TACTICAL INTERVIEWING PROGRAM® featuring Psycho Logic
The Tactical Interviewing Program is a three day course on Interviewing and Interrogation, which emphasizes techniques that get confessions. Lt. Jerry Lewis (retired) has combined thirty- six years of experience as a polygraph examiner with the study of psychology specifically applied to interrogation. As a result, he has developed PSYCHO LOGIC, the easiest and most accurate method of determining deception and obtaining confessions. Lt. Lewis believes that we give liars way too much credit and don’t give ourselves enough. PSYCHO LOGIC explains how all human minds work – how they process information and arrive at a decision to tell the truth or deny. Armed with this knowledge, interviewers understand how the Tactical Interviewing Program is the best approach, the only approach, to use with all people, regardless of their upbringing or background.
The Tactical Interviewing Program contains no filler. The concepts presented are Advanced due to their uniqueness, but are easily applied by both experienced and inexperienced interviewers alike. The Interviewing process is broken down to its most basic elements. Many of these techniques were developed by the instructor after he debriefed every person that admitted the truth. He found out why they confessed when they did and why they hadn’t admitted it previously. Lt. Lewis discovered that many interviewers utilize techniques which inadvertently work against their own efforts and keep people from telling the truth!
Sign up to learn the one thing that makes people tell the truth and the one word which interrogators use that actually stops people from confessing!

DOCUMENT FRAUD FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS This course will assist law enforcement (Patrol Officers as well as Detectives) with training that will enhance their ability to recognize and identify the universe of identity-related documents issued by and relied upon by the MVC and the factors that motivate fraudsters.

Students will learn what tools are available to assist them in identifying counterfeit documents by providing “hands on” training and experience in the recognition of fraud as it pertains to documents such as: driver licenses, green cards, passports, birth certificates and social security cards. Participants will learn the newest trends in counterfeiting of drivers licenses by “on-line” manufacturers, which has becoming increasingly common due to the ease in obtaining access to technologies. This course will also review counterfeit as well as genuine NJ inspection stickers, temporary registrations and certificates of title. In addition, this class will review facial recognition technology as it is used by the Motor Vehicle Commission on all images captured as well as the process that is used with the submission of a photo for a “manual upload”. This course will inform students of a cutting edge investigative tool available at the New Jersey Regional Operations Intelligence Center (ROIC). Known as the “Facial Recognition Initiative”, this technology utilizes the Photo Imaging Mugshot System maintained in the New York/New Jersey “HIDTA” program. The repository consists of images from arrested individuals submitted by various law enforcement agencies from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Currently, MVC staff highly trained in the field of facial recognition has been assigned to the ROIC to assist in this endeavor. Along with the instruction, the students will receive reference material to assist in investigations.

Background: Please allow this communiqué to refresh the training components of this standardization undertaking. I have fielded several questions from agency executives as well as their respective training coordinators. To adequately train at the “train the trainer” level the student to instructor ratio must remain manageable. This initial standardization is slotted for one (1) officer from each member agency. This brings the class size to thirty (30), which is relatively large for a Senior (Train the Trainer) level course that covers two separate and distinct curriculums and an additional Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) Instructor Course. I am aware of the need for many agencies to add more than the additional one (1) Senior Instructor, this same of course of instruction will be offered multiple times in 2017 to accommodate each agencies training needs. I ask for your patience and understanding as this project takes foothold and we begin the building blocks of training success. Rest assured that all member agencies will have their training cadre’s filled with enough Senior Level Instructors. I have planned to run this course as many times as necessary to fill each agency’s needs. Please select and schedule the best candidate for this extensive training week as the final product will be the model for your officers/students. Please remember that once your officer successfully completes this training seminar; he/she will be able to certify as many instructors as your agency requires in both the Monadnock Expandable Baton Course (MEB) and the Monadnock Defensive Tactics Course (MDTS). If there are any further questions please contact me direct at (732) 803-7923. Thank you for support! Dr. Michael S. Zarro Jr. Chief of Police Spotswood Police Department Please register at:

DOCUMENT FRAUD FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS This course will assist law enforcement (Patrol Officers as well as Detectives) with training that will enhance their ability to recognize and identify the universe of identity-related documents issued by and relied upon by the MVC and the factors that motivate fraudsters.

Participants will learn the newest trends in counterfeiting of drivers licenses by “on-line” manufacturers, which has becoming increasingly common due to the ease in obtaining access to technologies. This course will also review counterfeit as well as genuine NJ inspection stickers, temporary registrations and certificates of title. In addition, this class will review facial recognition technology as it is used by the Motor Vehicle Commission on all images captured as well as the process that is used with the submission of a photo for a “manual upload”. This course will inform students of a cutting edge investigative tool available at the New Jersey Regional Operations Intelligence Center (ROIC). Known as the “Facial Recognition Initiative”, this technology utilizes the Photo Imaging Mugshot System maintained in the New York/New Jersey “HIDTA” program. The repository consists of images from arrested individuals submitted by various law enforcement agencies from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Currently, MVC staff highly trained in the field of facial recognition has been assigned to the ROIC to assist in this endeavor. Along with the instruction, the students will receive reference material to assist in investigations.

MANDATORY IN-SERVICE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING THROUGH NJ LEARN
BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
The following Bloodborne Pathogens Training meets the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, which was adopted by the New Jersey State Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) Program. Training must be provided at the time of the emergency responder’s initial employment and at least annually thereafter.
The standard requires that emergency responders have access to a qualified trainer while taking on-line training to allow for interactive questions and answers, if needed. This requirement can be met via telephone contact or through email only if the trainer is available to answer emailed questions at the time the questions arise (e.g., live chat). It is the responsibility of each department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide their members with the name, contact information and work hours of the qualified trainer designated to assist with any questions.
The standard also requires that emergency responders are provided with an explanation of the department’s/agency’s written exposure control plan, as well as the means by which members can obtain a written copy. It is the responsibility of each department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide this information to its members. It is critical that each emergency responder knows what to do in the event of an exposure and to be able to articulate their department’s/agency’s exposure control plan.
If the emergency responder has questions relating to any training or modifications made to existing procedures, they should consult with their designated qualified trainer, supervisor, and/or appropriate legal advisor.
