complete and legally sound investigation\, regardless of whether a crime has occurred. Through a detailed exploration of death types\, investigative indicators\, and local protocols\, participants will be better prepared to handle complex cases. The course also covers evidence handling\, witness interaction\, and collaboration during the autopsy process. \nThis course is designed specifically for the front line first-responder to potentially suspicious death investigations and new detectives that seek to gain additional insight into complicated death scenes. \nCourse Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the death process and differentiate between various types of deaths.\nRecognize investigative indicators and apply local protocols in death investigations.\nProperly identify\, preserve\, and collect physical evidence at a scene.\nLocate and interview witnesses effectively to gather critical information.\nComprehend the autopsy process and its role in determining cause and manner of death.\n\nEquipment Needed: \n\nNone

SUMMARY:Comprehensive Background Investigations
DESCRIPTION:Instructor:\nTim Jones \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Comprehensive Background Investigations\nSeptember 21 @ 8:00 am – 12:00 pm *NEW TIME!*\nRegistration deadline extended!\nThis comprehensive course equips law enforcement professionals and hiring personnel with the essential knowledge and skills to conduct thorough\, legally sound background investigations for police candidates. Participants will explore the purpose and legal framework governing background checks\, and learn to navigate standard procedures\, documentation\, and investigative techniques. The course emphasizes identifying red flags and disqualifying factors\, with a special focus on analyzing social media content and recognizing problematic online behavior. Learners will gain practical experience in compiling background findings into professional\, ethical\, and legally defensible reports. By the end of the course\, participants will be prepared to conduct high-quality investigations that uphold the integrity of the hiring process and public trust. \nCourse Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the purpose and legal framework.\nOutline standard procedures\, documents & techniques.\nIdentify red flags and disqualifying factors.\nCompare & contrast the intricacies of investigating social media content.\nIdentify problematic online behavior.\nUnderstand additional intricacies of investigating certified officers.\nCompile background findings into a legal and ethical document.\n\nEquipment Needed: \n\nLaptop

SUMMARY:Forensic Video Evidence & Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Instructor:\nHaley Fleming \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Forensic Video Evidence & Analysis\nSeptember 23 @ 8:00 am – 4:00 pm\nRegistration deadline extended!\nForensic Video Analysis is far more than simply pressing play. Nearly every investigation (criminal\, civil\, use-of-force\, traffic\, etcetera) today involves some form of digital video—from surveillance systems and body-worn cameras to dash cameras and cell phones—but these recordings are not always a complete or perfectly accurate representation of what occurred. Understanding how video is created\, compressed\, stored\, and played back is essential to evaluating its evidentiary value and recognizing its limitations. \nThis presentation provides a practical introduction to the principles of forensic video analysis and the technology behind digital video evidence. Attendees will learn how compression\, frame structure\, frame rates\, synchronization\, and playback can influence what appears on screen\, and when specialized forensic analysis may be warranted. Through real-world examples\, participants will gain a stronger understanding of how to critically evaluate video evidence and make more informed decisions throughout the investigative and judicial process. \nAdditionally\, attendees will undergo training in video analysis; the “breakdown” and explanation of an incident captured on video recording. This portion includes timing (based on 1/1000 of a second) and explaining movement within the video. This portion will have a concentrated segment on use-of-force incidents. \nIf you have heard statements such as: “the video doesn’t lie” -or- “let the video speak for itself”. Then this training is right for you. \nCourse Objectives: \n\n\nDifferentiate between types of video recording frames (e.g.\, I-frames\, P-frames\, and B-frames in temporal compression) and explain how frame structure affects the spatial and temporal fidelity of recorded crash evidence.\n\n\nCalculate precise real-time event durations and vehicle change-in-position by evaluating variable vs. constant frame rates (VFR vs. CFR)\, time-stamp data\, and container timing discrepancies.\n\n\nDistinguish between genuine physical evidence and non-authentic visual artifacts\, analyzing optical and encoding phenomena such as compression macro blocking\, rolling shutter skew\, interlacing\, lens distortion\, and ghosting.\n\n\nIdentify and evaluate critical real-world occurrences not captured by video evidence—such as blind spots\, sub-frame transient events (inter-frame occurrences)\, sensor clipping\, dynamic range loss\, and low-light visual omission.\n\n\nFormulate objective\, scientifically defensible expert testimony that identifies\, contextualizes\, and refutes common video-related cognitive and perceptual fallacies (such as the “camera never lies” fallacy\, perspective distortion\, and inappropriate speed estimations derived from uncalibrated footage).\n\n\nEquipment Needed: \n\nLaptop (recommended\, not required)\nNote taking materials are recommended

SUMMARY:Science Based Interview & Interrogation
DESCRIPTION:Instructor:\nColton Seale \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Science Based Interview & Interrogation\nSeptember 24 @ 8:00 am – September 25 @ 4:00 pm\nRegistration deadline has been extended!\nThis course provides an introduction to science-based\, rapport-based interview and interrogation (I&I) techniques\, the same techniques in which FBI and CIA interviewers are trained. You will learn: \n\nHow to prepare for difficult interviews\,\nThe true nature of rapport and how to develop rapport with even the most challenging subjects\,\nSpecific models for developing rapport in an interview\,\nHow memory works and how to help victims and witnesses remember more accurate details\,\nHow best to use evidence\, and\nModern science-based methods of detecting deception.\n\nWithin the course we also discuss how we can best manage the uncertainty and ambiguity that is present in almost all investigations and the inherent cognitive biases that can impact our thinking in the investigative and interview processes. \nCourse Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the basic psychology of effective interpersonal communication.\nRecognize and control for common cognitive biases.\nUnderstand the basic methodology for interview planning and preparation.\nUnderstand the basic components of rapport.\nUnderstand and be able to apply the BASE Model of Rapport and the Interpersonal Behavior Wheels model.\nUnderstand the basic components of memory and apply memory enhancing mnemonics.\nDifferentiate between science and pseudoscience in deception detection and apply verbal-based methods of credibility assessment.\nEffectively use available evidence in an interview with late disclosure of key evidence.\n\nEquipment Needed: \n\nNotetaking materials\n\nMLEAP Accreditation Standard: \n\nThis course meets MLEAP Standard 7.07 – Interrogation\n\n			\n				Download MLEAP Training Proof
