Howdy TJA Members!

I want to be the first one to welcome you to the 30th Annual Texas Jail Association Conference! I’m sure Jerry Baggs would be proud to see this milestone and what our members have built this organization into – one of the premier professional associations in the United States dedicated to corrections.

We have an outstanding training agenda for you this year. Second Vice President Todd Allen and the Training Committee will be bringing you topics dealing with the mentally ill, risk management, personnel issues, liability, leadership, life safety, and the list goes on. The instructors presenting the classes are some of the best in

their areas of expertise and I’m sure you’ll enjoy each and every class you attend. We have also included specific TCOLE credit courses as well!

As always, we’ll have lots to do on Monday, but we’ll officially kick off our 30th Anniversary on Tuesday morning with our Opening Ceremonies and welcoming remarks. I’m be excited to have Mr. Kim Vickers as our Key Note Speaker. Mr. Vickers is the Executive Director for the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, an organization that has a big impact on all of us as professionals in terms of licensing and training. Additionally, 1st Vice President Brent Phillips will be presenting to you an outstanding slate of candidates for the open Director Positions, as well as 3rd Vice President and proposed by-law changes.

We have our traditional activities on tap for you as well. The Jerry Baggs Memorial Golf Tournament, the Travis County Jail Tour, the Presidential Apron Lunch, the “Jailpardy” competition, the Driving Simulator, the Blood Drive, and much, much more.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the Exhibitor Show and our fabulous sponsors. You will be seeing the latest and greatest in goods and services available today. Please make it a point to meet all of our vendors and thank them for their support. Without them, and our premier sponsors, we could not bring you such a great conference!

Lastly, Billy Bryan and the Entertainment Committee have arranged an outstanding lineup for you this year. We will have DJ Pedro Reyes rocking all your favorites on Tuesday night; Sheriff Law will emcee the TJA Idol Competition on Wednesday night; and we will cap off the banquet with The NewsBoyz, an Austin party band that will get you on the floor and dancing to some of the best live music in town.

So again, welcome to Austin and Travis County. I know you will have an outstanding experience at the 30th Annual TJA Conference!

Shane Poole

MONDAY, MAY 9, 2016Crisis InterventionRenee Merrick

The Crisis Intervention Refresher training provides a review of the key concepts, safety techniques and communication skills initially taught in the crisis intervention section (Chapter27) of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) Basic Peace Officer Curriculum. This course will allow time for discussion, questions and concerns of technique utilization that participants have experienced since their initial training. This course will also focus on communication strategies and current updates to the Texas Health and Safety Code (Mental Health).

In Custody DeathJames MacMillan

This presentation covers the types and frequencies of In Custody Deaths, with a focus on Excited Delirium, Drug and Alcohol Withdrawal and Suicide Prevention.

Maintaining Professional DistanceAimee Crockett

How close is too close? While the topic might sound like we will discuss a measurable amount of space, there is a great deal more to consider. In a time where we frequently hear about how to improve “staff-inmate relations,” how close is too close? There is more to think about than just proximity and distance. Let’s look at how our behavior contributes to circumstances that could easily be prevented. Are we saying one thing and doing another?

Basic Gangs and Tattoo IdentificationLeonel Barrera and Jesse Collins

This basic gang and tattoo identification course is designed to provide the basic concepts of identifying gang related tattoos. This course introduces the student to the basic gangs in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system and local street gangs from the West Texas area. The student will be taught common identifiers and a brief history on the listed gangs. Video debriefs will be provided on certain gangs from active members to give the most accurate information on that group.

TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2016

Iris Scan Tech InitiativeDavid Jones

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Biometric Center of Excellence (BCOE) is conducting an Iris Pilot which provides iris image search services to participating criminal justice agencies. Iris recognition is proving to be a fast, highly accurate, and nonintrusive means of identification. Participating agencies are able to enroll images with booking transactions, append iris images to existing records, and perform identification searches with an average response time of under one second.

The Texas Department of Public Safety was one of the first state agencies to participate in the pilot and provide their local criminal justice agencies with the ability to submit iris transactions to the FBI. Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) facilities in ten locations are currently participating in 8

11

this pilot utilizing the capability to conduct a biometric identification prior to inmate release. Other correctional facilities and agencies conducting supervised release within Texas can now

participate in this new biometric technology that is quickly proving to be a hygienic, accurate, and effective tool for the rapid identification of persons.

Legislative UpdateAJ Louderback

A presentation to include the description of the Texas legislative process from the perspective of the Office of Sheriff and updates on the legislative activities in the 84th Texas Legislative Session that are relevant to law enforcement and corrections.

Can a Tweet Put You on the Street?Sheila Gladstone

When can an employer control the personal social media activities of employees? Should criminal justice professionals be held to a higher standard? How does such an employee’s internet presence affect the ability to do the job effectively, safely, and with credibility? An experienced employment law attorney will explore the professional and ethical pitfalls employees’ use of social media, as well as providing lots of entertaining examples of what NOT to do.

The Little County That CouldAnthony Hardee

Current indicators tell an alarming story of how small county jails are exploding with increased populations. With minimum budgets and resources we are required by law to carry on with “business as usual.” This course explores efforts to lower operating cost, insure the safety of our officers and staff and increase management of our inmates with a low cost approach to Inmate Programs.

In this era of public awareness of the treatment of incarcerated individuals on a county level we must respond in a fair and just manner. There are many low cost programs and free resources that can improve this public opinion and return these individuals to productive citizens while benefiting facilities that house them by controlling cost, improving officer safety and strengthening inmate behavior management.

Customer ServiceAimee Crockett

While the subjects we encounter might not be commonly viewed as “customers” there is still a level of service we provide. Does our level of service contribute to the kind of experience we have with our customers?

9

We will examine expectations of others in our daily roles as well as where we fall in meeting these expectations. Can our level of service alter the outcome of the experience for both parties?

Securing the Hospital EnvironmentLuke Hatley

Situations arise where an inmate, for one reason or another, will be taken/received at the hospital. Because of the nature of the responsibility by the jail to maintain inmates, certain aspects of protection and/or safeguarding are essential.

Interpersonal InteractionsKyle McNew

Interpersonal Interactions will provide participants with an understanding of how to better communicate with others. This session will look at individual personalities and provide insight into how to communicate with others based on your own personality and their personality. You will learn how others view you based on personality style. This information can be helpful when trying to understand how to work with others and those you may supervise.

Moving into a new position means new challenges, new responsibilities, new skills, and if you are lucky discovering job satisfaction. In this course you will learn strategies that will aid you into a smooth successful transition from line staff to supervisor. The following strategies and tactics will be discussed during this course along with a lot more information: how to be an effective new supervisor, how to motivate your staff, when to be flexible and when to be firm, how to be transparent without allowing your staff to cross the line, delegate tasks and responsibilities firmly and fairly, how to deal with friends that are not part of your staff, motivating employees who are

11

just “working for a check,” how to separate the role of “boss” and “friend,” how to develop leaders from followers, and if you give negative feedback, always follow it with positive reinforcement.

This is the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) mandated Texas State & Federal Law Update #3184 course for Texas Peace Officers. Multiple bills passed by the 84th Legislature will have an impact on Texas law enforcement. There were administrative changes, changes in existing statues, and new laws. In pursuit of equality in justice and ensuring public safety, peace officers will better serve their communities by increasing their awareness of changes and additions in state statutes.

12

The Jailed Suspect is a Walking, Talking Crime SceneJack Choate

Some law enforcement officers believe an investigation is complete when a suspect is arrested and thrown in jail. In reality, some of the best evidence used in trial comes from an incarcerated suspect. Correctional officials should be aware of the types of evidence blossoming within their reach and know what to do with it. This presentation will describe some of the useful evidence which can be obtained from a correctional institution and review some of the legal hurdles one must clear before seizing it.

Professional Survival for Women in Criminal JusticeMary Farley

This presentation focuses on women in law enforcement and specifically the challenges that females face. Emotional Intelligence, Female Ethics and Conscious Communication are some of the topics discussed during this session.

Strategies for a Sustainable Income in Retirement Dana Schulz

Retirement used to be much simpler. A person would spend their entire career with ONE company and then upon retirement they would receive a pension and that would be enough. The burdens, challenges, and risks of today's world are far greater. The stock market has seen negative returns for an entire decade. Health care costs are up but benefits are down. Life expectancy has dramatically increased and we are in a time when people need guaranteed income more than ever, yet fewer people have it than ever before.

This course will talk about surviving, and thriving, in difficult economic times. This is a mathematical and scientifically proven method on how to create a solid retirement with as much upside potential and downside protection as possible. Its purpose is to help you make absolutely sure that you have guaranteed lifetime income to keep you and your family protected in any market

By using simple financial products properly, having a plan for long term care, and utilizing cutting edge estate planning ideas, we will show you how to retire with enough guaranteed lifetime income to cover your basic expenses and optimize the rest of your portfolio to make sure you receive your "playchecks." It's not rocket science – it is financial sense.

The Three Indefensible ActsRobert Davis

Participants will be able to correctly identify gang members using the Detention 2035 form. Participants will be able to reference each criteria to the correct section of the CCP. Participants will be able to interview different gang members in order to confirm their gang affiliation.

Inmate Behavior ManagementJerry Barratt

Describes the six elements of inmate behavioral management including classification, housing, basic needs, supervision, defining and conveying expectations, and keeping inmates productively occupied. When the six elements are implemented as a group inmate behavior can be more manageable. The

13

history of Brazos County’s involvement, the implementation of the program, and its net effect on behavior at Brazos County will be highlighted. A video of the Jeff Ross show taped at the Brazos County Detention Center will be shown.

Long before Adam Brown became a member of the elite SEAL Team SIx—the counterterrorism unit that took down Osama bin Laden—there was a fun-loving country boy from Arkansas whose greatest goal had been to wear his high school’s football jersey. An undersized daredevil, prone to jumping off roofs into trees and off bridges into lakes, Adam Brown was a kid who broke his own bones, but would never break a promise to his

parents … until he grew older, and his family watched that appetite for risk, draw him into a downward spiral that eventually landed him in jail.

This year’s prayer breakfast will feature Larry and Janice Brown, parents of Adam Brown. They will tell the story of Adam and his success after being visited by a Chaplain in jail.

Eric Blehm has written a book about Adam’s life titled Fearless. It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses and persevered to reach the top tier of the U.S. military. Always the first to volunteer for the most dangerous assignments, Adam Brown's final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice. Adam’s friends and family describe him as a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior.
