DAVID CARIENS, JR.
- Analytical Thinking and Presentation This workshop will cover all aspects of the production of finished intelligence. Mr. Cariens will look at the various types of intelligence and the role of evidence in each. He will introduce and explain the intelligence style of writing--the style based on the Inverted Pyramid form of paragraph writing used throughout the Intelligence Community. Mr. Cariens will review aspects of the English language that are best suited to the production of finished intelligence (word choice and sentence structure). He will stress the need for conceptualization as the first step to writing—the need to know what you want to tell the consumer of your product. The workshop will look at the ten most frequently made mistakes by Intelligence Analysts in their use of English. Mr. Cariens will also touch upon the ethics of intelligence analysis as well as the relationship between the producers of intelligence and policymakers. He will look at some of the skills Intelligence Analysts need to do their job. Finally, workshop participants will be asked to do an exercise.

- Analyzing Suspicious Activity and Terrorist Threats Terrorist threat information is the proverbial tip of the iceberg--we have no way of knowing how much we are not seeing. Without all the pieces of the puzzle, how do we gauge the threat content of a report, tip, or lead? This workshop provides a common frame of reference for defining and communicating threats, with an emphasis on assessing credibility, confidence levels, and the consequences of how information is acted upon. Understanding the broader context of threat reporting can help intelligence and law enforcement agencies alike focus on the threats that matter most and communicate them effectively at the local, regional, and national level. The presentation also offers tips and techniques for bringing analysis in step with the collection and
information-sharing strides made by the intelligence and law enforcement communities, especially in the area of suspicious activity reporting.

- Conducting International Investigations: Tracking Fugitives and Chasing Leads "Where in the world is Ouagadougou and how do I get investigative assistance there?" Answer to the first question: Ouagadougou is the capital of Burkina Faso, located in northwest Africa.
Answer to the second question: Contact the U.S. State Department, Diplomatic Security Service’s Criminal Investigative Liaison Branch. Investigations with an international nexus can present law enforcement and case workers with unique challenges. Whether chasing down international leads, locating fugitives, or attempting to return an abducted child, the U.S. Department of State will play a major role in any international investigation. This presentation will outline the tools available to Diplomatic Security Special Agents stationed abroad and how local, state, and federal law enforcement officials may request their assistance in overseas investigations. The Diplomatic Security Service (DS) is the security and law enforcement arm of the U.S. Department of State. DS is a world leader in international investigations, threat analysis, cyber security, counterterrorism, security technology, and protection of people, property, and information. Not only is DS a unique organization in the foreign affairs community—but with over 700 officers stationed overseas, DS constitutes the only law enforcement agency to maintain a physical presence in nearly every country in the world. The Criminal Investigative Liaison Branch (CIL) coordinates all requests from outside federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies for criminal investigative assistance overseas. CIL receives requests for assistance related to fugitive apprehensions, homicide, counterfeiting, money laundering, parental abductions, and numerous other criminal offenses. Once a request for investigative assistance is received, the division contacts DS special agents assigned to U.S. diplomatic missions overseas. These special agents, in addition to developing and implementing effective security programs at U.S. diplomatic posts abroad, serve as the primary liaisons with foreign police and security services in efforts to obtain support for U.S. law enforcement initiatives and investigations. CIL receives approximately 1,000 requests for investigative assistance from other U.S. law enforcement agencies every year. Presentation tracks include: (1) an overview of the Diplomatic Security Service and its broad scope of global responsibilities to include criminal investigations and the protection of people, information, and property (2) case studies of successful investigations conducted on behalf of domestic law enforcement agencies, including the return of several high profile fugitives, and (3) procedures to follow to request assistance from DS’ overseas elements.

KATHLEEN LICHAY
- Crimes of "Honor" and Law Enforcement Implications This workshop discussion will focus on those crimes being committed which are commonly referred to as "Honor Killings." These crimes are predominantly directed against females who are being murdered/maimed by members of their own families whose perceived goal is to restore the family's honor/good name. Once thought to be only seen in middle eastern countries and tribal areas, they are now occurring in the United States--in both small and large communities. The concern for U.S. law enforcement personnel is that they could be misinterpreted as merely being crimes of domestic violence instead of what they really are-crimes committed to punish those who have dishonored the family. The discussion will further examine the differences between the two and what law enforcement officers should be aware of when confronting these types of violent crimes.

- Deception Detection and Body Language Analysis This unique workshop will help attendees obtain a marked advantage in skillfully searching for the truth by exploring speech, voice, body and face patterns to determine when a person deviates from his or her normal behavior in an attempt to deceive you. These top-secret tips--used by the instructor and thousands of others--including law enforcement agents, polygraph examiners, and psychologists--will help you confidently establish rapport and control, and ultimately detect deception with accuracy! In this training, students will: (1) define and utilize "norming"/"baselining"/"calibrating" techniques; (2) identify common mistakes people make when attempting to 'read' others; (3) define the terms "truth", "lies", and "leakage"; (4) identify and describe the verbal and non-verbal signs of deception; (5) describe the behavioral attributes of deceptive people; (6) examine key questions that differentiate truthful responses from deceptive responses, thereby blocking the path to manipulation; (7) identify two expressions that indicate when someone is about to discuss something very important; and (8) recognize that all humans produce the same facial emotional displays. Attendees will practice recognizing micro-expressions and the 7-Universal Emotions, using Dr. Paul Ekman's micro-expression DVD training tool.

PETE FAGAN
- Law Enforcement National Data Exchange (N-DEx) Across the country are more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies—local, county, state, tribal, and federal—each gathering information, solving crimes and generating reports. The question is, in an age where many crimes cross one or more jurisdictional and/or state lines, how can agencies share their incident information with each other…to enhance crime fighting efforts, hold perpetrators accountable, and prevent terrorist attacks? Today, beyond NCIC and IAFIS, most information sharing between police agencies is on a case-by-case basis or through local, state, and regional information systems. There has been no national system for incident and related data. Now that has now changed, thanks to the Law Enforcement National Data Exchange, known as N-DEx. N-DEx is the FBI CJIS Division’s national information sharing system available through a secure Internet site for law enforcement and criminal justice agencies. N-DEx is a powerful investigative tool that allows law enforcement agencies to submit and query incident data to make connections between persons, places, events, and crime characteristics – linking information across jurisdictional and state lines – allowing officers to ‘connect the dots’ between people, places, and events. Focus: IACP in partnership with the FBI’s CJIS Division is delivering a communications and educational outreach program to promote awareness and use of N-DEx. The presentation will discuss the status of N-DEx and Increment III, how individual analysts can participate in N-DEx, and real time searches of N-DEx; and the foundation beneath and benefits of nationally sharing incident, offense, and arrest information between all agencies of all sizes through N-DEx.

GREG RODRIGUEZ
- Prison Radicalization and Source Development This workshop will be an overview of Prison Radicalization, in particular Jam’iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh (JIS)--a California case. The JIS case was the first domestic terrorism case after 9/11 and was started in the California prison system. The founding member of JIS was a Hoover Crip who formed the domestic terrorist group and planned to attack United States military operations, “infidels,” Israeli and Jewish facilities in the Los Angeles area, as well as the Los Angeles International Airport. This workshop will also cover the importance of building relationships--not only within the law enforcement community--but at every level. Everyone is a potential source and those relationships helped break this case

JERRY RATCLIFFE, PH.D.
- Strategic Analysis This presentation goes beyond the theory of strategic analysis and cuts to the often harsh reality of conducting strategically-focused thinking in a tactically-fixated world. The aim of the presentation is to help analysts get better mileage from their strategic analyses. Questions this session will address include identifying the policing framework the analyst works in, and then how to leverage interest in their strategic analysis in this environment. Given the differences in law enforcement frameworks (for example, Compstat, community policing, intelligence-led policing) different strategic products will be attractive to different clients. This requires the analyst to understand the client’s business and aims to a far greater degree than many currently do. The seminar will include specific tips to help your strategic thinking gain greater traction. After the presentation, attendees should expect to be more disillusioned, more enthusiastic, and more Machiavellian in roughly equal measures!
