The primary goal is to provide attendees
with a solid foundational understanding as to
what Law Enforcement Analysis is and just as importantly
is not. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding
of the structural breakdown of the discipline.
Attendees will benefit from a frank examination
of the procedural and cultural barriers to the
Law Enforcement Analyst and be exposed to strategies
designed to overcome those barriers. Attendees
will obtain a clear, working understanding of
what the analyst can bring to the Law Enforcement
community.

Course Description: This course
will present the student with a comprehensive
look at the fine art of Interview and Interrogation.
Students will examine the blocks to effective
communication and become familiar with the procedural
traits of successful interrogators. Included will
be a study of legal requisites and the importance
of the full disclosure of facts to the success
of any investigation.
Rationale: The importance of
a legally obtained and comprehensive confession
is irrefutable. Historically, any prosecution
which arrays even minimal physical evidence coupled
with a confession is virtually always successful.
Today’s Law Enforcement Analyst can and
should play an important part in the interview
and interrogation process. Investigators rely
upon current, accurate and valid data to corroborate
versions offered them by suspects. They also use
data as they systematically maneuver suspects
or reluctant witnesses toward a truthful account
of the incident in question.
An analyst knowledgeable of the process of interrogation
and the informational needs of the interrogator
is an invaluable asset to the information gathering
process.
Goals: This course will develop
the student’s understanding of interview
and interrogation procedures. The result will
be an enhanced capability for assistance in the
investigative process. The analyst will become
a valuable asset to investigators in both the
gathering of pertinent information and in the
corroboration of suspect and witness versions.
Instructional Methods and Materials: Lecture,
Power-Point presentation and practical exercise.

Instructor: Lt. Shreves retired
from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department
in 2003 after thirty-three years of service. His
last assignment was Commander of the Sheriff’s
Lancaster Station Detective Bureau. His myriad
experience includes the creation and management
of a Crime Analysis Unit. Lt. Shreves currently
serves as an adjunct instructor in the Administration
of Justice Department at Antelope Valley Community
College where he has taught for over fifteen years.
He lectures at law enforcement seminars around
the country and is recognized nationally in the
field of Covert Operations.
Course Description: This course
offers the student a comprehensive view of a real
life, long-term covert operation with an emphasis
on the potential contributions and responsibilities
of the crime analyst.
Rationale: Project managers
are increasingly including crime analysts as team
members in long-term covert operations. The qualified
analyst has much to offer such an operation, including
a higher potential for success and greatly enhanced
officer safety. To date, specialized training
in covert operations for crime analysts is virtually
non-existent.
Goals: The goal of this session
is to familiarize the crime analyst with the unique
problems and procedures involved with long-term
covert operations. The crime analyst’s capabilities
and potential for meaningful contributions to
the law enforcement effort will be greatly enhanced.
Instructional Methods and Materials:
Lecture, power point, video of actual covert operations.

A Four Day Informational Seminar
Location and Dates to be Determined
MISSION: It is the mission of
this seminar to provide a comprehensive study
of “Long Term Covert Sting Operations”
as “Special Projects.” The target
audience will include those most responsible for
public safety: elected officials, city managers
and staff, sworn police officers at the executive,
command and line level, and non-sworn police items,
particularly crime and intelligence analysts.
Seminar attendees will leave with a solid understanding
of what is needed to successfully administer the
Long Term Covert Operations component of any Problem-Oriented
Policing (POP) program. Attendees will become
cognizant of the benefits of such operations and
will be better equipped to serve their jurisdiction
with confidence, efficiency and professionalism.
RATIONALE: Routine police services
are vital. They are the first line of defense
between predators and the law abiding public and
their worth cannot be overstated. But as any veteran
of the “Public Safety” effort can
attest, career criminals learn from the routine
effort. These “Career Criminals” are
responsible for an inordinate share of serious
crime. It is incumbent upon all entities within
police jurisdictions to work tirelessly and cooperatively
in their effort to stay ahead of the criminal’s
learning curve.
Imaginative, ever changing police efforts should
be the routine. They are not and the reasons are
many. Fear of taking both real and perceived risks,
lack of resources and budget, lack of training,
failure to secure the necessary authorization
and “will this really make a difference”
are common responses. This seminar will address
all these issues and more.

RONALD W. SHREVES
Local law enforcement in the United States is
remiss, missing the boat, virtually ignoring an
invaluable tool in the fight against crime. It
possesses a proven commodity, a tool responsive
both to ever evolving criminal enterprise and
the technology capable of combating it. “Law
Enforcement Analysis” is a discipline whose
time is long overdue. Law enforcement’s
failure to properly engage this discipline is
inexcusable. At best, this failure is due to a
lack of understanding. Ask most police managers
what their analysts do and you’ll hear perceptions
little grounded in substance or reality. Even
more disappointing, less innocent factors contribute
to the problem. Uniquely, this paper is written
from the perspective of a veteran, sworn police
officer. It is hoped that this distinction might
help bridge the gap separating concept and true
commitment. The goal is to make clear many of
the contributions analysts are capable of providing
coupled with a straight forward look at the impediments
to its successful implementation. This paper will
identify steps to improving the understanding
and acceptance of the discipline. Public safety
is suffering from law enforcement’s failure
to engage this valuable resource. Effective change
will require true introspection and a large measure
of administrative courage. Both are long overdue.

A valuable tool in the long-term fight against crime is the abatement and seizure of problem apartments, narcotics houses and businesses operating as fronts for criminal enterprise. This session will give the analyst a sound understanding of that lengthy and complex process. As a result the analyst will add to his/her potential for advanced contribution to the agency’s POP effort.

Budget constraints are symptomatic to all agencies and many good special projects never get past the planning stage as a result. Agencies adept at obtaining grants have a huge advantage in obtaining funding. Grant writing intimidates many but the process is not difficult when understood.
Accurate data from a variety of sources is key to any successful grant proposal. The grant writer will inevitably come to the analyst for assistance. This session will introduce the analyst to the grant writing process and thus improve the quality of contribution to the effort.
