In today’s policing, it has never been more consequential to have a properly trained investigative team to correctly and comprehensively investigate a police officer-involved shooting (OIS). Our LESG team has investigated numerous fatal and non-fatal officer-involved shootings. Our staff will train investigators how to effectively, properly, and within the confines of existing federal and state laws conduct a comprehensive investigation of an OIS.

Our staff is inclusive of experienced prosecutors who will provide their insight, concerns, and what will be required to have a thorough and successful OIS investigation. Our team provides training to foreign governments on the best practices of conducting officer-involved-shooting investigations. LESG has also provided training for the United States government and local agencies in conducting officer-involved-shooting investigations.

Investigating & Responding to Sex Trafficking:

A training for Law Enforcement and Healthcare Professionals

Course Leaders: Sergeant Detective Marc Sullivan, Boston Police Department and Dr. Abigail Judge, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

September 16-18 2023

($799.00)

                        Homestead, FL 

                              

(Police Departments and Medical Professionals should contact for invoices)

Overview:

Police contact with potential sex trafficking victims is an opportunity to interrupt exploitation, link individuals with services, and enforce anti-trafficking laws. More often than not, however, suspected victims do not identify as such, are deeply mistrustful of law enforcement and have significant mental and substance abuse use concerns that police are not equipped to address. There is also a mistrust of police among healthcare professionals, which limits opportunity for collaboration in the service of victim-directed goals. In order for law enforcement to successfully engage victims in services, and for healthcare to appropriately collaborate with police, complex intersections between policing, trauma and addiction must be directly addressed.

Our multidisciplinary faculty include national experts in human trafficking investigations and clinical intervention, who have developed a collaborative model that embeds psychological and survivor expertise at the moment of police response. This conference will introduce law enforcement and healthcare professionals to sex trafficking investigations, with an emphasis on how understanding the  psychology of sexual exploitation can improve enforcement, policing practices, and outcomes for victims and survivors. Participants will acquire knowledge about sex trafficking, learn about best practices in investigations and clinical engagement, and strategies to improve cross-sector collaboration.
