A slip, or fall in a jail can lead to a serious staff injury.  The same hazards impact the inmate population and increase costs through workers compensation, loss of work, medical, and liability claims.  The financial burden can be significant on Agency budgets. This seminar will share best practices and other effective safety management tools to reduce injury risk; improve efficiencies; and create an environment free of recognized injury hazards.

 

This presentation discusses using different methods for privatization of civil process.  Bring your questions and stories of your endeavors in this area.

 

A unique look at using education to deliver positive reinforcement of an organization’s core values and practices.

 

The Department of Homeland Security will share answers to frequently asked questions from law enforcement personnel and provide information about tools and training courses that are available to support investigations and prosecutions involving qualified immigrant victims of crime.

 

A Shoot-House permits 360-degree target arrays and requires moving and shooting with other bystanders present. Communication and decision-making skills are critically important anytime firearms are involved in a law enforcement situation. See how the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office developed a relevant and challenging training. 

 

The Clayton County (GA) Fire Department, Police Department, and Sheriff’s Office established a Tactical Medic Program (TMP) in 2006. See how the program improves the quality and urgency of emergency medical care to sheriff SWAT/SRT operators.

A how-to on what the Department of Defense Programs offer to aide US Law Enforcement: The Domestic Preparedness initiative, 1033 Program, and 1122 Program. Learn how property can be received at no cost or a reduced rate.

 

Handling prisoner grievances is one of the chief cornerstones of prisoner management. It requires a defined, structured, and comprehensive approach in order to maintain the safety, security and order of the jail in a constitutional manner.

 

Despite the limited and, generally, indirect connection between administers and individual prisoners, when a prisoner dies as a result of prisoner-on-prisoner assault, self-inflicted harm, an accidental injury, a medical problem, or other cause the first name listed among the defendants in litigation is generally that of the chief executive (i.e., sheriff, jail commander, director of corrections, warden).  Being named as a defendant does not, however, mean the defendant is culpable. This course discusses how vulnerable administrators are to liability claims of failure to protect and what they can do to reduce their vulnerability to liability.  

 

This workshop will present an overview of how sheriffs can effectively participate in the local decision-making process that affects the population in their jails.  

 

Know the most recent rulings pertaining to jails and how those changes affect policy and procedure.

 

eGuardian was developed to help meet the challenges of collecting and sharing terrorism-related activities among law enforcement agencies across various jurisdictions. But it has evolved to be used by federal, state, local, tribal law enforcement agencies, the Department of Defense, and public safety personnel in general. 

 

The FBI is looking forward to providing participants with a unique information sharing tool for counterterrorism suspicious activity reports (SARs). This tool, eGuardian, is free of charge and located on the internet, where ever you choose to connect.  All those who attend this training will receive a certificate from the FBI.

This 60-minute course will provide Deputy Sheriffs information about human trafficking (both forced labor and commercial sex) through live-action video scenarios, taken from real  cases, as well as interactive exercises and knowledge checks.  The overall training objective is to provide Deputy Sheriffs the ability to identify signs and indicators of human trafficking that these deputies might encounter during their routine duties.  This course also clearly defines human trafficking and how it is not the same as smuggling.

 

Mental health issues are rapidly changing the administration and operation of jails in America. This seminar addresses current issues, liability and case law pertaining to mental health in corrections. 

 

The Americans with Disabilities Act and Corrections; Legal Requirements Translated into Practices

U.S. Department of Justice (US DOJ) presenters describe Americans with Disabilities Act legal requirements for corrections and new regulations for correctional facilities' effective March 15, 2011. Through audience participation and photographs, they will demonstrate effective ways to address disability issues in four areas:  (1) physical accessibility;  (2) program access;  (3) effective communications;  (4) medical related disability issues. 

 

There is a lack of intelligence coordination between law enforcement and corrections officials, largely due to the fact that many officers are unaware of the wealth of intelligence within correctional facilities. Corrections is an unexploited source of vital intelligence. Many correctional facilities identify and track gang members/career criminals, and have the capacity to monitor mail, telephone calls, and visits. Police agencies and prosecuting attorneys need to work cooperatively with corrections officials.

 

Jail administrators must understand the importance of approaching traumatic events in and out of the facility have an impact on staff and operations.   Know the signs and critical responses.

 

This seminar will be a panel comprised of law enforcement officials that were directly involved in the mitigation and investigation of four recent attacks on county and local courthouses.  It will include a review of the behavior of the subjects, the factors leading up to the attacks, the active shooter tactics used, the court security operations that were in place, and response protocols and lessons learned as a result of these tragic incidents.  

 

The presentations will include shooting incidents at: the City Hall and City Court Building in Middletown, New York on February 8, 2012; the Tulsa County Courthouse in Tulsa, Oklahoma on March 7, 2012; the Gray’s Harbor County Courthouse in Montesano, Washington on March 9, 2012; and the Jefferson County Courthouse in Beaumont, Texas on March 14, 2012.  

 

Lawsuits from prisoners and publishers alike were filed at an alarming rate.  Even more disturbing is the amount of settlements by jails in 2011 for hundreds of thousands of dollars.  In particular, Prison Legal News is litigating all over the U.S. and seems to be trying to sucker jail administrators into rejecting subscription to their publication.  Winning litigation with PLN must start with policy and procedure development and jail standards that set forth the proper way of handling subscription requests.  Waiting to you get sued to act may be too late.  Learn what you need to know to defend your jail.  

 

This seminar will discuss a variety of jail special operations units and capabilities matrixes, with an emphasis on how to be self-sufficient as a Jail Special Operations Unit in the areas of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capabilities.  Discussions will also include topics of when roadside "Patrol and Other resources" have to come in and provide assistance in either primary or secondary roles.

 

The recent Supreme Court decision correctly gives administrative discretion to justify strip searches.  This seminar will address questions and concerns governing searches in jails and how to correctly use this ruling if you decide to change your jail’s policies and procedures.
