	Counter-Terrorism Detective Douglas Comfort - Fairfax County Police Department Local law enforcement plays a vital role in the counter-terrorism effort, probably more than it even begins to understand. This presentation begins with understanding the terrorist mindset and how this new “criminal” operates and functions. Emphasis is placed on gathering intelligence and evidence to uncover and exploit criminal activity that may be linked to the terrorist effort. Covering both international and domestic terrorism, specific indicators and methods are identified that may lead to exposing or identifying persons associated with a variety of terrorist organizations and efforts. A substantial amount of information to assist uniformed officers and detectives will be produced in the limited time setting. Counter-Terrorism efforts may hinge on specific methods used by criminals and/or terrorists to secrete their true identity. The use of fraudulent documents to avoid detection or to commit criminal acts, in collusion with the rampant use of identity fraud, is an ever-mounting problem to law enforcement officers and detectives. This session will strive to give officers confidence in viewing documents and being able to ascertain those that are fraudulent without the use of tools or instruments; street usable knowledge. From the documents, the officer will travel to document mills to learn about how they are operated and the most effective tools to counter-act their operations. The use of controlled purchases and search warrants will be examined as these are the most common and effective tools to defeat document mills. Presentation tracks include: (Prerequisites required: Sworn law enforcement only) This will be a 2 part session (90 minutes each) How local law enforcement contributes to the counter-terrorism effort The basics of terrorists mindset and operations Recognition of terrorist indicators and/or gathering information and evidence for investigations Recognizing the most common false documents Mount a law enforcement effort against the manufacturers of false documents Familiarization with the applications of search warrants to the investigative process
	Identifying and responding to Students of Concern Administrative Associate Kelly Raeburn - University of Denver Department of Campus Safety Director Don Enloe - University of Denver Department of Campus Safety In March, 2008 the University of Denver, Department of Campus Safety created a 16 question, electronic survey related to Students of Concern.

The hope is to bring some collective discussion around best practices for identifying students with troubled behavior and then connecting them with the best resources to help prevent a violent outcome. Presentation tracks include: (no prerequisites required for this class) This will be a 1 part session (90 minutes) Learn the findings from an International survey of Campus Administrators How campuses can identify best practices for identifying students of concern How to identify where improvements can be made before acts of violence occur
	Investigating violent crimes on campus ( Attempted Murder on Campus Attack at Middle Tennessee State University) Lieutenant Matt Foster - Middle Tennessee State University Police Department Sergeant Brett Huskey- Middle Tennessee State University Police Department When a student is savagely attacked on campus, it is the duty of the university police to investigate the crime. Many university police agencies face the same problems, limited resources, attention from the media, questions from administration, and more importantly the investigation of the crime itself. These are some of the issues MTSU Police faced and lessons learned when a female student was found brutally beaten in a dorm room on campus. The size and scope of the crime guided the decisions that were made in the investigation. Process the crime scene or interview the suspect? How do we secure evidence from a victim that has been airlifted for treatment? Utilizing a local department’s Crime Scene Unit allowed MTSU to focus on different elements of the investigation. With the comatose victim being airlifted and hospitalized 45 minutes away, having another agency is the only solution to collect valuable evidence from the victim. Interagency cooperation is crucial for most, if not all, university police departments. Because colleges are seen as safe havens for learning and education, the community is often shocked by violence on campus, but it can be blood in the water for the news media. Working with the media and sharing some information can sometimes help show the community what steps are being taken to investigate the crime, stops the spread of rumors and even help educate the community to try and prevent repeat occurrences. Investigation and resolution are the most important aspects of the case. Multiple agency involvement requires meticulous record keeping to establish a chain of custody for evidence. Cooperation with doctors and hospitals must be gained. Early close contact with the DA’s office is important our case required a search warrant for the crime scene. Keeping the victim and their family informed is just good business. Presentation tracks include: (no prerequisites required for this class) This will be a 1 part session (90 minutes) Importance of Interagency cooperation Handling the media attention Importance of communication with everyone involved Other situations that may occur while investigating

	Why Every College Campus and University Police Department Should Have Magnetic Powder Know How, When, and Where to Use It Forensic Crime Scene Investigator Jonathan Pelletier- Lynchburg Police Department The mother of invention is not only necessity but ‘surplus’. In 2002, when Investigator Pelletier was appointed head of the Crime Scene Unit, he discovered his predecessors had purchased over 60 pounds of Magnetic Powders (20+ jars). Not fully understanding its capabilities, he began researching the substance and testing its application on various surfaces under various conditions, assisted by interns. In 2004, Investigator Pelletier was invited to Virginia Beach for the Annual Fingerprint Examiner’s Seminar where he was asked to present their findings from a two year study surrounding Magnetic Powder. It was found that unconventional applications proved very successful and practical, especially for various evidence surfaces processed on scene. This session will deal with the basics of fingerprint development and focus on innovative ways of the application of magnetic powder to crime scene evidence beyond the scope of fingerprints. Presentation tracks include: (no prerequisites required for this class) This will be a 1 part session (90 minutes) What magnetic powder is and how it is traditionally used When to use magnetic powder and when not to use it The special properties of magnetic powder to paper and other surfaces
	Security Utilizing CCTV Systems Jesseanne Norton, Supervisor - University of Maryland Department of Public Safety Lt. Jim Goldsmith - University of Maryland Department of Public Safety Crimes occur on campus everyday. A student is carjacked, as he watches the suspect drive off the campus with his vehicle, he contacts 911. The call is dispatched to officers, and as the lookout information is put out over the radio, Security Monitors in the Security Operations Center (SOC) begins a video review. The information gathered via the use of our CCTV systems, to include our gate cameras, provides investigators with information which assists them in identifying the suspect of the stolen vehicle. This is just one of many cases that the SOC has assisted investigators with in solving crimes on the University of Maryland, College Park campus. In December 2006, the Security Operations Center (SOC) received the Governor’s Certificate of Merit for an Outstanding Crime Prevention Program. Presentation tracks include: (no prerequisites required for this class) This will be a 1 part session (45 minutes) Helping investigators connect a ‘name’ to a suspect vehicle.

	The Critical 911 Call – Analyzing 911 Calls for Clues to Deception Dr. Susan H. Adams – Federal Bureau of Investigation (Retired Agent) Through a lively, interactive presentation, participants listen to actual 911 calls and learn to analyze the caller’s words for clues to deception. In cases such as assault, rape, theft, arson, and homicide, the initial 911 call can reveal critical clues to help investigators solve crimes. Without the knowledge of such clues, valuable information may be overlooked. This presentation walks the investigator through twenty different indicators to help identify areas of deception and clues to help reveal if the caller may be the offender. Tips for dispatchers and for developing investigative leads from the 911 calls will also be discussed.   Statements provided to law enforcement officers are inherently contaminated to some extent by the interviewer’s words, tone of voice, and non-verbals, as well as by the environment of the interview. Therefore, 911 calls are invaluable for their voluntary nature and near absence of contamination. The 911 call, in fact, is usually the least contaminated statement of the entire investigation. The first words from callers can often reveal the true nature of the crime.   The presentation draws upon a study by Dr. Adams and Lt. Tracy Harpster, of one hundred adjudicated 911 calls. Fifty of the callers were innocent witnesses; the other fifty callers had committed the crimes but did not admit this fact to the 911 dispatchers.   Presentation tracks include: (no prerequisites required for this class) This will be a 1 part session (90 minutes) Clues to deception during the 911 call. Clues to help reveal if the caller may be the offender. The critical importance of analyzing 911 calls for investigative leads.
	School Shootings – Moving Beyond Lockdown Greg Crane - Response Options (Co-Founder) 32 University students murdered at Virginia Tech. 5 students killed at school in Pennsylvania. 1 student killed and others sexually assaulted at their school in Colorado. 5 people are killed at a school in Red Lake, Minnesota. 10 students killed in the school library in Littleton, Colorado. These are the headlines every parent dreads hearing. These are the headlines every administrator dreads commenting about. These are the headlines every student hopes they never experience. While these tragic events can happen at any school, any time, anywhere, the outcomes do not always have to be so horrific. All of these victims died either acting passively or static, or complying with the bad guy’s demands. Yet in today’s mainstream school safety procedures we tell our staffs and students to stay behind the locked door until help arrives, and/or comply with the demands, and that’s as far as the training goes. But what if there is no locked door or compliance is just getting people shot? What’s the mainstream advice now? Silence. We believe more information must be offered. Were these bad guys successful in their mission of carnage because they were skilled individuals, or because the limited information afforded the building occupants did not require the bad guy to be skilled at all? Our company is called Response Options. We have been featured on Good Morning America, Fox 7 Friends, Geraldo-at-Large, CBS Early Show, BBC World News, and numerous radio and print sources. Since 2004, we train staff and students how to respond to an active shooter amongst them. This training is not in lieu of traditional responses, it is the missing link. Perimeter security, electronic surveillance, and school resource officers are all part of the school safety puzzle. But one of these methods have proven to be guarantees against our children getting hurt. Law enforcement will respond quickly, but not immediately. And it’s during that window of time that our children and teachers are vulnerable and at the mercy of a madman. They should, and must, have more options than hiding in a corner.
