CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

ALEST: A program designed to empower Virginia law enforcement officers/agencies to achieve community enhancement through

the understanding and impartial enforcement of Virginia alcohol laws and regulations. Upon conclusion of this period of instruction,

the officer will become familiar with: history/future of Virginia ABC, the role of the local law enforcement officer in alcohol

enforcement, the statutory authority of the local law enforcement officer to enforce ABC law, and to enter an ABV licensed

establishment, common criminal and administrative code sections, preparing administrative charges against a licensed ABC

establishment, Fake ID detection, nuisance abatement strategies, 21st century policing and alcohol enforcement, community coalitions,

licensee training programs, underage buyer compliance operations.

Applied Evidence-Based Policing Practices: Homicide and Violent Crime Reduction (online): Although the past several decades

have seen a steady decrease in violent crime statistics, homicides and violent crimes continue to have a devastating impact on many of

our nation’s communities. With long-term social implications and staggering economic consequences, even minimal levels of violent

crime diminish the quality of life in affected communities. In response, homicide and violent crime reduction remains a top priority

for police agencies throughout the nation. The challenge is addressing violent crime with effective interventions and countermeasures.

Instead of guessing or speculating on which HVR strategies work best, many agencies are turning to evidence-based policing practices

(EBPP) to address the unique needs of the communities they serve.

Arrest, Search & Seizure (4th Amendment): Contact between the public and police can become confrontational and charged with

emotion. Officers are responsible for preventing and investigating civil rights violations. The Constitution and federal laws protect

individuals against violation of their civil rights by law enforcement officers. This course will educate officers how to perform their

duties in accordance to these laws.

Bloodborne Pathogens: This one-hour course provides training in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogen Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030 for law enforcement officers. This course assists officers in identifying

bodily fluids and viruses that pose risk, the portals of entry and what does and does not constitute an exposure. In addition, he/she will

become acquainted with exposure prevention methods and precautions to prevent transmission as well as post-exposure steps and

considerations.






Bomb Threats in Schools: This one-hour course will instruct law enforcement to effectively prevent and handle bomb threat

situations.

Communication Skills: Whether on the street or in the courtroom, having the skill to recognize non-verbal cues, conduct through

field interviews, or build rapport with criminal informants is a core competency for law enforcement professionals. This section

covers everything from analyzing a suspect’s body language to managing calls involving person with autism.

Community Policing Defined (online): This is an interactive online course designed to provide participants with a basic awareness

and understanding of the fundamental principles and best practices of community policing. Based on the Department of Justice,

COPS Office publication of the same name, Community Policing Defined not only describes the practices of community policing but

also examines how it can be effectively applied. Comprised of four modules, the course explores partnerships, problem solving and

organizational transformation as they relate to specific issues and challenges facing today’s law enforcement professionals and the

communities they serve. As such it is a valuable and appropriate training opportunity for a wide variety of law enforcement and

public-safety professionals, ranging from new hires to experienced personnel, as well as community leaders, business owners and

other community stakeholders. Utilizing a blended learning approach, Community Policing Defined prompts users to actively

navigate through the course’s comprehensive content which includes on-screen text, graphics and narration. This design feature

allows adult learners the flexibility to determine their own pace and sequence for completing the course.

Courthouse Security: This two-hour course will provide a step-by-step guide to achieving security for all parties in a courthouse.

Crimes Against Children and Human Trafficking: This half day course will provide attendees an overview of Child Abduction

Response, Child Prostitution and Pornography Investigations, the Collection and Processing of Digital Evidence and the FBI’s Online

Child Exploitation mission. This course will focus on the uses of technology by both offenders and law enforcement, with an

emphasis on search and seizure of digital evidence as well as basis IP addressing for investigators. The class will expose students to

roles and responsibilities of local, state, and federal law enforcement in investigating Crimes Against Children as well federal and

state statues, local trends and addressing the needs of child victims. This course will enable students to effectively make decisions

regarding department capabilities and will enhance their ability to recognize situations where children have been exploited.






Crisis Negotiations: The FBI, Richmond Division, will be providing this 40 hour course designed for police officers assigned to negotiate in crisis

situations, e.g. barricaded subjects, hostage situations, suicidal subjects, etc.

Applicants will be selected with the understanding that active participation in classroom and training scenarios is a primary

requirement. Attendees will be evaluated throughout the week, during the practical application of basic concepts and at the end of the

week with a written exam.

This course is being hosted by the Skyline Regional Criminal Justice Academy and arrangements are being made so that attendees will

receive DCJS credit.

TO REGISTER: Please apply by June 15th, 2018, by sending a completed application to FBI Richmond Crisis Negotiation

Coordinator Kathryn Weber at email address: [email protected]. Application is available by contacting Bruce Coor or Patti Baggarly

and was sent to all Training Officers.

De-Escalation and Minimizing Use of Force: Persons with mental illnesses, drug or alcohol addictions, or disorders such as autism

can present police officers with difficult challenges. In some cases, a person may brandish a weapon or otherwise appear to pose a

threat to the public, to the police, or to himself or herself. The threat may or may not be real one, and often it is difficult to assess the

level of danger. These situations become more complicated when, because of their conditions, persons cannot communicate

effectively with police officers. This course provides the necessary training in addressing the nature of the challenges and providing

promising solutions.

Ethical Decision Making: Policing with Principled Insight (online): EDM is a thought-provoking eLearn course that explores the

practice of decision making and the ethical principles that support effective policing. In one of its most impactful and rewarding

endeavors to date, VCPI partnered with the USDOJ, COPS Office to create the Ethical Decision Making: Policing with Principled

Insight program. As part of this larger initiative, EDM stresses that police ethics are not just and after-thought or a means of

discouraging bad behavior. Instead, ethics are a controlling insight that inform and guide police practitioners from an internal,

personal capacity. EDM invites participants to join a 2500-year-old conversation on ethical decision making while exploring realistic,

modern day challenges faced by policing professionals. Recognizing that for policing professionals, public trust, integrity, and

liability hinge on each and every decision, EDM is crafted as a concise and relevant course addressing the realities of policing in the

21st century. Designated with the practitioner in mind, EDM includes on-screen text, videos, and narration in a user-friendly eLearn

environment that allows participants to start, stop and resume the training based on their schedules.

Evolution of Modern Terrorism: The Evolution of Modern Terrorism is a two day, sixteen hour class. It explores the emergence of

Al Qaeda and ISIS and assesses the threat they, and similar groups, pose in the United States today. The class details the evolution of

tactics used by these groups, and provides indicators that can help law enforcement interdict events before they occur and respond to

those that do occur. The class is geared strictly towards first responders, both in active response to events and during patrol activities

that may bring them into contact with potential terrorists and their supporters.

Ground Fighting 101 for the Female Officer: The objective of this one week course is to develop competency in the most

fundamental and critical aspects of ground fighting in a law enforcement context. The course focuses on a limited number of

situations and techniques, and strategies for using those techniques that are commonly encountered, pose a serious threat to the officer,

and form the basis for the development of further competency. Topics include combat base, neutralizing and opponent’s personal

weapons, and escapes from common positions of disadvantage, such as headlocks and the mount. Techniques and strategies are

specifically selected to make best use of a female officer’s strengths. This course is, by its nature, physically demanding.

High Risk/Felony Car Stop Training Course (U.S. Deputy Sheriff’s Association): A foundational training course designed to get

agencies on the same page with their tactical considerations in dealing with these situations. The course develops a teamwork

approach to dealing with any high risk type stops including felony stops, car chase conclusions, and suicidal subjects. We emphasize

officers should never blindly run up to a vehicle which is essentially a barricaded subject(s) who have a mobile option. Tactical

considerations such as vehicle set up, officer responsibilities, suspect call out procedures and team vehicle approaches are addressed.

Instinctive Hand-to-Hand Combat Course: This course addresses the elements of hand to hand combat. Footwork, striking,

takedown and control holds, and ground combatives are covered. This course is MMA based but geared toward law enforcement

officers. Officer survival and self-preservation is stressed. Officers may use that amount of force necessary to affect an arrest;

however students are reminded they must follow their individual departmental policies. The training will develop confidence in

student’s individual skills as well as other class attendees. Students will get out of it what they put into it with their effort. Much of

the course teaches training drills to lay a foundation for future training. The course is completely hands on, however students work at

their own skill level. The basics are what are covered because they will never let you known. Skills are repeated and techniques

added to progress and develop individual abilities.






Internet Fraud and Financial Investigative Strategies: This half day course focuses on internet fraud and financial investigative

methods, as well as federal statutes used to prosecute perpetrators. The training will offer an introduction on the most prevalent

internet frauds investigated by the FBI, and give an overview of the investigative process from the initiation of a fraud complaint

through prosecution. The course provides attendees with a general knowledge of internet fraud, financial crimes, overview of

investigative tools for law enforcement and an understanding of when cases should be referred for federal investigation.

Judicial Security Specialist (online): Nationally, threats against judicial personnel have quadrupled in the last decade. The judges

themselves are not the only ones in danger. Judges’ families are also being targeted as a direct threatening tactic and more attacks are

occurring in the judges’ homes. Creating awareness and providing resources is critical to securing the judiciary and their families. In

response, VCPI’s Judicial Security Specialist Online (JSSO) program prepares participants to enhance the safety of judicial officials,

their families, and other judicial staff. Throughout the interactive program, participants explore the foundations, current practices,

challenges, and opportunities, as well as how to adopt a security-conscientious approach at work, travel, and home. JSSO is crafted as

a concise and relevant eLearn course addressing the critical issues related to judicial security. Designed with the practitioner in mind,

the course includes on-screen text, downloadable resources, exercises, videos, and narration in a user-friendly eLearn environment that

allows participants to start, stop and resume the training based on their schedules. Participants should expect to spend approximately

6-8 hours completing this dynamic and timely course.

LawFit Fitness Leadership Workshop: LawFit Training is a hands-on, experiential approach that motivates fitness leaders in the

LawFit Program to lead by example and reinforces the fact that any successful fitness program must have the active support of senior

management. The three-day workshop consists of 10 two-part Sessions (Activity and Instructional). Each activity component allows

officers to apply, in a practical manner, the concepts they are learning. Course prerequisites: Participant is fit for full duty as a law

enforcement officer and is physically able to participate in the LawFit Fitness Leadership Workshop activities. The workshop’s

physical activities include, but are not limited to (one repetition maximum bench press), 60 second sit-up test, sit & reach flexibility

test, maximum repetition pull-up test, Lat pull-down test, 1.5 mile run, and 154 yard suspect pursuit. This training may have the

potential to put significant stress on the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems of participants. You must attend the entire three-

day course to receive Fitness Leader Certification.






Leadership: Having a solid foundation of leadership is essential to agency morale and efficiency. Discussions here highlight tips for

being a good mentor, developing leaders, succession planning and more.

Leadership Fundamentals and the Social Psychology of Trust for Leaders: This one day course is focused on leadership soft

skills and the psychology and practical application for developing trust with your team, subordinates, leaders, and peers. The day is

filled with self-awareness tools and experiential experiences with the objective of highlighting the natural strengths each attendee

possesses and creating an understanding of areas we may wish to enhance and improve upon.

LinX: This course is required for access to the LinX system and is designed for any user who is new to LinX. The lecture portion

covers what LinX is, uses for law enforcement, and the policy and rules of use. The remainder of the course is “hands on” in which

all students log into the system and run sample searches. All students will learn how to set up/change preferences, search

neighborhoods, and use best practices and investigative/analytical features of the most common structured and unstructured searches.

Instruction will also cover access and usage of LinX’s partner data sharing system, the FBI’s National Data Exchange (NDEx).

Manipulating the System: How Inmates Do Time: Jail correctional officers and deputies work inside facilities where operations

are governed by policies and procedures. These translate into systems such as security systems, communications systems and inmate

service systems. All are designed to keep inmates safely confined, the staff, inmates and public safe, and to ensure that inmates

receive necessary services and programs. Much time and effort are devoted to staff training and supervision to make sure that these

systems work efficiently. Inmates will attempt to circumvent these systems and create cracks in the security network. While jail

officers may think that all is well and operations are running smoothly, inmates because of the way they do time and for their own

advantage manipulate jail staff. Staff has access to the outside world and that is what inmates want to exploit. This in service training

course will explore ways that staff can combat this manipulation, using real case studies, examples and advice from veterans and

practitioners in jails. Jail staff will understand how inmates do time and how they manipulate.

New Perspectives on Community Policing (online): For over three decades, the principles of community policing have been a

driving force in American law enforcement. Yet for all of its past success, community policing may never have been as vital to law

enforcement and the well-being of our communities as it is today. New Perspectives on Community Policing is a free, web-based

training course that examines how change, emerging issues and threats are necessitating a reinvigorated commitment to the key

components of community policing: community partnerships, organizational transformation, and problem solving. The course

introduces this new perspective on community policing and offers and overview of the dramatic shifts and challenges that are faced by






law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. New Perspectives on Community Policing also offers problem-solving

tools, examples of successful police and community partnerships, and numerous community-policing resources.

New Perspectives on Community Policing is the product of a joint partnership between the Virginia Center for Policing Innovation

(VCPI), the Western Community Policing Institute (WCPI), and the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented

Policing Services (COPS). New Perspectives on Community Policing has been developed as a modular online training that will

require an absolute minimum of 4 hours to complete. However its technology-enhanced design allows participants to start, stop, and

resume the training based on their schedules and the demands of the day.

Preventing and Addressing Bullying in Schools: This one hour course will inform and share proven ways local SROs and other law

enforcement officials can address and respond to bullying. Although they are not on-site to carry out disciplinary functions that fall

under the purview of school personnel, SROs can play an important role as law enforcers, educators and informal counselors.

Raising the Bar in Public Safety Supervision: This course addresses the needs of Public Safety supervisors in a variety of

situations. From routine administrative matters to responding to critical incidents and scene management, the class presents an overall

strategy for creating an environment designed to maximize supervisory skills, employee development, and agency effectiveness. Who

should attend – First line supervisors, middle level management, and those aspiring to be supervisors in all law enforcement related

fields, including police, sheriff’s, corrections and dispatch.

Sovereign Citizen and Homegrown Violent Extremism: This full day course will provide attendees with an overview of Sovereign

Citizen and Homegrown Violent Extremism ideology. Sovereign Citizen Extremism discusses the origin (Redemption Theory),

theories, tactics and groups. It will also include Sovereign Citizen case studies. Homegrown Violent Extremism discusses threats,

trends and the radicalization process. It will also include Homegrown Violent Extremism case studies. At the completion of the

course, students will have a basic understanding of Sovereign Citizen and Homegrown Violent Extremism ideology, be able to

identify a Sovereign Citizen and Homegrown Violent Extremist and know the appropriate course of action to take during an encounter

with a Sovereign Citizen or potential Homegrown Violent extremist.

Suspects in Medical Distress: This one-hour course will give the learner a better understanding of how to respond to and identify

suspects in medical distress at the time of arrest. You must treat Suspects under medical distress differently than ones who are not.

This course helps you as the officer understand the difference.






SWAT Basic: This class is five 8 hour days per week Monday-Friday. Pre-Qualification is mandatory in both Firearms and

LAWFIT. Firearms will be conducted at the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office range September 13 at 0800, minimum score of 90%

on MDA 60 Course with handgun. Candidates who successfully complete the firearms prequalification in the morning should plan on

being at the Academy at 1300, September 13th, to participate in LAWFIT. Appropriate attire for LAWFIT is physical training attire,

plus a ballistic vest. The candidate must successfully complete all components of the LAWFIT course which will be graded on the

criteria established by LAWFIT. Class size is limited to 20 students.

Tactical Community Policing for Homeland Security (online): This online class focuses on strengthening the capacity of law

enforcement agencies to implement an all crimes approach, based on community policing principles. The fundamental premise is that

terrorism and community policing are both philosophical approaches aimed at influencing civilian populations. Whereas terrorism

seeks to inspire fear and coerce civilian populations into submission, community policing aims to preserve order, diminish fear, and

build resilience.

Throughout this eLearn course, participants explore the following topics:

*Community Partnerships

*Practical Problem Solving Strategies

*Proactive Prevention, Intervention and Interdiction Strategies

*Values Based Policing in the Climate of Terrorism

*The Process of Intelligence Development

TCPHS online is crafted as a concise and relevant eLearn course addressing the realities of policing in the 21st century. Designed with

the practitioner in mind, the course includes on-screen text, videos, and narration in a user-friendly eLearn environment that allows

participants to start, stop and resume the training based on their schedules. Although it requires a minimum of 2 hours of

uninterrupted run-time, participants should expect to spend approximately 4 hours completing this dynamic and timely course.






Tactical Patrol Officer: The three day Tactical Patrol Officer Course is designed to give patrol officers advanced tactical training. As the first responders

to any emergency situation, patrol officers need more skills to deal with increasingly hostile threats. This is not a SWAT school, but a more advanced patrol

tactics course covering multiple subjects such as, two man room entries, tactical medicine and patrol rifle.

Required equipment- Training uniform Duty belt Vest Patrol rifle w/ sling 3 rifle magazines Method to carry rifle magazines 400rds of rifle ammo 100rds of pistol ammo Note taking material Eye/Ear protection Class size is limited to 16

Use of Force: According to the National Institute of Justice, the use of force by law enforcement officers becomes necessary and is

permitted under specific circumstances in self-defense or in defense of another individual or group. Police officers receive guidance

from their individual agencies, but there is no universal set of rules that governs when officers use force and how much they should

use. This two-hour online course provides training and focuses on the legal aspects for an officer to use force when affecting an

arrest, investigatory stop, or other seizure of a free citizen.

Violence Interdiction: A Proactive Approach to Mitigating Conflict (online): This course is an innovative online course that

equips law enforcement with the practical skills and knowledge necessary to tackle escalating violence through a proactive and tough

interdiction approach. Based on crime prevention principles, Violence Interdiction shatters the notion that law enforcement is limited

to responding to conflict only after it has escalated to violence. Instead, this web-based course highlights the opportunities that law

enforcement and criminal justice professionals have to intervene prior to escalation. The course explores a variety of strategies that

help mitigate conflict and examines the steps to identify, assess, and manage threats in ways that may prevent violence from occurring

at all. Concepts covered in this course are applicable for all criminal justice disciplines, including law enforcement patrol, crime

prevention specialists, corrections, probation and parole, courts and more. This is an online, self-paced course of instruction that will

allow you the flexibility of starting, stopping and resuming the training based on your schedule. It is anticipated that successfully

completing this course will take 8 hours.
