FBI-LEEDA Insighter | April 20132

Greetings

It has been my privilege to serve as President of FBI – LEEDA for the last year. I am proud of the many ac-complishments that we have made over the past year, including the expanding of our leadership programs which are providing the best training to law enforce-ment at all levels throughout the United States.

Our conference this year will feature prominent speak-ers and address up to date situations that have impacted law enforcement and communities nationwide, such as dealing with the active shooter, computer crimes, and surviving a major media event. Please see the program agenda listed in the center of this magazine for a com-plete schedule of speakers and events.

Work is in progress to develop the second tier of our Supervisory Liability Distance Learning class. It will be available in May 2013.

I expect the Executive Board to make an announce-ment on the selection of the new Executive Director by the 15th of April. The high caliber and outstanding qualifications of the applicants will make the selection process extremely challenging for the Executive Board.

In recent months I had the chance to teach an eth-ics class to a Reserve Police Officers Academy. I pose a question to our FBI – LEEDA members -- when was your last ethics class? When I asked this question of a group of experienced law enforcement leaders, most stated “the academy”. Ethics classes are most often taught as a result of two events: our academy training or after an event which has brought negative light to an agency. In order for ethics to become part of our agency’s and profession’s core, we need to examine where it really fits into our core training environment.

We spend countless hours training and preparing our officers and deputies to deal with use of force issues so they can make correct split-second decisions dur-ing those events. How much time do we spend training them to make correct split-second decisions when deal-ing with the ethical dilemmas they face on a daily basis? When we compare use of force decisions to ethical deci-sions our personnel are facing, we find that bad ethical decisions result in more officers and deputies not mak-ing it to retirement than use of force situations. As lead-ers, we owe it to our staff and our profession to ensure ethics are not just something in a manual but a way of life.

Thank you for allowing me to serve in this prestigious position. I look forward to seeing you all in Louisville.

Tom Stone Executive Director FBI – LEEDA

The FBI – LEEDA 22nd Annual Executive Training Con-ference will be one of the premier educational events for law enforcement leaders nationwide in 2013.

Please make plans to join us in Louisville, Kentucky, from May 19-22, to hear first-hand from:

• Daniel Oates, Chief of Police, Aurora Police Depart-ment, Aurora, Colorado will discuss the tragedy that took place at the Century Theatre. Chief Oates will be joined by James Yacone, SAC, FBI Denver Division, and

• Michael Kehoe, Chief of Police, Newtown Police De-partment, Newtown, Connecticut will discuss the trag-edy at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Chief Oates and Chief Kehoe will discuss the events surrounding these tragedies and the lessons learned. A question and answer session will follow each presenta-tion.

Additional presenters will be Robert S. Mueller, III, Director, FBI; John Miller, CBS News Senior Correspon-dent and former FBI Assistant Director - Critical Issues Facing Law Enforcement; Ari Fleischer, former White House Press Secretary to President George W. Bush - Na-tional Perspectives Impacting Law Enforcement; Judy Pal, Chief of Staff, Baltimore Police Department – Social Media and Public Perception; Robert Boback, Security Expert and CEO, Tiversa, Inc. – Protecting Your Intellec-tual Property; and Louis Quijas, Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Connie Patrick, Director, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center – U.S. Department of Homeland Security Partnerships with Law Enforcement.

The Host Committee has put together exciting events to showcase their wonderful city, including dinner at the Kentucky Derby Museum at Churchill Downs on Mon-day evening.

Excellent training opportunities are available not only at FBI – LEEDA’s annual conference but also through-out the year via our many training programs. We are extremely pleased with the overwhelming response to our first Distance Learning program and will be adding a Phase II to the program in May dealing with police li-ability.

As I plan for my retirement later this year, I would be remiss if I did not thank the exceptional personnel and faculty members who provide the skill and knowledge you have come to rely on for education, information, and assistance. The success of any Association rests with its staff. FBI – LEEDA is indeed fortunate to have a dedi-cated, experienced, and professional staff to support the members, programs, sponsors, and corporate partners of the Association. I will be on-hand in the months to come to assist the new Executive Director, when named, to ensure a smooth transition.

The corporate partners of FBI – LEEDA provide vital information to our members and keep the law enforce-ment community informed about the latest technology and services available to them. Our corporate partner-ship program is the best in the industry. Please continue to support the corporate partners of FBI – LEEDA and their service to law enforcement.

As law enforcement leaders, your single, most impor-tant task is to make sure you and the people with whom you work come home safely at the end of the tour.

Always keep your sense of humor – and remember, it’s just another day in paradise…

Cheers,

Tom

FBI-LEEDA

Executive Leadership© This innovative three and one half day program is de-signed for senior law enforcement executives focusing on the emerging challenges facing our profession. This highly interactive program follows the FBI – LEEDA “Cops Talking to Cops” model of professional develop-ment. The seminar uses a wide range of source mate-rial and calls upon the participant’s professional experi-ence to facilitate individual development and enrich the learning environment.

The course first looks inward to identify the forces of change and emerging trends within the law enforce-ment community, such as the challenges of merging the perspectives of Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, and Gen-eration X and Millennia employees and presents leader-ship strategies to manage and adapt to the future condi-tions. The program also looks into the future to forecast several emerging global “Megatrends” that are expected to shape conditions for the next few decades; discuss how those trends will affect the global law enforcement community and how police executives can influence and shape future conditions.

The registration fee for Executive Leadership© is $550.

Leadership and Leaders Without Titles How to Influence Others Without Using Authority / ForceMany leaders are placed in positions of power due to connections, education, personal cha-risma, experience, and/or socio-economic sta-tus. Although these criteria may have a corre-lation with leadership ability, they often leave out the fundamental criterion for being a good leader: a person’s personal make-up, or charac-teristics, as a human being. A leader’s human inadequacies can often lead to leadership fail-ure.

This class will explore the human attributes leaders should have before given the formal au-thority. The registration fee for the Leadership and Leaders Without Titles is $550.

Distance Learning Online Training

New Class - Phase IIAdvanced Supervisory Liability Ensuring Effective and Constitution PolicingFBI – LEEDA is proud to announce its newest on-line training program, Advanced Supervisory Liability On-Line Distance Learning Program, to supplement the Super-visory Liability 101 On-Line training program. The goal of this enhanced program is to ensure effective and constitutional policing through the training of proper supervi-sion standards. The development of these standards includes a review of the current legal standards, case law interpretation, and Common Police practices.

Module One: Supervision Pursuant to Proper Police Practices

This topic area will review the applicable supervisory standards identified through an interpretation of Monell Liability and standards pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Section 14141. This module includes: failure to supervise standards, as well as span of control and unity of command standards. This area of training includes a review of topics such as: performance evaluations, use of early warning systems, and supervisory monitoring/ intervention.

Module Two: Current Trends in Law Enforcement Supervision

This topic area will cover management issues involving the use of technology in daily operation. This module will also include expectation of privacy issues and the seiz-ing of individual mobile phones to include electronic discovery in criminal and civil litigation. Specifically, this module will review how the use and seizure of personally owned and department owned electronic devices affects daily operations. This topic area will also include the affects of social networking to include Facebook, Twitter, and much more on the daily operation of the department.

Module Three: Use of Force Investigations

This topic area will review the process required for supervisors to conduct use of force investigations after an officer uses force, as well as a review of proper police practices as outlined by various litigation and Department of Justice Consent Decrees. This module will also review the requirements of interviewing witnesses, documentation of evidence and injuries, interviewing the subject officer, and reviewing the officer’s use of force report.

Module Four: Conducting Internal Affairs Investigations

This topic area will review the recommended practice for conducting an effective internal affairs investigation. This section will review the citizen complaint process, proper investigation protocols, and the pitfalls found in labor hearings or civil litiga-tion.

We anticipate this training being released to members in May 2013. Supervisors will be required to take the Supervisory Liability 101 training course to be eligible to take this program. The registration fee for Advanced Supervisory Liability class is $350.

There are certain policies that those who advise law en-forcement agencies consider to be “high risk policies.” Use of Force and Force Related Policies, Pursuit Policy, Sexual Harassment and the Citizen Complaint Process are just some of them. Typically, a violation of a “high risk” policy could make a law enforcement agency more susceptible to an increased level of liability and a high-er damages award. Due to the greater risk of extensive litigation, an Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) policy is one that should be included on the list of “high risk” policies. A violation of the ADA brings with it an array of causes of action, both on the Federal and State level, and the ability to create a litigation nightmare for departments.

Under Title II of the ADA, “no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be exclud-ed from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity.1” The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability, per-ceived disability, or association to a person with a dis-ability2. “Discrimination” includes “not making reason-able accommodations to the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified individual with a disability.3” Accordingly, the ADA prohibits discrimina-tion against individuals with disabilities in both state and local governments, services, programs, and em-ployment.

As state and local government entities, law enforce-ment agencies are governed by the requirements of the ADA. Under the ADA law enforcement agencies are re-quired to make reasonable modifications to policies, police practices, and procedures to accommodate indi-viduals with disabilities4. Proper police practices dictate that a police department should have a policy identify-ing ADA guidelines to its officers and should amend spe-cific policies to accommodate individuals with disabili-ties. Law Enforcement Agencies must also adequately train their officers on the ADA policy requirements and applications.

ADA – Do You Have a Policy for That?GENERAL COUNSEL

UPDATE

When considering law enforcement procedures, there are two theories generally recognized by courts in ap-plying the ADA in the context of arrests: first, when po-lice wrongly arrest someone with a disability because they confuse the signs and symptoms of that disability as criminal activity; second, when police properly in-vestigate and arrest an individual with a disability for a crime unrelated to that disability, but fail to reasonably accommodate the person’s disability in the course of in-vestigation or arrest causing the person to suffer greater injury or indignity in that process than other arrestees.

In a recent Fourth Circuit case, Seremeth v. Bd. of County Commissioner Frederick County1, the Appellate Court held that the ADA applies to police investigation of criminal conduct. Specifically, the Court stated that “[a] public entity must ‘make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures when the modifica-tions are necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability, unless the public entity can demonstrate that making the modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity.5’”. The Court further stated that when dealing with “com-munication related disabilities, the ADA requires public entities to ‘take appropriate steps to ensure that com-munications with ... members of the public ... with dis-abilities are as effective as communications with oth-ers,’”6 and to “furnish appropriate auxiliary aids and services where necessary to afford individuals with dis-abilities ... an equal opportunity to participate in, and enjoy the benefits of, a service, program, or activity of a public entity.”7

In Seremeth, the police were called to Seremeth’s home on a report of a possible domestic violence situation. The police officers were instructed that the entire Sere-meth family was deaf. The officers entered Seremeth’s home, handcuffed him, and detained him at his home while they investigated the situation. Ultimately, the of-ficers determined that no domestic violence incident had occurred and released Seremeth. Seremeth later brought suit against the department and others claim-

ing a violation of his rights, including a violation of the ADA, based in part on the actions of the police officers during the incident. The District Court granted sum-mary judgment in favor of the defendants. The Appel-late Court upheld the district court’s decision because it found that the measures taken by the police department and officers to accommodate Seremeth were a reason-able pursuant to meet the requirements of ADA given the exigent circumstances of responding to a domestic violence call. Some of the measures included: (1) the of-ficers utilized their headlights and flashlights to warn the family of their arrival; (2) the officers requested that an officer who was knowledgeable in sign language re-spond to the scene; (3) upon entering the home, the of-ficers used hand motions to instruct Seremeth to drop his remote control and turn around; (4) the officers put their fingers to their lips to instruct the suspect to re-main silent; and (5) the officers used Seremeth’s father to translate.

In an Eighth Circuit case, Barnes v. Gorman,3 an in-dividual confined to a wheelchair brought an action against the city police department and others under the ADA for injuries received when being transported in a police van that was not properly equipped with wheel-chair restraints. Gorman was arrested for trespassing after he failed to leave a night club following an alterca-tion. When the police van arrived, it lacked wheelchair locks and only contained a narrow bench. Gorman in-formed the officers that he could not safely ride in the van. Gorman told the officers that given his disability he would fall from the bench. Despite Gorman’s statement, the officers placed Gorman on the bench and used a seatbelt to strap him in. The seatbelt did not adequately hold Gorman upright. When Gorman complained the officers loosened the seatbelt and used Gorman’s own belt to strap him to the mesh behind the bench to hold him upright. The officers were unable to fold the wheel-chair and place it unfolded in the back of the van with Gorman. During transportation to the department the belt came undone and Gorman fell to the van floor, sus-taining injury. Gorman’s unsecured wheelchair was also damaged during transportation. Following a trial the jury found the defendants liable and awarded Gorman over $ 1 million in compensatory damages.4

Given the potential for extensive litigation and sub-stantial monetary awards law enforcement agencies would be wise to protect themselves from potential li-ability by amending, updating, or drafting a compre-hensive ADA policy. One area the policy should address is police officers’ interaction with the hearing impaired, including providing a list of available interpreters and access to a TDD device. Other areas include: procedures for responding to requests for assistance for disabled individuals and the transportation of suspects with wheelchairs or other mobility devices, procedures for

handling custodial interrogations and bookings includ-ing the use of a medical screening form to help identify individuals with emotional, psychological, or medical-based disabilities, procedures for field enforcement and investigations including traffic stops and crowd/traffic control, and accommodations for holding areas and cells as well as access to bathroom facilities.

The preceding information, however, is by no means intended to be an all inclusive list of the areas of which a department’s ADA policy should include. To ensure that Departments draft proper, comprehensive policies it would be wise for Departments to seek legal advice from counsel to avoid potential unnecessary and costly litigation as a result of claims of discrimination under the ADA.

Furthermore, it is not enough for departments to merely have a comprehensive ADA policy. It is equally important for departments to ensure that their officers receive regular and thorough training on the policy and the ADA in general. As we found in Seremeth, it is imper-ative that officers are knowledgeable with regard to in-cidents involving persons with disabilities. If the officers in Seremeth had not been knowledgeable with regard to the accommodations that they provided the Appellate Court could have come to a very different conclusion.

The Department of Justice: Civil Rights Division is a very useful resource for law enforcement agencies that endeavor to develop, amend, or update appropriate ADA policies and procedures. For example, the Depart-ment of Justice provides a pocket handbook to assist of-ficers when communicating with deaf individuals. The handbook can be downloaded at http://www.ada.gov/policeinfo.htm. Other useful information pertaining to the application of the ADA in law enforcement can be found at the following Department of Justice website as well: http://www.ada.gov/publicat.htm.

2 It is typically not advisable, however, to utilize a family member as an inter-preter for reasons that the emotional connection may interfere with the ability to interpret impartially. Given the exigent circumstances in the Seremeth case, however, the Appellate Court found the use of Seremeth’s father as an interpreter reasonable.

In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook, Connecticut shoot-ings, federal, state, and local law enforcement agen-cies are devoting time and resources to Active Shooter response and training techniques, as well as reviewing response protocols within school systems and emer-gency management procedures. These efforts are im-portant, and certainly timely considering the recent rise in school violence.

While the law enforcement community is continually improving Active Shooter response procedures, innova-tive techniques should not forgo the detection and pre-vention lessons learned during the past twenty years.

Before deploying troops to Afghanistan and Iraq, the federal government’s security officials faced a host of threats to American bases, embassies, consulates, and other foreign-based facilities. The lessons learned from these experiences - some hard, such as the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania; some successful, such as the handling of security in countries like Indonesia and the Philippines - provide a useful template for adaptation to domestic, community-based prevention and detection measures. These lessons include:

– Engaging all elements of the community in sim-ple detection and surveillance measures

– Making communication between security spe-cialists and the broader community a regular, two-way channel of communication

– Explaining the value of information security within a community, particularly one involving children, and creating secure and safe spaces to discuss ideas

– Validating the instincts and observations of all members of a community

– Shifting a community away from the idea of hardware as the answer to all threats, and into the idea that vigilance and awareness is pri-mary

– Moving community members away from per-ceptions that security measures exist to penalize them, and towards ownership in the success of those measures.

Henley-Putnam University: Real-World Impact of Developing Collaboration Skills

One of the advantages of studying at a university such as Henley-Putnam—where the focus remains exclu-sively on strategic security—is the opportunity to bridge communities and cultures in the security arena. Stu-dents and faculty at Henley-Putnam University come from the special operations community, federal, state, and local law enforcement, military intelligence, mili-tary police, corporate security, government contracting positions, and throughout the intelligence community. In many ways, the University is a microcosm of the larg-er intelligence, counterterrorism, and security fields.

As an alumnae and program adviser to students, I see one recurring theme in the classroom: unconventional collaboration across security communities generates effective and innovative solutions, and minimizes the chances of repeating past mistakes. I see this occurring for two reasons. First, the classroom provides a creative space for students to not only think critically but also engage in original problem solving. Second, most secu-rity professionals are so encumbered by their workload, they often fail to realize how much their working knowl-edge can benefit other groups facing similar challenges. So many of our intelligence and security profession-als are tasked with such significant workloads that the mental space to engage and collaborate is often hard to find. This challenge is where engagement with universi-ties, particularly those staffed by security operators and professionals—such as Henley-Putnam University—can provide a unique opportunity to participate in col-laboration in a way that is focused, effective, and well managed.

News reports of cyber crimes and intrusions are becom-ing more prevalent – many of which are being attributed to Anonymous. In addition to their protests, Anony-mous also has been known to infiltrate, deface websites and shut them down using Distributed Denial-of-Ser-vice (DDoS) attacks. Everyone who doesn’t understand Anonymous assumes each member is a 15 year-old kid in a basement; however, if there is one thing the Anony-mous collective is trying to achieve, it is to demonstrate that this typical perception is not true.

With their most recent promotion and sympathy for former LAPD officer-gone-renegade Chris Dorner, Anonymous continues to wreak havoc against those who have been involved in the Dorner investiga-tion. Most people understand Anony-mous as a group of hacktivists – a group

of people who hack to promote a certain cause. They are known by the mass public

as chaotic and unpredictable, without a clear vision for their group.

Anonymous members associate themselves with an idea, and do not consider themselves to be a part of a defined group. This is a key factor in understanding Anonymous, yet this crucial misunderstanding of their structure is frequently the crux of mainstream misun-derstanding.

The overarching theme of an “Anonymous” ideal is freedom of the people. This is a pretty vague idea, which should be taken literally.

Understanding Anonymous as a mindset, and not a group, would hopefully provide clarity to how DDoS’ers pillage internet sites. They are not strictly defined by guidelines, because there are no guidelines to follow. There is no email you contact, and no website you reg-ister for. Any person who believes they are being con-trolled by society can call themselves part of the Anony-mous movement.

Understanding Anonymous’ Roots

Similar to large groups, Anonymous holds many opin-ions. Their strict belief is the understanding that there are no strict beliefs, with the exception of internet priva-cy and limited government regulation. As Encyclopedia Dramatica (an online source for Anonymous and lulz ideals) explains:

“This is why the anonymous seems so cruel and disgusting. But for every grotesque abomi-nation that posts anonymously, there are prob-ably 100 more who are decent human beings that are just too lazy to post, or are indifferent to the topic at hand.”

A lot of people believe in the core principles Anony-mous stands for, but there are only a portion that pro-test in public, and a smaller few that take down sites in protest; however, the sheer numbers of Anonymous al-low for a diverse amount of skill sets, which can often confuse the uninformed into believing that everyone in Anonymous holds hacking capabilities.

The emergence of criminal activity through Anony-mous ideals has created a set of challenges unique to the online environment. Technological breakthroughs coupled with crowdsourcing via Anonymous operations create situations where we cannot predict where or how fast a criminal threat can emerge.

A fundamental shift in how we look at crime and its occurrence in cyberspace needs to occur. We need not only an awareness of this problem but financial and leg-islative solutions that support law enforcement’s ability to respond. In the end, knowing the problem and stay-ing current with emerging technologies is a good first step.

Today, more than ever before, law enforcement leaders are challenged to provide comprehensive police servic-es to their communities while facing either a no-growth or declining degree of budgetary support. To fulfill those important community obligations several creative prac-tices are being implemented across the nation. One such practice is the Criminal Investigator Enhancement Program that was implemented in September 2011 in Galveston, Texas. This article will outline that program and provide some initial evaluative comments.

Introduction

Galveston, Texas is located on a barrier island to the southeast of the Houston-Galveston metropolitan area. A popular vacation destination, the city of Galveston was founded in 1839. The city has both an industrial base and a major ocean port. The municipal police de-partment is the oldest municipal police department in Texas. Led by Chief Henry Porretto the agency has an authorized staffing level of 164, with 132 commissioned as peace officers.

The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston is an academic health center that includes the regional Level I Trauma Center (John Sealy Hospital) and hosts the Galveston National Laboratory. The university is the oldest medical school west of the Mississippi River and is the major regional employer. The university police de-partment was established in 1969. Led by Chief Thomas Engells the agency has an authorized staffing level of 101, with 55 commissioned as peace officers.

Context

Crime is simply an aspect of modern urban life and it exists in this community. The nature of crime varies by location across the island. The city’s crime situation mirrors that expected of a city that is both a recreational destination and a port city. As found across the nation there has been a general decline in crime over the last two years.

However, it is important to note that crime is not nec-essarily an independent variable but can be a depen-dent variable. The criminals who engage in crime in the city will also engage in crime at the university and vice versa. The traditional approach to crime prevention and

crime control can be adjusted to produce greater re-sults. Simply stated, the university and the municipality have a shared interest in the effective intervention and interdiction of crime at the earliest point possible for the safety of the community at large – be it in the neigh-borhood or on the campus. The modern age requires a less parochial view of crime and crime control; it is in the interest of both the city and the campus communi-ties to view crime as a shared concern.

A Leadership Moment

In 2010-2011, these two law enforcement agencies - Galveston and UTMB - underwent a change in estab-lished executive leadership. The Chiefs of Police at both agencies retired after significant tenures. During this period of transition, a leadership moment was identi-fied and exploited by the new Chiefs. The university po-lice is led by a career university police executive and the municipal chief is a career police executive whose roots in the Galveston community are deep and significant.

A new functional relationship between these two agencies was established based upon the actions tak-en by the Chiefs. The past relationship between these agencies was marked by a mutual suspicion built upon a foundation of misunderstanding. The Chiefs grappled with a means to open a new chapter in that relationship and designed the Criminal Investigator Enhancement Program as a visible marker of an actual partnership and a tool for such change.

Criminal Investigator Enhancement Program - Some Principles and Program DesignThis program is built upon several principles:

• Crime does not respect political borders or agency boundaries

• The city and the university have shared and mutual interest in effective crime prevention and crime control

• Rapid and effective investigation of serious crime di-rectly contributes to a perception of community safety

• Experience gained from investigating complex crimi-nal acts contributes to the professional development of practitioners.

The Partnership of Municipal and University Police Departments:The Galveston Experience

www.fbileeda.org 19

FBI-LEEDA

The program’s core concept was to enhance the train-ing and experience of the participating university po-lice officer by assigning that officer to duties with the Galveston Police Department’s Criminal Investigation component. This core concept was not without risk. Those risks were acknowledged during the design phase of this program. Risks that could be mitigated were while other risks were acknowledged, accepted and the program partners forged ahead. Some of those identi-fied risks included:

• Assignment – The specific job tasks to be assigned to the participating university officer were no-tionally outlined. However, it was understood that if the assignment failed to be profession-ally challenging, e.g. a simple desk assignment completing paperwork, the university police of-ficer would disengage, the development oppor-tunity would be lost and the program would fail.

• Selection – The selection of the participant of-ficer would be critical to the success of this program. The officer had to be mature and adaptive (able to work effectively in teams within a fluid and changing environment). The selection process was designed as a joint effort; the municipal Criminal Investigations Supervisor actively participated with univer-sity Criminal Investigations Supervisor in the ranking and selection of the candidate officers.

• Communication – The university police officer would be embedded into the municipal po-lice unit. The nature of this assignment would limit communication on several issues due to operational security concerns of the active in-vestigation of evolving and complex criminal cases. A routine briefing protocol was estab-lished between the municipal and university Criminal Investigation supervisors. The par-ticipant officer retained administrative report-ing requirements as a university employee, but the university police supervisor ensured these university obligations did not create conflict with operations of the municipal Criminal In-vestigations unit. It became a matter of trust.

• Supervision – The key to program success was the supervisory skills of the Galveston and uni-versity Criminal Investigations supervisors, for each supervisor would face unique chal-lenges. The Galveston Police Department’s Criminal Investigations supervisor was as-

signed a new investigator who was simultane-ously a part of and apart from the municipal criminal investigations unit. Some municipal police officers expressed the view that this uni-versity police officer was depriving them of an assignment to Criminal Investigations. That challenge was addressed in an effective and transparent manner by the Galveston Police Department’s Criminal Investigations supervi-sor and senior commanders. In contrast, The University Police supervisor had a subordinate police officer, for whom he was responsible, assigned to a unit whose tasks he did not con-trol. A focus on the differences would doom the project to failure, but a shared commit-ment to success could contribute to the resolu-tion of the inevitable conflicts that would arise over time as the program was implemented.

• Liability – This partnership would not alter or discharge the liability that may arise from op-erations by either agency. The legal staffs at both the municipality and university ensured that neither principal was harmed by this pro-posed partnership and then vetted the Memo-randum of Agreement as legally sufficient.

The initial assignment was envisioned to be sixty days in length with weekly conferences between Criminal Investigations Supervisors to discuss accomplishments and challenges as they arose. The Chiefs would be ap-prised immediately of any issues of significance as they arose. Both Chiefs have the ability to withdraw from the program at any time with notice to the other principal.

Evaluative Comments

The success of this program to date has far exceeded our expectations. The first officer assigned, September 2011, had his assignment extended to be seven months in du-ration. Within the first five days of his assignment the university officer was involved in the identification and seizure of a marihuana grow house, the reputed largest such seizure in the history of both agencies. As impor-tant, during his tenure at the Galveston Police Depart-ment this officer conducted follow-up investigations of violent crimes, participated in surveillance activities and performed the duties and responsibilities as a De-tective.

Upon his rotation, another university officer was as-signed to the program in March 2012, that initial pro-gram participant resumed his duties at Criminal In-


FBI-LEEDA

vestigations at the university. The effective working relationships, established during his tenure at the pro-gram, have markedly enhanced his productivity as a criminal investigator. The frequency of the exchange of formal and informal operational information, the shar-ing of resources and the degree of demonstrated coop-eration between these agencies in the area of criminal investigations has markedly improved.

Summary

It is our considered opinion that this small program has yielded substantive results that far out-weigh the risks and costs of the program. The university police have gained a uniquely trained and experienced criminal investigator, while the city has had the benefit of the work of a qualified police officer at no direct cost. The agencies remain committed to this specific program and continue to seek other ways to span the boundaries between these agencies to contribute to effective crime control and progressive crime prevention in the Galves-ton community. The traditional relationship between

— Chief Thomas Engells The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston Police Department, and— Chief Henry Porretto The Galveston Police Department, Galveston, Texas

campus and municipal law enforcement agencies is often marked by a high degree of insularity, with few common touch-points. The change in that relationship is not without risk. A clear understanding of scope, role and responsibilities must be established early to facili-tate success. Ongoing and open communication at all levels has ensured that the inevitable misunderstand-ings do not morph into actual problems of significance. In closing, the Public University Police Departments are an integral part of the larger community in which they are located. Coordinated crime control and crime prevention efforts involving campus, city and county law enforcement agencies benefits the community as a whole and is simply - the right thing to do.

It’s 3 a.m. on a winter night and an officer is responding to the second alarm activation at a location that he or she knows is a frequent location for false alarms. This false alarm scenario and countless others are played out on a daily basis, requiring unnecessary police response.

With the rapid shrinking of law enforcement bud-gets, police chiefs, sheriffs and other public officials are caught between the pressure from the public to con-tinue the same standard of service, versus reducing or eliminating the response to alarms completely by units in the field.

Is a physical security guard the answer? It might be, if you have the impossible good fortune of having well trained, experienced, incorruptible guards, who can cover every aspect of a guarded location at once, not fall asleep, not leave their post, not create liabilities by inappropriate action, and … the list goes on and on in an effort to define a human guard that can provide truly effective security. Sadly, such a guard does not ex-ist. In fact, the businesses you deal with using security agent/guard firms certainly face some, if not all, of these commonly known negative issues with using security guards, and are paying a significant cost to do so.

Remote Guarding is the solution that leverages lead-ing edge technologies with forensics based processes and highly trained staff to dramatically impact all of the following: reduce false alarms, prevent crime and loss-es, and reduce the need for law enforcement resources, thereby dramatically lowering costs across the board. Remote Guarding principles were developed by Aria Kozak, a former member of the Israeli military forces and one of the leading experts on the development of new innovations to the security industry, to address the complete security failure of security guards and current uses of security technologies, like burglar alarms. With over 40 years of security industry experience, Aria has been directly involved in leading the planning, develop-ment, provision and use of alarm and camera systems, as well as physical guarding services. Dissatisfied with Stone Age methods and uses of technology, Aria devel-oped a unique approach to integrating current technol-ogies, staffing and processes to generate security results far beyond what the current security industry had ever imagined.

Remote Guarding is comprised of: 1) A camera sys-tem, integrated with military quality software designed

Remote Guarding: The State of the Art of Crime Prevention

to automate identification and notice to agents of po-tential security problems; 2) Well trained security agents in a remote command center receive the notices and immediately address problems by using software and an audio speaker system to speak to intruders and tell them they are being observed and recorded and should leave immediately; 3) If and only if needed because an incident rises to the level of a crime in progress, agents contact law enforcement directly to report crime, con-tinue monitoring the event, and assist with the response as needed.

To illustrate, consider the Acme Auto Dealership, which has Remote Guarding in place. False alarm calls to the police are reduced to zero due to agent assess-ment of every potential intrusion/event in real time by live video, including raccoon, wind or other typi-cal false alarms. Security threats involving actual indi-viduals and/or vehicles are quickly assessed, where the transient who is searching for cans in the dumpster, or the potential criminal who is identified before he actu-ally begins a crime, is spoken to by the security agent and told to go away. However, if the individual(s) is ac-tively breaking into vehicles, they are monitored as law enforcement is called. The communications operators and responding units have the best possible informa-tion, a trained first person witness to a crime in prog-ress, constant updates to the suspects’ activity, location and whether any weapons were seen. Additionally, this information is recorded on video by cameras controlled by the agent to specifically track the event, resulting in the best evidence available for later prosecution.

As we all move forward in ways to better serve our communities, with less resources and finances that ever before, we face the need to find viable, cost effective al-ternatives to traditional methods of handling crime. Re-mote Guarding presents community members the op-portunity for levels of crime and loss prevention never before seen, and does so with dramatic cost savings to both public and private entities. Elite Interactive Solu-tions has established the benchmark for these Remote Guarding service levels.

I have a Master of Science Degree in Criminal Justice Administration from Western New England College. I am a Graduate of the FBI National Academy Session #248. I attended PERF’s Senior Management Institute for Police Class #48. I attended several FBI – LEEDA trainings as well as FBI-LEEDS New England. We are hosts for FBI – LEEDA trainings as well.

I formerly served as a high ranking member of the Framingham Police Department for 28 years and was a driving force behind the development of many in-novative programs that involve caring for children who have witnessed violence, a jail diversion program, that improved our response to calls dealing with those with mental illness. I am well known for handling diverse communities and my ability to bring many different groups of people together for a common goal. I have had the opportunity to work at every level of law en-forcement from operations to administration.

I insist that all officers will be empowered to reach their potential. As a 36-year veteran of policing, I am passionately committed to continuous professional de-velopment. As a transformational leader, I have a proac-tive management style and “servant model” approach mindset.

I can say without hesitation that FBI – LEEDA has the greatest positive effect upon my organization. FBI – LEEDA is simply the best leadership training available.

Chief Paul Shastany FBI – LEEDA Candidate for Sergeant-At-Arms

At this time, 9 of our 12 super-visors are Trilogy Award recipi-ents and I expect to have four more next year. I have also sent seven patrol officers to the Su-pervisor Leadership Institute. My goal is to have every mem-ber of our department attend.

The Stoughton Police De-partment was recognized in FBI – LEEDA Insighter magazine for “setting a new standard of excellence in terms of en-hancing fellowship as well as tying in leadership lessons with the outside the classroom practical reality.”

In March 2012, We hosted a “Supervisory Leader-ship Institute” training class. The importance of lessons taught by FBI – LEEDA instructors, Larry Horak and Tim Plotts, were reinforced during a “behind the scenes leadership tour” at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. We are pleased that they recognize the Stoughton Police Department as “fostering positive or-ganizational development akin to the blueprint used by the Patriots.”

With that said, I have found leadership training begins when you pin on your badge and swear your oath. I am committed to continuous improvement and advance-ment in our chosen profession.

Undoubtedly this position will be highly sought after by many qualified candidates, but none will bring the unique qualities, level of experience, work ethic, effec-tive leadership style and genuine interest than I pres-ently offer to you.

I would be honored if I received your support in this election.

– Paul J. Shastany
