Welcome
In law enforcement training rooms
across the United States, procedural learning is emphasized to foster growth
in our people. But in a changing world where crime continues to advance and
become more intelligent, is this the best route to take? Are there better ways
to fuel growth and effectiveness in law enforcement?
Many believe a paradigm shift in training has been needing to occur.
Hindsight, insight and foresight need to work collectively to progress into the
future world of practical intelligence. Today, we are proud to present the LEIU
20/20, where we have launched a platform to create and stir changes toward
this direction. Relax and open your minds to the insights and ideas that our
speakers and visionaries bring you today, as we embark on this journey
together.
Welcome to the 20/20!

Captivate Your audienCe: SCienCe or art?The fear of public speaking has been compared to the fear of dying. Whether there is a high, positive correlation between the two fears may remain a mystery; however, learning to present well is clearly a skill that can be learned. Such expertise is valuable for anyone who wishes to excel and experience deep satisfaction in a job well done. Is crafting an effective presentation a science or an art? In this session find the answer while learning how to construct AND deliver a presentation that will captivate your audience. Utilize the simple model that will be shared and add sparkle to both your professional and personal pursuits.

Making thingS hard on YourSelf, but in a good waY: introduCing deSirable diffiCultieSParadoxically, certain manipulations that promote forgetting and impair performance during training actually enhance long-term recall and transfer, whereas conditions that retard forgetting and enhance performance during training frequently fail to support long-term retention and transfer of training to new conditions. From a theoretical standpoint, such findings emphasize some of the unique, complex, and unintuitive processes that characterize human learning. From a practical standpoint, they point to reasons why teachers and trainers are susceptible to choosing less-effective conditions of instruction over more effective conditions; why students are prone to illusions of comprehension; and why real-world instruction is seldom as effective as it might be.

poliCing Convergent threatS in the 21St CenturYThe threat of overseas adversaries attacking the homeland is significantly less that it was a decade ago. But, by all accounts, the threat has evolved into more of a homegrown, decentralized, lone actor inspired by an ideology that is easily resourced on the internet. Because of our varsity defense, there is now less collaboration in this threat, however, there is some current level of cohesiveness. Terrorism threats are also converging with other criminal groups, such as gangs, cartels, transnational organized crime and others. The federal government and all levels of law enforcement face challenges of dealing with a threat that is now more complex and an intelligence signal that is weaker than it once was. The best opponent for a decentralized adversary is a decentralized organization – State and Local Law Enforcement.

how advanCeS in giS Can help reduCe CriMeExciting and innovative research is taking place within the GIS academic community. While much of the research has remained exclusive to the academy, some of those new methods are attainable and can be modified for use in strategic public safety today. This talk addresses three significant areas of GIS advances: spatial clustering, remote sensing, and the use of open source programming languages. It also shows how analysts can be more than mere users of software products, serving as a catalyst for evolutionary change for the field of crime and intelligence analysis in local law enforcement.

leiu 20/20: a new twiSt on law enforCeMent trainingIf we are to progress we must remain open-minded to the possibility of questioning our policies and practices. We need to keep abreast of the current research in our fields, consult with outside professionals, and acknowledge our limitations. We need to look at all possible factors contributing to the problems we see in our agencies. If we are to meet the future we cannot simply do what we have done in the past.

Moving beYond 20/20 viSionarieS to SuCCeSSful CreatorS of ChangeCreative Analysis was created to move individuals from visionaries and dreamers with good ideas to successful risk-taking creators of change. We must train our brain to the point that when audio and visual “problems” enter in we intentionally activate the higher cognitive processing centers of the brain in an effort to stimulate a possible concept that will resolve the perceived “problem”. As analysts we then do what we do best…move from theories or hypothesis to analyzing, researching, resolutions and implementation. Creative Analysis is not limited to crime but extends to every aspect of life which is why active listening skills and intentional brain activity is required. This requires you to do a self-analysis on how you process auditory and visual data perceived as problems.

innovating CriMe analYSiSI will explore the critical role innovation plays in the continuous development/evolution of crime and intelligence analysis. There is no limit to what can be accomplished if the analyst is continuously daring to explore new horizons; daring to fail. It is essential analysts accept these challenges and always take risks. Only then can the discipline continue to innovate and evolve.

obServationS aS both an intelligenCe SuperviSor and intelligenCe analYStWorking as an intelligence professional in the Law Enforcement community can be difficult. Many managers have no experience in the intelligence field and many analysts are pulled from the ranks and expected to pick up the analyst role very quickly, having no background in analysis either. Over the last 12 years, Brian has had the experience of being managed by intel and non-intel managers and managing intel and non-intel analysts. Brian will share some insights on how to better work with the non-intel supervisor and managing analysts with an intel and non-intel background.

proteCting, Serving & ethinkingThis quote while humorous in it’s intent also illustrates a culture that is more concerned with the perception of getting caught, rather than developing a depth of self-awareness and person-integrity. Building a system for traditional rule and compliance which relies on the threat of “witnesses” (supervisors, peers or caught on tape), though useful, is limited and hardly a solution. Webster defines “ethics” as, “The accepted rules of conduct governing an individual or group”. To affect positive change in an individual’s actions, it becomes necessary to understand the depth of this definition and the structure for becoming corrupted by group-think and destructive rule adherence. This understanding can be applied to how we respond to rules we encounter each moment of our lives.

Changing the deCiSion – Making Culture.Decisions define organizations, this is acutely apparent during a crisis. Yet, despite the potential consequences, organizational cultures fail to foster consistent methodologies and language to govern critical decisions. The speaker will discuss a decision-making model developed for the National Nuclear Security Administration NA 42 to manage a nuclear crisis. The model tenets have broad application across multiple disciplines.

vulnerabilitY aSSeSSMent and the JuStiCe CoMMunitYOver the past sixty-two years, there have been 326 documented targeted attacks worldwide upon members of the justice community (primarily judges, prosecutors and senior law enforcement), with 83% being murders. In the past three years, there have been at least eleven cases of a defendant attempting to outsource the killing of a U.S. justice community member. Most disturbing of all is that the vast majority of these attacks have occurred away from the office, during “non-duty” hours. The vulnerability assessment may be the only long-term proactive tool that can be provided to an individual that would enable them to recognize the buildup to an attack. As intelligence analysts, you have the background, knowledge, experience and skills to provide this vital information that could result in lives saved.

the liar’S voCabularYThis speech will detail how many subtle communication cues are detectable in deceptive speech. It will include, how to spot deception by observing for subtle, verbal, vocal and kinesic subconscious behaviors. The information will be practical and immediately useful in both your personal and professional encounters. Mr. Osborn has used this material to save a person’s life.
joANNA meNdeLsoNInvestigative Researcher and Director of Special Projects, Anti-Defamation League
As one of the nation’s leading organizations monitoring hate groups and extremists, ADL has significant expertise in tracking their criminal activity. This brief presentation will provide a context in which some of these racist beliefs thrive (from the election of President Obama to a poor economy), the continuum of extremist beliefs (from white supremacy to Sovereign Citizens) as well as provide an overview of some of the main tenets of their ideology. Additional information will also be given on ADL’s Law Enforcement Agency Resource Network (LEARN) that can be used as a tool to aid law enforcement.

deteCting lieS and prediCting behavior through handwriting analYSiSHandwriting is a form of self expression. Just as changes in eye movement and voice intonation can indicate possible deception, so can the strokes in a person’s written statements. This presentation will provide insight into how to detect lies and possible criminal behavior based on glitches, changes in slant and other indicators of nervousness and hidden intention. You will also learn some obvious indicators that can quickly determine a writer’s level of honesty and dishonesty based on a few writing forms. The presenter offers one sure guarantee - you will never look at handwriting quite the same way again.

poliCing in the era of tranSnational threatSLaw enforcement intelligence units are facing threats that are increasingly more complex, interlinked and transnational in nature. This requires these units to be more proactive, informed and connected than ever before. This talk will focus on how state and local law enforcement agencies are rising to the occasion – and the challenges they are facing along the way.

when the faCtS Change, i Change MY Mind. what do You do, Sir?When is enough information enough….enough to change a mind, a belief, a value? It took years for the world to accept that the earth was not the center of the universe and that the earth was not flat. Today, we have enough information to tell us that what we are currently doing in policing is anachronistic – best served in a society that lived 50 years ago and mostly ineffective in the multicultural, multilingual, globally mobile world of today. Law enforcement agencies still seem to use an ad hoc, anecdotal, reactive approach to crime reduction. How do police departments begin to invest in action research – using data to engage in an iterative process of testing new solutions, analyzing the results, and learning from the successes and failures? Self-examination is vital to the field of criminal justice and without a huge shift in law enforcement’s values our profession will never become “professional”.

how do You know what You know? the role of inforMation filteringHow do you know what you know? More importantly, how do you know what you do not know? Gathering and processing information is a critical skill for leaders. Often poor information filtering results in the loss of millions of dollars, failed business, and even the loss of life. This discussion will highlight the role of information filtering and how the implementation of objective data collection techniques can improve your leadership.

glue: the Stuff that holdS teaMS together – building better teaMSDo you ever feel like your best efforts on a team go unnoticed? That you don’t get the praise, adoration and acclamation you deserve? Do your teams not perform to their potential, or wind up under achieving? Just like the beautiful floats at the Rose Parade teams need “Glue” to hold them together in order to be successful.
