Explore the challenges involved with no body homicide investigations. Most start as missing persons cases; the suspect’s head start coupled with the absence of the victim’s body leaves gaping holes in the investigation. Join us to hear from experienced instructors as they provide the framework and tools to build a prosecutable circumstantial case—regardless of the age of the case—from proving the victim is dead using established practices such as victimology, interviews, documents/records/digital footprint to search strategies and best practices in documentation. This training will also provide established prosecution strategies that maximize the likelihood of success. During instruction, there will be an opportunity to share your case as a class participation case study exercise.
The opioid crisis and the flood of other drugs has reached epidemic proportion in many of our communities.

The Internet of Things (IoT) involves a web of data which requires planning to access and manage. During this training, we will explore devices and their connected systems, to understand how they create valuable evidence and could have significance at crime scenes. Examination through live demonstrations on how to retrieve and review the data, identify applicable Fourth Amendment concepts, and apply them to build a legally defensible and ethical case will be discussed.
Discuss the value of peer recovery support services (PRSS) to enhance substance use recovery. Explore the history of peer support as an effective intervention for tribal populations. Engage in peer exchange with tribal representatives who have implemented a peer support program, including an opportunity for Q&A. This webinar will review a new valuable resource available to support tribes interested in implementing a PRSS Program, Culturally Responsive Pathways to Peer Programming in Tribal Communities. Discover available grant funding and training and technical assistance opportunities.
911 Telecommunicators are the first responders in missing children cases, playing a critical, life-saving role as the link between a missing child and their safe return. This interactive course will equip telecommunicators with the essential skills and resources needed to manage these high-stakes situations. By analyzing real cases, learn to recognize the various types of missing children incidents and how they are reported. Through call analysis and scenario-based learning, explore optimal practices, utilizing NCIC, APCO, and ANSI systems and standards. Additionally, the course focuses on resilience-building strategies to support the telecommunicator’s mental health in these emotionally demanding cases.
As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes ubiquitous in our everyday lives there are privacy and security concerns that citizens should be aware of. This training will provide an overview of IoT and will teach law enforcement officials methods to engage with their communities to provide information about IoT privacy and security. Steps that community members can take to be safer with these devices, and effective teaching strategies regarding prevention will be covered.
Pediatric aquatic abuse has a high risk of being missed as it can lack visible injuries, can silence the victim literally and figuratively, and being a form of asphyxiation, can later present as respiratory illnesses or other injuries. Aquatic homicides are at risk of both cause and manner of death misdiagnosis, partially because drowning is a circumstance-dependent, diagnosis of exclusion that can facilitate active staging by offenders.
Test your community’s response in conducting an initial investigation, search and canvass activities for a missing or abducted child scenario occurring on tribal lands. Employ strategies and responses in mitigating and resolving the emergency. Participate in a multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional tabletop exercise, to build cohesiveness with tribal, state, local and federal partners when responding to an emergency.
