ACt 180 – In-Service ClassesInvisible Wounds: Traumatic Brain Injury & Post-Traumatic Stress - 14-337(3-hour required course)In the fall of 2012, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a law that required the Commis-sion, in cooperation with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, the Departmentof Health, and other agencies with expertise in the field of traumatic brain injury (TBI) andpost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to assess the training needs of police officers in rec-ognizing and interacting with veterans and other individuals suffering from TBI or PTSD.The legislation also stipulated that if the Commission determined that training was neededin this area, the Commission would develop a training program to be available to all policeofficers in Pennsylvania. This training course is the result of that legislative initiative. Thisthree-hour course will provide instruction on the nature, prevalence, and indicators of trau-matic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder, and offer preferred ways to respondto such individuals. $14.85 tuition, .3 CEUs

Crimes against the Elderly: Transient Criminal Groups - 14-421(3-hour required course)Every week we see cases where senior citizens and other vulnerable people are victimized.Many of these crimes are committed by transient criminals who specifically target vulnera-ble victims. The crimes may take the form of an elderly person being “scammed” on homerepairs, driveway work or chimney repairs. Many times while the transient criminal isscamming the victim on the repairs, they also keep them occupied while an unseen accom-plice slips into the house and steals the victim’s jewelry and life savings. In other cases, thecrime starts with a knock on the door and the victim answers to see someone who appearsto be a utility worker. This “worker” may have a hard hat on, a safety vest and even somesort of ID card attached to his clothing. The “worker” tells the victim that he works for thewater company and that there is a “leak down the street” and he needs to test his/her waterto make sure it hasn’t become contaminated. The victim allows the “worker” into the houseand then follows him into the basement. Once in the basement the “worker” has the victimturning the water faucet off and on while he talks on a phone or radio. What the “worker” isdoing is telling his accomplice that he left the door unlocked and that he has the victim oc-cupied in the basement. The accomplice then enters and steals their valuables. Thesecrimes have a devastating effect on senior citizens. Some have lost their life savings in thismanner and jewelry that they accumulated over a lifetime. Even more devastating than theeconomic loss is the loss of their sense of security. No longer do they feel safe in their ownhomes and they fear the loss of their independence. They don’t understand how they couldhave been “so stupid” and all too often this initiates a downward spiral that ends with theirdemise. This course will identify the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, how to iden-tify and investigate these crimes, and resources that patrol officers and detectives can usein their investigations. $14.85 tuition, .3 CEUs

Technology Update: Introduction to Social Media - 14-422(3-hour required course)This 2014 course will address many of the topics that were requested in our 2012 TrainingNeeds Survey as well as those suggested during our discussion at the MPOETC TrainingCommittee meeting on December 5, 2012. This Technology Update will address InternetCrimes, Online Investigations for Patrol Officers, Social Networking, and Facebook andTwitter Investigations. It will look at the positive influence of using Social Networking as alaw enforcement tool. The evolution in consumer electronics has caused an exponentialgrowth in the amount of mobile digital data storage devices such as cell phones, digitalcameras, iPods, BlackBerrys, and GPS units. The intentional or inadvertent recording andstorage of digital data can be the subject of forensic investigation. This course is not de-signed to instruct patrol officers and investigators in the recovery of such data but ratherprovide them with information as to what data may exist on a variety of devices and thetechniques designed to preserve this information. This class will address technology, crimetrends, terminology, and applicable Pennsylvania and Federal statutes and cases. It willalso address search and seizure issues related to the seizure of and the retrieval of informa-tion contained within these devices. $14.85 tuition, .3 CEUs
