BELOW 100 PRESENTED IN COOPERATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY INSTRUCTOR: Tom Gillman is a BELOW 100 Core Instructor, is currently the Criminal Justice Training Coordinator at Delta College setting up in-service training for law enforcement and Program Coordinator for the College’s Local Corrections Officer Academy. He is also campus patrol officer , a certified firearms instructor and police academy instructor. Mr. Gillman retired as a road patrol Sergeant from the Bay County Sheriff’s Office after 26 years, a career which included defensive tactics & firearms instructor, working narcotics, traffic enforcement and accident investigation. COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Below 100 program was created by Law Officer Magazine. Below 100 is an initiative that aims to reduce the line of duty deaths to below 100, a number not seen since 1943. We’ve averaged about 150 officers killed per year in the last ten years. Together, we can bring that number to below 100. We have identified five key tenets by which we can improve officer safety—areas where we can make a difference. Below 100 isn’t about statistics. It’s about each and every officer, trainer and supervisor taking individual and collective responsibility for the decisions and actions that contribute to safety. For those in a leadership position, Below 100 means supporting a culture of safety throughout your department. Make doing the right thing so ingrained in your personnel that it becomes the norm and not the exception. Law Officer Magazine is committed to providing you the tools and resources you need to make a culture of safety thrive throughout your department. Finally, Below 100 is a challenge that recognizes each officer death as a tragedy. It’s our duty to face down death and protect the innocent when called to do so. It’s a fact: Good cops will die each year. But working together—and only by working together—we can keep our streets and ourselves safer. “INTENSIVE” SESSION: First 4 Hours / “TRAIN THE TRAINER” SESSION: All 8 Hours COURSE NAME: Below 100 COURSE CODE: PBSV-5716 DATE: May 13, 2015 TIMES: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm COST: FREE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS RESERVE OFFICERS / CORRECTIONS OFFICERS AND ACADEMY STUDENTS LOCATION: Oakland Police Academy Oakland Community College – CREST 2900 Featherstone Road Auburn Hills, MI 48326 Registration: Phone: 248 232-4220 Fax: 248 232-4225 This Course is MCOLS Approved

Since 1982, Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates, Inc. (WZ) has trained over 200,000 law enforcement professionals. The WZ Seminar on Criminal Interview & Interrogation ties the interpretation of verbal and physical behavior into a structured approach of interview and interrogation.

This course is unique in that it provides training in multiple techniques of interview and interrogation, including the WZ Non-Confrontational Method, Behavioral Interviews and the Reid Method*. The WZ Non-Confrontational Method is a structured, conversational approach that often results in an admission (or multiple admissions) without the suspect ever making a denial or protesting their innocence. Moreover, the resulting legally-acceptable confession often includes information not revealed during the investigation.

• Room Setting & Preparation • Legal Aspects • Theme Development • Handling Explanatory Denials • Enticement Questions

• WZ Non-Confrontational Method • Behavioral Analysis Interview • The Reid Method* • Development of the Admission • Interpretation of Verbal & Physical Behavior

There is more than one way to interrogate a suspect. If a person is trained in multiple methods, they have the ability to use the technique most appropriate for the type of case and individual they are interviewing.

* WZ is licensed by John E. Reid and Associates, Inc. (Reid), originator and developer of the Reid Method. WZ was licensed by Reid in 1984. Since that time, the extensive updates for this seminar, including the WZ Method of Non-Confrontational Interview & Interrogation, have been developed by WZ using the latest information from legal, psychological and interrogation

research.

He has lectured at numerous schools and workshops relating to forensic and general law enforcement photography.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The emphasis in this class is to learn from “hands on” training. The primary objectives are to provide students with a working knowledge of basic and specialized methods in crime scene photography while learning to use the functions and features of their digital and/or film camera. This is done by working on numerous practical exercises relating to crime scene photography and the photographic documentation of evidence. The exercises are practical in that they are designed to replicate the various forms of evidence scenarios likely to be encountered in “real world” investigations. The workshop will also highlight imaging technology in law enforcement. National standards will be presented on procedures and guidelines used in protecting the integrity of digital photographs, as well as landmark court cases relative to digital images used in court. The training is conducted at the CREST training grounds (www.oaklandcc.edu/crest/) and incorporates its training city to stage the scenarios used in the class. The CREST training city includes a typical residential neighborhood and commercial businesses setting on paved roads with street lighting during hours of darkness. The students will work on their photographic exercises and adapt their photographic methods to an environment likely to be encountered in their respective work area. Practical exercises incorporate flash photography and special lighting methods in the following topic areas: • Dust impressions. • 3-dimension impressions. • Close up exercises in latent prints, VIN numbers, tool marks, & cartridge cases. • Injuries and assaults. • Shooting reconstruction (indoor and outdoor). • Blood enhancement (open area and vehicle). • Crime scene documentation Equipment Needed: • Digital camera or film camera. • Shutter release cable • Close-up lens • Electronic Flash • 5´ flash to camera synchronization cord • Tripod • Spare batteries for camera and flash. • Manual for camera and flash Class is limited to 8 students to ensure those with little or no photographic experience receive maximum benefit of the workshop. Photographs from the exercises will be processed overnight for evaluation the next day of class. Additionally, each student will be mailed a portfolio of photographic displays of their completed projects. Processing and printing of exercise photographs and relevant materials will be provided as part of the workshop.

Non-Destructive Entry for Police Personnel

MCOLES 302 funding registered Why use Non-Destructive Entry (NDE)? NDE offers an alternate option to a forced entry. Techniques such as lock picking can allow patrol officers, supervisors, command officers, detectives, surveillance/narcotic officers and special response/SWAT teams a covert and non-destructive entry method. NDE can be appropriate and helpful for welfare checks, community caretaker functions, suspicious circumstances, search warrants, a tactical option, or even a home lockout. Forced entry is the most expensive and least efficient method of entry, and is not always necessary. With forced entry, there are significant costs of repair or replacement of a smashed door, broken lock and split door frame, all of which costs several hundred dollars to well over $1,000, not to mention officer time waiting for board up or repair crews, litigation and loss of goodwill. BASIC COURSE: This 2-day course will introduce participants to the core basics of non-destructive entry, including lock-picking techniques, bumping, and bypass methods over a 2-day course with more than 200 locks. Participants will practice on residential and commercial locks, padlocks, deadbolts, knob locks, lever handled locks, and mortise cylinders. Professional lock picking set/other tools provided. Course generously hosted by Southfield Police Department in their training center. Cost is $475.00. ADVANCED COURSE: This 2-day course is part two of the training that follows the basic course. Students need to have had the basic course or similar training, and will need to bring their professional pick set from the basic course. Advanced lock picking techniques and bypass are covered, along with less destructive locksmith based entry techniques. There are over 200 locks including tubular locks. Professional tools are provided. Cost is $475.00. Advanced Training Dates pending.

The Heroes Path to Excellence in Law Enforcement – A W.I.N. Seminar

What is it that allows some men and women to remain calm, focused, in control and confident, draw on their training and preparation, and perform heroically in the middle of tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving events?

What is it about the way these men and women think, act, train, prepare and respond that allows them to perform at the highest levels?

The Heroes Path to Excellence in Law Enforcement will explore these very questions and provide simple, proven strategies that every law enforcement professional can apply in his or her own life in pursuit of personal and professional excellence. This engaging and inspiring seminar will build upon three main themes:

Life’s Most Powerful Question – What’s Important Now? “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure

in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Christopher Reeves’ Excellence is a Choice
