Whether you are coming for the whole conference, one day or one training block,we have structured the courses and times to maximize learning and your time with us. 

Day 1: Morning Block 1- Risk Management for Leaders

Lt. (ret) Rick Bates

This module illustrates the importance of risk management to maintain accountability, integrity and community trust. The instructor will outline the benefits of conducting risk management to improve organizational effectiveness and reduce liability and potential lawsuits. This model of proactive leadership focuses on prevention and pre-incident intervention as opposed to traditional approaches such as post-incident complaint and internal investigations.

 

Day 1: Morning Block 2 - Leading Your Agency from Crisis to Excellence

Dr. Steve Morreale, DEA (ret.)

American law enforcement has been under fire for the past several years. Agencies have been painted with a broad brush. As leaders from rural, small to medium sized agencies, police executives should consider opportunities for improving the optics and practices of police services. The session will allow for open discussion of prescriptives to continue to improve service delivery.

 

Day 1: Afternoon Block 1 - Police Reform and Defunding Issues

Chief (ret) John Moore

This talk will analyze the general principles of police reform and the defunding argument that had been developing in the past 10 years and were accelerated by the events and environment of 2020. Specifically, the subject matters of police reform to include Peace Officer Standards and Training, Use of Force, Civil Rights, Bias-free Policing, Internal Affairs, Public Records, Responsible Use of Technology, Operational Issues (School Resource Officers and No-Knock Warrants, etc.), and the possible future supplementation of police reform through special commissions and study committees will all be addressed. Also, the defunding narrative will be examined regarding how, if at all, it is consistent with police reform. Lastly, a comparative assessment of the police reform legislation in all the New England States will be delivered to predict and prepare for potential changes in the future

Day 1: All Day Block- Digital Investigations from A-Z

Detective Sergeant Kevin Connolly, Barnstable Police Department, Digital Forensics & Investigation Unit

Celllphones, Cell Towers & Social Media: From the crime scene to the courtroom, what you need to know.

This course is designed to give officers the tools necessary to handle the most common pieces of evidence involved in crimes today, Digital Evidence. Students will received the latest legal updates on cases involving digital evidence.

There will be a full case study as students navigate through this course so they can see how digital evidence can be used in every step of an investigation.

 

Day 2: Morning Block: Police Response to Substance Use Disorder

Dr. Sean Varano and Professor Pam Kelley

The opioids crisis is one of the most pressing public safety and health concerns to hit the United States in recent decades. In many communities across New England, police have been at the forefront of implementing innovative, treatment-first strategies intended to reduce the prevalence of overdoses and facilitating getting those with substance use disorder access to treatment. The presenters will discuss their efforts to support police-led post overdose outreach programs across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Particular attention will be given to the role of “data” to the success of these efforts. The session theme “Data Matters,” will cover the connections between problems, data, theory, and actionable public policy in addressing the current opioids crisis.

 

Day 2: Afternoon Block: The Box-Officer Health and Wellness

Chief (ret.) Doug Wyman & Chief (ret.) John Monaghan

This course is designed to challenge the ways in which law enforcement has typically viewed mental health and well-being. The course begins with a short film made by The Nantucket Project. Using this visual prompt the class starts with some self-reflection on the film’s meaning before moving into statistical information on the importance of mental health and wellbeing.
